"The former detective was charged with perjury and pleaded no contest in 1996. He went on to become a TV and radio commentator and wrote the book "Murder in Brentwood" about the killings. During Simpson's criminal trial, the prosecution asked him to put on gloves believed to have been worn by the killer, but they didn't appear to fit properly."
"Defense attorney Johnnie Cochran famously told the jury in his closing argument, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." On Oct. 3, 1995, Simpson was acquitted of all criminal charges. Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a separate civil case, and then served nine years in prison on unrelated charges."
Mark Fuhrman, a former Los Angeles Police Department detective, died May 12 at age 76. He was known for reporting the discovery of a bloody glove in O.J. Simpson’s 1994 murder investigation and for recordings that included repeated racial slurs. Fuhrman was convicted of lying on the witness stand during Simpson’s criminal trial and was later charged with perjury, pleading no contest in 1996. He became a TV and radio commentator and wrote “Murder in Brentwood.” The glove evidence and his credibility were heavily contested during the trial, and Simpson was acquitted in 1995. Fuhrman’s death occurred in Idaho, with no immediate cause provided.
