British Prime Minister Boris Johnson cracked a misguided gag about Trial of the Century defendant O.J. Simpson on Wednesday.

I feel like O.J. Simpson, Johnson joked as he struggled to put on a protective glove during a visit to a COVID-19 vaccination center in Wales.

(Watch the video above).

Johnsons quip referenced a decisive moment in Simpsons trial for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, for which he was ultimately found not guilty by a jury.

At one point in the monthslong televised proceedings, Simpsons hand didnt appear to fit a bloody leather glove found at his home. Defense attorneys argued Simpson, therefore, could not have been the killer. Simpson was later declared liable in civil court.
