英语词汇if the glove doesn’t fit you must acquit的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit. A little ditty often attributed to Johnny Cochran (1938–2005), one of the lawyers defending O. J. Simpson in his 1994 murder trial. A bloody glove had been found at the Simpson house and the prosecutor asked Simpson to see if it fit him. “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” Cochran told the jury as Simpson tried unsuc- cessfully to pull it on. Though another member of the “Dream Team,” Gerald Uelman, apparently suggested the rhyme, Coch- ran later wrote: “It’s the line that eventually will be cited by Bar- lett’s Familiar Quotations, the line endlessly quoted to me by people, the line by which I’ll be remembered, and I suspect it will probably be my epitaph.”
