JUNE 16 - The prosecution scrambled to recover Friday after asking O.J.
Simpson to try on the infamous bloody gloves Thursday and they didn't fit.
Glove designer Richard Rubin testified that leather gloves shrink when
exposed to liquid.

Christopher Darden - the same prosecutor whose strategy backfired when he
asked Simpson to try on the gloves - elicited testimony that normal
exposure would cause two to five percent shrinkage.

Rubin is a former vice president of Aris Isotoner, the company that
manufactured the right-handed glove found on Simpson's estate and the
left-handed glove found outside Nicole Brown Simpson's condominium after
she and Ronald Goldman were murdered.

Rubin told the court that if such gloves were severely saturated they
could shrink 15 percent.

Over a pair of latex gloves, Rubin tried on the right-handed glove. Though
the glove was marked extra-large, Rubin said it had shrunk to "a little
bit about average of a large but well below an extra-large."

Under cross-examination, Johnnie Cochran informed Rubin that the glove
absorbed only three cubic centimeters of blood, an amount too small to
have an effect upon the glove, Rubin said.

Rubin was unable at first to put on the left glove because the lining came
out.

With the jury outside the court, Darden asked Judge Lance Ito for
permission to question Rubin about the lining to find out if there was
anything blocking the fingers.

Defense lawyer Robert Shapiro argued that he had tried on the gloves and
there were no impediments. He also said that he witnessed a defense expert
dislodge the lining.

After Rubin was allowed to replace the lining he said the glove had shrunk
to between a large and extra-large.
