OJ Simpson, NFL star acquitted in 'trial of the century', dies aged 76

OJ Simpson NFL star acquitted in trial of the century dies aged 76
The ex-American football star was controversially acquitted of the murder of his wife and a friend in 1995.

In one of the trial's most memorable moments, prosecutors asked Simpson to put on a pair of blood-stained gloves allegedly found at the scene of the murder, but Simpson struggled to fit his hands into them. It led to one of Simpson's lawyers, Johnnie Cochrane, telling the jury in his closing arguments: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
