It was sick and let a murderer go free and good for them for doing it. Sick as it was it is legal and it matters to follow the law. I hated him going free but it is what was in that case right.

Since the tapes of Furhman's interview were played in court and revealed that, despite his previous denial, he had in fact used the "n" word many times and admitted to instances of planting false evidence in order to convict a suspect, how can you possibly say that his "comments did no such thing?"
The tapes certainly didn't portray him as a model of racial tolerance. |

They had nothing to do with evidence is my point.

Fuhrman having to take the Fifth on having planted false evidence was even more of a blow IMO.

Not to be overly technical, but the tapes of Fuhrman's comments WERE evidence-- for the defense.
Once he stated under oath that he never used the "n" word, the door was opened to introduce evidence that contradicted his testimony and, thus, his veracity. If the jury believed he lied under oath they could then reasonably conclude that his other testimony was suspect as well. (In jury instructions that is known as "false in one, false in all.") |

I should have specified "physical" evidence

The tapes themselves WERE physical evidence. Same as a handwritten document would have been.

And if the investigators hadn't cast doubt on all of their DNA evidence by mishandling it, it would have been powerful evidence to convict Simpson. Don't get me wrong, Al. I totally believe that OJ was guilty. The problem was that the prosecution, through its own ineptitude, failed to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. |

But the sad fact is that cases are investigated like that every day in every county in America and around the world. But there is not a team who gets crazy about every word spoken or written down. Fact is they were not really a dream team as they got lucky. Once the racial stuff got in it was over. The biggest mistake if you ask me was changing the location. That was most definitely not a jury of his peers. It was the beginning of the end if you ask me.

I agree. The case should have been tried in Santa Monica where the crime took place. With a death penalty qualified jury.
Regarding the DNA evidence- one of the lab technicians testified that she'd been carrying it around in her pocket for a few days. I wouldn't underestimate the skills of the "dream team" though. Bailey, for example, knew exactly where he was going and what would result from his cross examination of Fuhrman. And they were FAR quicker on their feet than the prosecution was. They also stuck to the fundamental rule of cross examination - never ask a question or ask for a demonstration when you don't already know the answer or what the result will be. Prosecutor Dardin thoroughly blew that basic rule when he asked Simpson to try on the bloody glove. And, I agree, that WAS an extremely lucky break for the defense, who skillfully capitalized on it to the max. In fact, it might be said that Johnny Corchoran's line, "If it doesn't fit, you must aquit," will go down as one of the most memorable and effective things ever said in a courtroom. |

By then it was over. They got lucky. Tricking Furman was the equivalent of out witing a squirrel. Not really brilliant.
The glove thing was just dumb.
