Nabbing Criminals using Brainwave Analysis
In a dramatic courtroom demonstration, O. J. Simpson struggled to put on a pair of blood-soaked leather gloves recovered from the murder scene—damning physical evidence of guilt if indeed the gloves were his. “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” defense attorney Johnnie Cochran proclaimed to the jury. Whether Simpson’s failed efforts were theatrics or honest is difficult to judge, but Simpson was unable to slip his hands into the gloves easily and he was acquitted. Questions lingered over whether the blood saturated gloves had stiffened and shrunk, and the fit was further impeded by the rubber gloves Simpson was required to wear underneath the evidence gloves.
