image for A new documentary reveals one reason why the gloves didn't fit O.J. Simpson

It turns out that there are still untold stories from the "trial of the 20th century.".

The murder trial of O.J. Simpson was watched by tens of millions of people in 1995 and analyzed endlessly by the media, and just about every person involved, including Simpson, has written a book about it.

Simpson, according to Gilbert, had stopped taking his arthritis medicine two weeks before, so his hands were swollen.

"I never knew that and, as far as I'm aware, the story had never been out there before.".

The prosecution in the case previously argued that the gloves didn't fit because they shrank from the blood on them and because Simpson was also wearing rubber gloves underneath the evidence gloves.

We were baited into perhaps even having him trying on the gloves in the first place.

Part two of "O.J.: Made in America" airs on ESPN on June 17. »
