...Simpson murder trial turned briefly, but memorably, into a Cinderella-like spectacle as prosecutors sought a fit for the case's famous bloodied gloves. "They're too small," said Simpson as he struggled, at prosecutor Christopher Darden's behest, to pull the allegedly incriminating gloves over his hands-a turn of events that was widely perceived as a blunder for the prosecution. Darden quickly suggested Simpson was faking his difficulty, then solicited expert testimony that the blood-soaked leather gloves had shrunk...
...department store was called to the stand today. Continuing the prosecution's line of footwear questioning, former Bloomingdale's shoe salesman Samuel Poser said that although he remembered selling O.J. size 12 shoes on several occasions, he couldn't remember if they were the Italian Bruno Magli shoes that prosecutors say left bloody prints at the crime scene.

Prosecutors unexpectedly announced that they will not callDr. Irwin Golden, saying that Golden's superior, Coroner Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, hasgiven jurors a complete analysis of the murder wounds. As defense attorney Robert Shapiro leapt to his feet to declare the defense's intentions to call Golden as a witness once the prosecution completes its case, Judge Lance Ito inquired when...
TIME's Burke reports that Antonio Di Pietro, a legendary Italian prosecutor who has spearheaded "Clean Hands," is under investigation himself. Prosecutors in the northern city of Brescia are looking into a $75,000 loan he received from a businessman who was later implicated in the investigation. Of Di Pietro, once the most popular man in Italy, a graduate student in Rome told Burke: "He was the only person in Italy I believed...
