Yeah, a “typographical error”… somebody accidentally hit the wrong keys five times.
I was living in L.A. at the time of the whole $h!+show and had my weekend plans delayed by the Bronco chase.
It was a Friday night, and done with work we had a 200 mile drive to get up to a mountain cabin up the road from Kernville for the weekend. My wife and I had the van packed and were getting ready to load the cubs and head out when the phone rang– it was my older brother in Ohio who told me to turn on the TV.
There it was, heading up and blocking the 405, the freeway we had to take to head north. There was nothing to do but watch events unfold and wait for things to clear out.
When we finally did we could see the helicopters circling in the sky above his Brentwood digs as we headed up the freeway with four hours still to go…
Someone with whom I was quie close at the time jus happened to work as a court reporter, and was one of the gaggle of such technicians during the Oh Jay trial. This person heard and wrote down everything heard in the entire proceeding. This person’s personal opinion of the whole debacle was that he most certainly did commit the two murders with which he had been charged, but also that the prosecution simply did not present sufficient evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt he was guilty as charged, and did in fact commit the murders. This reporter opined to me privately that the gloves appeared to have been a stupid plant , a desparate attempt to “find” some solidly incriminating evidence. This bit of ill-fitting stage dressing had perpetrators sufficiently intelligent and diligent to have contributed a pair of gloves that actually FIT the accused, then “dressed” them as they did the ill-fitting pair.
