You need to see the Bodziak diagram, available on Dick Wagner's site, from which MF's diagram is taken.
Actually, MF's book diagram shows the front door in the wrong position.
More importantly, MF only shows the RIGHT footprints in the VBodziam diagram.
Now, why would he do this? Because if he had reproduced the whole Bodziak diagram, he and his readers would see that the blood drops in the diagram were IN BETWEEN the footprints, and so much of the case against OJ was derived from the idea that those drops were TO THE LEFT of the foot prints -- WHICH THEY WERE NOT -- and that OJ was found to have cuts on his LEFT hand. (Actually, if OJ had been found with cuts on his RIGHT hand, the cops would have said the blood drops were to the RIGHT of the prints. If OJ had had no visible cuts anywhere, God knows what they would have said, but you can be sure they would have said something.)
However, the footprints did, in fact, fade out about halfway between the murder scene and the back gate. At least MF was not deceptive on that point.
