If I provide a link to information once, I don't provide it over and over again if I use the same quotes again.
Given the terrible memory of some people on the board, maybe I should re-post every single source, every single time.
Then again, the response I usually get is that the facts are "fake" (or some variation thereof), showing that the person never looked at the source anyway.
This post suggests you never looked at the source, either.
Did you?
Or did you reads it and forget?

The gloves were a higher-end cashmere-lined leather driving glove known as the Aris Light. Rubin testified they are 30% lighter than regular driving gloves.
He identified them with 100% certainty from a picture of OJ wearing the same model glove while sportscasting.
The same model that sold a grand total of 200-240 pair across all Bloomingdales stores that year.
Nicole bought a pair on December 18, 1990.
These are not mechanics gloves. These are not roping gloves. These are not asphalting gloves. These are not dirt biking gloves. These are not skiing gloves. These are not snowboarding gloves. These are not snow shoveling gloves.
They are a men's "dress" glove.
The leather is supple due to oils used in processing. What happens if the glove gets wet?
MR. RUBIN: What happens when gloves get wet, the water or whatever it is that actually wets the glove absorbs small amounts of the fat liquor which creates shrinkage.
Rubin very clearly stated they were not shrink-proof:
MR. COCHRAN: All right. And those gloves, when they were made between the period we talked about, 1982 to 1992, were they in some way shrink-proof?
MR. RUBIN: No.
MR. COCHRAN: Did they have some kind of treatment to keep them from shrinking?
MR. RUBIN: No.
MR. COCHRAN: The manufacturer? Not at all?
MR. RUBIN: Not at all.
Would you expect a (?)$150 pair of lightweight, fine leather driving gloves to be the same as a pair of all-weather motorcycling glove, especially when the guy who "responsible for the design, manufacturing, production, raw material, sales and marketing of all men's gloves." testified they were NOT made to be shrink-proof, and testified that the gloves presented in the hearing had shrunk by as much as 15%?
Since Rubin obviously knows little about leather, or leather gloves, can you provide YOUR explanation of why the glove that shrank from an XL to an L, and had a cashmere lining "dislodged" may not have easily slid on to OJ's latex-gloved hand?
Watch the video of him trying the glove on. Look closely at the position of his thumb.
Now, go put on a pair of loose surgical gloves, then try to squeeze your hand in a cashmere-lined driving glove that is one size smaller than you wear, while keeping your thumb "flat" instead of tucked like you normally would to put on ANY glove. Genuinely try it out.
Hell, do exactly that with your USUAL cashmere (or any lining)-lined gloves. Can you do it? Probably, with some effort.
But, be 100% honest and tell me you couldn't make it look like it's impossible.
"If your cotton Metallica tee shirt that shrank a full size from washing and drying on hot no longer fits, you must acquit".

Trump thread... not OJ thread. Not glove thread. Not Rob's thread.
