>>>Haha, no that would be Johnny Cochran!

>>Could have been, although I suspect Cochran picked it up from Jesse. Jess has been around Chicago forever (lucky us) and I can tell you he has been doing that rhyming thing since Hitler was a corporal.

>>Even all these years later I am amazed that Marcia Clark let Cochran get away with that glove act. It was a leather glove that had been sitting around soaked in blood for for a year or more. What happens to leather when it gets wet? Duh, it shrinks. AND O.J. was allowed to try it on himself, making a big show of it being too small. What a farce. It helped the man get away with murder.

>Yep, she blew it, first by letting him try the glove on, and second by not demonstrating what happens to leather when it gets wet. Even so, karma has a way of leveling the playing field, doesn't it? OJ is where he should be!

Not quite.
