Jean,
For the sake of argument, let’s assume that Nicole went into her kitchen; picked out the biggest knife she could find and cut the flower stems. What happened to the disgarded stems? What happened to the flowers? The ones that O.J. gave Sydney http://www.smartfellowspress.com/recital_clothes.htm are not the ones on the narrow coffee counter in the background of the photo in Evidence Dismissed or the ones in the vase on the foreground stove counter where you see the knife in the corner.
If Nicole put the discarded stems in the garbage disposal and cleaned up around the area where she cut them. Why did she leave the knife in such a dangerous position?
Lets assume that she didn’t cut the flower stems on the clean stove counter where the knife was found. The questions remain; why did she clean up everything else and leave the knife on the counter – with the tip of the blade pointing to the edge and where did she put Sydney’s flowers?
Try this little experiment. Take a knife and pretend that you are cutting the stems. You don’t see a container in reach where you can put the flowers so you put them somewhere else. Do you carry the knife with you or do you put it down? You put it down. You have to put it down sometime and somewhere. Which way is the tip of the blade pointing?
The only way it could be pointing toward you is if you held it with the blade facing down as though you intended to make a downward stabbing motion – just as you have seen threatened women do a hundred times in the movies. This is where Fuhrman gets his story of Nicole grabbing the knife to defend herself against O.J. outside of her door dressed in a dark knit cap, dark sweats, wearing leather gloves and looking menacing, but changing her mind and putting it down. That’s the only way it could have gotten where it was photographed unless someone else put it there to tell that story.
Officer Riske’s testimony strongly suggests that the knife wasn’t there when he first entered the kitchen but other testimony confirms that it was there when Fuhrman left and the other detectives entered. –Jasper
