Prosecutor claims O.J. defense tampered with gloves

CALIFORNIA — New allegations are arising about the gloves that some experts said led to O.J. Simpson's acquittal.

Simpson struggled to fit his hands into blood soaked gloves in court 17 years ago.

Prosecutors had argued that he wore them during the murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

The prosecutor is claiming the defense tampered with the gloves.

"What I think happened is that the defense manipulated that glove so that it did not appear to look as if it fit," said former prosecutor Christopher Darden. 

He said the defense tore the glove's lining so that Simpson's fingers would get stuck.

The question now is whether the prosecutor can prove that theory.
