Boris Johnson compares himself to OJ Simpson as he struggles to put on glove

His lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, focused on the glove as one of the key pieces of evidence. After Simpson struggled to put them on in the courtroom, Mr Cochran told the jury: “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”

Simpson was cleared of murder following the trial, but two years later a civil court jury found him liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and Mr Goldman, and ordered he pay their families $33.5 million.

In 2016, the documentary “O.J.: Made in America” claimed that Simpson’s team had instructed him to stop taking hand medication so it would swell and not fit the glove.

Former Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti, who led the prosecutor’s office during the trial, told ABC’s Good Morning America: “What we didn’t know until I saw it on this film was that O.J. Simpson was taking arthritic medication for his hands and he was told, ‘If you stop taking this arthritic medication, your hands will swell. Your joints will stiffen,’” Garcetti said. “My God.”
