Jean,
In a post you made last month that I wasn't able to get back to, you wrote:
"Let me try this again. In Michael Baden's book is the BM shoe print and the one on the envelope These pictures could have been some place else, but if you have not seen them take a look. Especially Jasper with you artists eye. Something is wrong with this picture. HE says it is the envelope but it does not look like an envelope. I can't figure out what this is. And then the shoe print is nutty. The long ruler is at the short part of the foot and visa versa. It's Rockahr's ruler. (Hint: go to library and copy the picture) Lot cheaper. And it looks like the envelope is much bigger than the glove. And I am probably confused here and don't have the pictures. But wasn't there a lab box in the picture of Fuhrman pointing to the glove. Now how did it get there? They had not shown up there yet."
---------------------------------------------------------- I haven't seen the pictures in Baden's book that you're talking about but I can say some things about photo interpretation in general that may be of help.
When an object is photographed in just the right context it can look radically different from what you would see if you were able to observe it directly. For example, in a photo where a person is supposed to be fifty feet tall, you can create that illusion simply by making everything around him proportionately smaller. If you want to make a man who is standing straight look like he is leaning a few degrees clockwise all you need is a background with strong vertical lines that tilt counterclockwise. A foreground object with strong horizontal lines that tilt counterclockwise the same number of degrees as the background makes the illusion much harder to detect. If you blur the edges or gradually straighten the lines as they approach the edges you'd have to know the trick to see what's really going on.
Some of these illusions occur in nature, which is why you need a standard of measure to know what you're looking at. The rulers on the Bundy murder scene represent a useful standard. The ones used by Dr. Lee and the LAPD are all exactly six inches long from end to end and squared off on the ends so that they can be put together to make the equivalent of on twelve inch ruler. So, when you look at the photos with the rulers you know that you are looking at either one six inch ruler or two six inch rulers butted together. You can therefore measure everything proportionate to the rulers in the photo. It's the only way you can make an accurate measurement unless the photo is taken from straight overhead.
About the picture of Fuhrman pointing to the glove…
What you see on the cover of Iago, in the Appendix and in the second Bundy animation is all there is. All of these photos give a representation of every scrap of hard evidence against O.J. and a preview of Fuhrman's big discoveries at Rockingham. They give you a black sock inside of a size 12 shoe (Fuhrman's). They give you the cap with a black man's hair, blood drops that could belong to the killer, a bloody glove with a black man's limb hair and fibers from the Bronco, envelop containing Juditha's glasses and a bloody heel print.
Goldman's keys were found in one place. His beeper was found somewhere else (they don't implicate O.J.). There was no lab box. There was only evidence implicating O.J. (the heel print in Nicole's brand, the knit cap from The Naked Gun, "Nicole's" glove), a bleeding killer (blood drops near glove) and the story of Goldman being in the wrong place at the wrong time (the glasses in the envelope). Using the number 10 envelope (4 1/8 inches by 9 1/2 inches) you can work out the size of the area just below Goldman' boot containing all of that incriminating evidence. ALL of it is within an 8" radius of Fuhrman's hand.
Could that small constellation of evidence have ended up where it was photographed by chance? No way in hell. But like the "perfectly posed" body of Nicole, the perfectly posed photo of Fuhrman pointing at the glove, the convenient flow a blood from Nicole's neck (which would have covered shoeprints that weren't supposed to be there), it would take the eye of an artist to see it. Mark Fuhrman just happened to be an artist. --Jasper
