The Ada Lovelace Award is named in honor of the first computer programmer, Augusta Ada Byron Lovelace, whose writings developed the idea of programming and explained the operation and theory of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. The award is given to individuals who have excelled in either (or both) of two areas: 1.
There are a few reasons that the glove did not fit. 1.) the glove shrunk a bit due to dried blood. 2.) O.J. hand was spread further than would normally be required to put a glove on it. 3.) O.J. was, at the time he was trying on the glove wearing a latex glove making it more difficult for the glove to fit properly. Was O.J. guilty ? well the jury said no, my opinion would not change anything.
And Marcia Clark offered her own personal recollection of the moment in a recent interview, which more or less gibes with the version we see in The People vs. O.J.: 1  We went to sidebar and the judge suggested that Simpson try on the glove. And I objected, on the record. I said, No! No! It's not a proper experiment. The latex will screw up the fit. And Chris said, Yeah, I want to do it. And then we step aside and had the biggest fight we've ever had about 10 feet away from the court reporter.
