Richard Minsky bound a copy of The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson with a black leather, left handed glove stained red to resemble blood on the fingertips. The first and last pages contain an illustration of Simpson putting on the glove at his trial. The defense played this as a "race card" that Minsky designed to fit the slogan" If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." The Sixth Amendment states, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed..."Minsky notes that his was the most public trial in history, with many questions about the jury, witnesses and defense counsel. It occupied the television networks day and night. Before the trial began, the author wrote in The New Yorker that the defense would play the "race card" and claim Mark Fuhrman was a racist who was framing Simpson because he was black. This binding is black leather, with doublures (inside cover) and hinge of the same leather.A black leather glove is on the cover, and acrylic paint. The title is foil stamped in P. T. Barnum, a typeface chosen because of the circus-like environment of the trial. The endpaper (inset) represents "The Race Card." The prosecution made a major error by having the accused try on the bloodstained black leather glove, which had shrunk, with an additional latex glove to prevent biocontamination. Simpson made a show of not being able to get it on. The defense line was "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."According to an interview of Richard Minsky by Bob Andelman on http://vimeo.com/36516102, only nine copies of this book object were produced even though 25 copies were planned. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
