Read the following story and tell me if this reminds you of the DA's and Plaintiffs going way, way out of their ways to admit Nicole and Ron were more then just say "Hi" friends?
I don't know what Fuhrman's lawyers says the rumor that Fuhrman and Nicole are "vicious lies".
Cop-Nicole Story Denied By Shirley E. Perlman
The lawyer for Mark Fuhrman, a homicide detective whose credibility has been under attack by O.J. Simpson's defense team, yesterday issued a statement vehemently denying recent allegations that Fuhrman and Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson were friends.
Ringed by television cameras at a hastily called news conference, the lawyer, Robert Tourtelot, said a report aired by the tabloid television show "A Current Affair" Wednesday night was an "absolute, vicious and malicious lie."
Tourtelot issued the denials on the eve of a hearing on a prosecution motion to bar the jury from hearing defense allegations suggesting that Fuhrman is a racist who was capable of planting key evidence against Simpson.
Fuhrman found the bloody leather glove on Simpson's estate, key evidence in his trial on charges of murdering Nicole Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12.
Simpson's lawyers have sought to impeach Fuhrman's credibility with evidence that he was biased against minorities. The evidence includes 1983 records in which Fuhrman allegedly spoke disparagingly about blacks, negative remarks about inter-racial marriage he allegedly made in 1985 or 1986, and allegations by Simpson's lawyers that he planted evidence against a black suspect in 1988. Furhman was among officers who went to the Simpsons' home in 1985 to investigate a complaint of domestic violence.
Tourtelot said reports that Fuhrman often had coffee with murder victim Nicole Simpson and sometimes stopped by her house were false. Tourtelot appeared with an investigator hired by Fuhrman, Anthony Pellicano.
He said Pellicano investigated the allegations that there was a relationship and found them to be false. He also said there was no substance to the charge that Fuhrman planted evidence.
Earlier in the case, a Los Angeles man told authorities that Pellicano had been outside Nicole Simpson's home at the time of the murders and had seen two suspects fleeing. Pellicano, who was a security consultant for Michael Jackson, a client of Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran, denied the allegation.
