O.J. TRIAL SUIT AS REAL AS HIS BRUNO MAGLIS

description

The suit that O.J. Simpson wore on the day of his murder acquittal is on sale for $25,000 — and the former gridiron great is lying when he claims it’s fake, say sources.

“I challenge O.J. to allow a DNA test on the clothing — he cut himself shaving that morning and spots of blood got on his clothes,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.

When the trial ended in a not-guilty verdict in 1995, Simpson gave the tan suit, plus his white courtroom shirt and vividly patterned tie, to his then sports agent, Mike Gilbert.

“It was a gift of gratitude — Gilbert helped him make millions of dollars while he was in jail awaiting trial by selling autographed O.J. memorabilia,” said the insider. “That’s how Simpson paid his high-priced legal team.”

Gilbert held on to the historic clothing until recently, when he sold it to sports memorabilia dealer Bruce Fromong.

After news broke that Fromong had the suit on the market for $25,000, he learned that an angry Simpson was threatening to go on television and deny its authenticity.

Of course, the last time O.J. disavowed ownership of an article of clothing, he denied owning a pair of Bruno Magli shoes, the same kind worn by the killer of his ex-wife Nicole and Ron Goldman.

The ENQUIRER then published a photo of O.J. wearing the shoes.
