Christopher Darden

Christopher Allen Darden (Born April 7, 1956) is an American lawyer and fifteen-year veteran of the LA County District Attorney's office and an associate Professor of Law. He was a prosecuting attorney in the famous murder trial of O. J. Simpson along with Marcia Clark. Seemingly overwhelmed by the defense team, and often fumbling objections and the introduction of evidence, Darden may have been intimidated by Cochran, a significant figure in the African-American community. Despite the fact that Darden's abilities during the trial increased, he received criticism during the trial from legal observers. His worst blunder may have been his request that Simpson try on the "bloody gloves," which seemed not to fit.
