By using video from football broadcasts, she told Judge Lance Ito that she could prove that the leather gloves worn byO.J. Simpsonduring the games were the same pair used in the murders.

...Cochran exploded, calling the question "racist" and demanding that it be struck from the record. The two lawyers, who have been at odds since Cochran suggested early in the trial that Darden was only on the prosecution's team to appeal to black jurors, quickly began arguing. Judge Lance Ito cleared the court, threatening to hold both men in contempt. Later, he allowed Darden's question to stand...
