Misc.: Christopher Darden

The name Christopher Darden became well known across the nation during the 1996 murder trial of former football star O.J. Simpson.

Darden was prosecutor in that trial and may be most remembered for having Simpson try on the gloves that had been found with blood on them. It was an especially dramatic moment in that remarkable trial.

Darden, who was 39 at the time of the trial, left his job as an assistant district attorney in Los Angeles and turned to authorship, producing a couple of jointly-authored books; taught law; and in 1999 started his own law firm. He is shown below with Simpson defense attorney Johnnie Cochran.
