Jasper, your facts are wrong and your imagined conspiracy is pure fantasy. Philips and Fuhrman never lied about about Roberts. There was no "omission and commission." They were never asked about Roberts. A witness can only answer the questions asked of them. That's not perjury that's reality. Cochran never cornered Phillips into admitting that he was not Fuhrman's partner. Phillips explained his relationship with Fuhrman. Since 1991 that they were friends and "PARTNERS IN THAT WE WORK THE ROBBERY TABLE TOGETHER" The fact is that Phillips had called Fuhrman just after he was first called about the Bundy murders and he and Fuhrman partnered up that morning by driving to Bundy together. Roberts was never hidden from anyone. The defense could have called him as a witness if they believed his testimony would have helped their case. They never did. Clark had the opportunity to call Roberts only she didn't believe he could offer anything new to her case that hadn't already been talked about by other cops except the possible fingerprint on the gate at Bundy. Clark wrote, "Brad was a real good guy and a fine cop, but he couldn't speak to the important issues of credibility. Brad had arrived at Bundy after Mark had, so he was in no position to attest to the fact that there had been only one glove between the bodies. Other cops who had been on the scene in advance of Fuhrman had already done that. Nor had Brad been with Mark when he'd found the glove at Rockingham. About all Brad could say was that he, too, had seen what appeared to be a fingerprint on the gate at Bundy - not a good gambit since that putative print had never turned up. There was nothing he could offer our case, except to attest to his buddy's being a straight-up guy. Just what we needed for this jury - a character reference from another white cop." bobaugust
