That is, between lead prosecutors Marcia Clark and Chris Darden.

Its an essential truth even if its not a literal truth.

The essential truth, as far as the record is concerned, remains intact.

NEXT: The narrative might be a little loose, but the gloves are super tight.
Whether Clark and Darden hooked up behind closed doors, well never know.
Whats important to realize is that we wanted it to be true.
Imagine if fan fiction were as popular in 1995 as it is now.
And thats whereThe People v. O.J.
Simpsonhas been so judicious.
Amid the circus fiasco that was the O.J.
trial, perhaps we wish-desired that something tender and human could come from it.
Intriguingly, the almost-intimacy portrayed between Clark and Darden serves parallel narrative purposes.
One is still skeptical after the demonstration.
As Kardashian told Barbara Walters in 1996,he no longer believed that Simpson was not guilty.
And yet, what was he doing with that bag?
Theres also no background that I can find for suggesting the opening scene here ever occurred.
We see Alan Dershowitz watching Cochran on TV along with a small group of Harvard students.
One of Dershowitzs students, years before the O.J.
trial, was Jeffrey Toobin.
Dershowitz, however, was present at the defense table on the day of the gloves demonstration.
Or the testing and analysis of the gloves had caused them to shrink.
Or the latex gloves that Simpson was wearing underneath created an extra layer.
But the damage had been done.
The jurors knew it and so did Marcia Clark.
According to Toobins book, she left the courthouse that evening without speaking to Darden.
Something, it seems, was broken that day and could not be put back together again.
