Yes I do. They thought that they had a solid case against O.J. but they didn't, and the defense took them apart with allegations of evidence tampering and O.J. trying on gloves that "didn't fit" prompting Johnnie Cochran's famous "If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit" statement to the jury. O.J. had obviously been coached to struggle putting on the gloves that were found at the murder scene and they had probably been shrunk by the defense, so the whole trial was a farce.
