ROGER COSSACK, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: The fascination of the O.J. Simpson trial wasn't simply, of course, just about a man who allegedly murdered his wife, but it had to do with who he was and how he fit into the structure of our society. For me, there's a couple of different -- you know, there's the obvious of Simpson standing before the jury and trying on the glove that didn't fit. And I thought they'd never ask him to do that. No lawyer could ever be so wrong as to ask someone to put on a glove that they don't know whether or not it fits, because if, exactly what happens...</s>JOHNNIE COCHRAN, SIMPSON ATTORNEY: If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.</s>COSSACK: ... your case goes down the drain. Another moment that I will never forget in that is Barry Scheck's cross-examination of Dennis Fung, the criminalist.</s>BARRY SCHECK, SIMPSON ATTORNEY: There's a box that has times on it, right?</s>COSSACK: He literally began to tear apart the collection of evidence.</s>SCHECK: And you didn't fill out any times for the collection of any of these pieces of evidence, did you?</s>DENNIS FUNG, CRIMINALIST, LAPD: They were not filled in.</s>SCHECK: Have I to explore with you the little knowledge that you have.</s>COSSACK: And I remember at time, thinking you myself: You know, this case is about over.</s>UNIDENTIFIED JUROR MEMBER: We, the jury, in the above entitled action find the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder.</s>COSSACK: It wasn't surpriseing that he was acquitted or, at the very least, there would have been a hung jury.
