It is a phrase that has become an enduring motto in American history. OJ Simpson was standing trial for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Police said they found a bloody glove at the scene and many hours later a police detective scaled a wall outside OJ Simpson’s house and said he found a match. The prosecution's request to have OJ Simpson try on a pair of gloves spawned a phrase that become an enduring motto and marked a key moment in the case - “If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit”. The American football star was acquitted of murder, He was found responsible for her death in a civil lawsuit and later imprisoned for armed robbery and kidnapping. The actor’s death from cancer was announced on Thursday (April 11).
