Jean,
I forgot to mention that you will see this happening again and again in the first half of Iago where I was still struggling with the flaws I thought I had in the idea that Mark Fuhrman could have been the killer. I didn't know his shoe size. I didn't know that he still had the 1980 SUV he drove in 1986. I didn't know he lived south of Bundy and Dorothy, that his house was less than ten minutes away from Town and Country Limosine and that he took the same route to work that Alan Park took to Rockingham (a key part of my MFG scenaro was that someone had to keep an eye on the limo). My biggest problem was that I thought Fuhrman had an alibi. Knowing what I did about him, I could not conceive of him planning the killing and the framing then leaving the actual killing to someone else. By the same token, If he did plan the killing, he had to create the appearance of an alibi. So, to add to the list of conditions that had to be satisfied if my MFG secnaro was essentally correct was a false alibi for a false timeline and a real one. These were only some of the unanswered questions that had to fit a Mark Fuhrman Guilty scenario. They could not be stretched to fit. Their importance could not be minimized or ignored. They either existed or they didn't.
Sometimes a key insight would come from Peggy. Other times it would be Pat, Trille, Paula, Sandra or Dianne. The OJG's provided some of them without realizing it. Then along came Maggie and Phil Rabne. They were magnificent. I got some of my best insights on the Court TV Board from Gary Carrier and two other heroes of mine who didn't joint the e-mail group, a man named Jamal and a woman named Hargrove. All of these people saw important things I didn't. Here, it has been nearly everyone who has posted on these boards. I couldn't have even gotten started here without the insights and observations of Kari, Bob and Sidney.
In the Random Factor, the heroes aren't necessarily who you think they are. You never know who is going to step up to the plate and get a big hit or drive in the winning run. That IS "the random factor." --Jasper.
