Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who exclaimed during the O.J. Simpson trial, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."?"
On this day in 1995, former football star O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the brutal double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. During closing arguments, Simpson’s defense lawyer Johnnie Cochran uttered the memorable phrase, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," referencing the fact that the glove the prosecutors alleged Simpson wore during the murder did not fit Simpson's hand. The jury took just four hours of deliberation to reach the verdict of not guilty on both murder charges.
