Detective Fuhrman has
been in self-imposed exile from Los Angeles for decades,
he still has never fully escaped the collateral damage of June
12, 1994. The
Murders of Nicole
Brown Simpson
& Ron Goldman by:
Betty Baley A
quiet night in CA ... two people slashed and stabbed to death
at the front entrance to a beautiful condominium in the upscale
neighborhood of Brentwood. A dog "wailing" as he
was roaming the neighborhood with blood matted on his underside
fur and blood on his paws ... barking for someone, anyone to
help his slain mistress. Two small children laying in their
beds asleep with no idea of the horrible murder scene at their
front gate, and the neighborhood going about their normal business
with no knowledge of the evil taking place in their quiet world
that Sunday night. This
is the scene that eventually erupted into the "Trial of The Century" ...
the trial of OJ Simpson for the murders of his ex-wife and
her friend. Did Simpson kill the
mother of his two youngest children and her friend, Ron Goldman
on the evening of June 12, 1994? OJ
was acquitted of the murders in criminal court, the state of
CA was not able to prove that he was guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Is he innocent though?
What made a difference
to the civil jury? Was it the preponderance of reasonable doubt?
Was it a racial verdict? We would like to present
the facts of the case and allow you to make up your own mind.
We will show you evidence,
the crime scene, witnesses as well as experts testimony and conclusions
regarding the facts of this infamous and officially unsolved double
homicide case.
The Victims -- Nicole
Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman Was this a drug
deal gone bad"? Who would take such
measures to kill these two seemingly innocent victims in such a
violent manner? The
Crime Scene -- Bloody footprints and a trail of blood leading
away from the bodies of the victims. Was the crime scene "tainted"
or corrupted by investigators? Was OJ Simpson framed or simply
careless? The
LAPD - An expose of the LAPD
Experts review
and testify to the autopsy reports of the victims. OJ's
alibi -- Exactly what was OJ Simpson doing during the approximate
time of the murders? Slow
speed chase on 405 -- What prompted OJ Simpson to make his
famous
"slow speed chase" in Al Cowlings Bronco days after the
murders? Evidence
Dismissed -- What motivated the prosecution and defense to disregard
so much possible evidence and witness accounts? "If
it doesn't fit, you must acquit" -- The famous words of
Johnnie Cochran, but did the gloves actually fit?
A
killer freed? -- Did the criminal jury asses all of the facts
when arriving at their verdict? What
Americans had in common that day was that we stopped using
the phone for a few minutes: according to AT&T, phone traffic
dropped 60% from 10 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. P. T. In appliance stores
and offices and diners, we dropped everything and watched as
nine blacks, two whites and one Hispanic rendered their verdict: Orenthal
James Simpson was not guilty of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole
Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Why
does OJ Simpson need an "official spokesperson?" It's
because he cannot be trusted with his own reputation and
public persona, or what's left of it.

had to relearn how to be a parent after murder acquittal. May
17, 2001, Simpson advised actor Robert Blake against taking
a lie detector test and added, "As
far as I'm concerned, this man is innocent until a jury comes back
and calls him guilty." A jury in OJ's Florida
road rage trial found him not guilty of battery and auto burglary
in the Dec. 4, 2000, incident. June 7, 2000: OJ
says he'll take a new lie detector test if somebody puts up

Triumph
of Justice: Closing the Book On the Simpson Saga
by Daniel Petrocelli, Peter Knobler Daniel Petrocelli is
the attorney who represented Fred Goldman and his family in their
civil suit against OJ Simpson for the death of their son Ron (he
also coordinated the simultaneous prosecution of suits brought by
Ron's biological mother and the estate of Nicole). Petrocelli
tells how he was able to succeed where Marcia Clark and Chris Darden
failed. "He was handsome, mischievous, wholesome; he was
"the Juice." If I permitted Simpson to endear himself to the jury
on that witness stand, we would lose. If the jury believed Simpson
when he looked them in the eyes and swore on his children that
he did not commit these murders, the case would be over. No amount
of blood, DNA, or physical evidence would overcome that one defining
moment of this trial. I could not allow that to happen. I had read
everything, learned everything, spoken to everyone who would speak
to me, immersed myself in Simpson's life and was ready to take
him on. I had worked obsessively for more than a year to prepare
for this moment ... I had to take control of the examination from
the beginning. I had to control a man who never once in his life
let anyone control him."

Evidence: How DNA is Revolutionizing the Way We Solve Crimes
A
look at how breakthroughs in DNA testing impact on criminal investigations.
From OJ Simpson to the disappearance of Chandra Levy and the reopening
of the Edward De Salvo case, the collection and use of DNA in criminal
investigations has become a controversial and often confusing burden
of proof. Blood Evidence explains the principles and science behind
DNA testing and shows how it has both helped solve some of the most
puzzling criminal cases in recent history and been used to discredit
eyewitness accounts and physical evidence found at the crime scene.
In "Famous

Henry Lee, and Jerry Labriola, MD reexamine the Simpson, Vincent
Foster, JonBenet Ramsey, Lindbergh baby, Sam Sheppard, JFK,
and Sacco-Vanzetti cases. Surprising questions are raised and
