He couldn't put on the glove because it was planted by the police, who were convinced of his guilt but wanted more evidence. The jury decided there was insufficient evidence.

On the other hand, while circumstantial evidence leads a lot of people to conclude his guilt, I have little respect for those who say "Of course he did it!" You know this for a fact? How? I stick with the jury's decision.

Likewise, this jury could have been reacting to the previous decision, but I don't know that, and neither does anyone else. They decided, and unless evidence is shown to warrant a retrial I'll stand by their decision.
