Kari, Let me start my reply by reposting parts of my pervious message with some typo corrections and different passages in bold type to respond to what you said about Fuhrman’s ability to influence the media…. … Fuhrman is an artist. He knows the importance of getting the proportions right. Yet, he makes a drawing that is deliberately and unnecessarily out of proportion – in all the right places to make the truth seem like a fairytale at worst and just another theory at best. If you assume, purely for the sake of argument, that Fuhrman could be the killer, you have to ask yourself what COULD he have done to hide it and to implicate O.J. at the same time. WHAT YOU GET EVERY TIME ARE THE THINGS WE KNOW HE DID IN ADDITION TO A SLEW OF THINGS HE COULD HAVE DONE BECAUSE HE PUT HIMSELF IN A POISON TO DO THEM. …When we looked at the people who could have made the blood sample switch in the lab what detectives made the list? WHEN YOU DISCOVERED THE LINK BETWEEN THE 911 TAPES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ERASED BUT WEREN’T, AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAD A DEFINITE LINK TO THE OFFICE THAT PRESERVED THEM, WHO DID YOU FIND? You found Mark Fuhrman. The very first radio interview I did in 1995 was with the news director of NPR’s local affiliate in Detroit. He gave me a valuable tip on the news media that anyone can use IF THEY CAN PUT THEMSELVES IN A POSITION to do it. The news business operates with a 24-hour mentality. It has a broad pool of information with an amazingly shallow depth. The media rely on the same experts, INSIDERS and witnesses to big events to tell them everything they need to put together “a good show.” The more complicated a story the more corners they cut to simplify it. Whenever they can use a stereotype they do because stereotypes put across a bunch of messages quickly. That’s why Robert Blake is being made to look so much like O.J.; it saves a heap of time and complicated explanations. Once the media have committed themselves to a particular position and a standard library of references they rarely change. The media did nothing different in the O.J. case or the Blake case than they always do. All Fuhrman had to do was put himself in a position to take advantage of it. He did that at every possible turn beginning with the “friends” he made in 1985 and the letter he wrote to the city attorney in ’89. The map of O.J.’s estate that they relied on for their analysis of events was the same in ever critical (and erroneous) respect as the one Fuhrman drew. The 911 tapes that the media played after the ’94 murders came from the city attorney’s office where Fuhrman had a friend. Once O.J.’s image as a spouse-abuser became firmly established and the media learned about the bloody gloves, the “hastily parked Bronco,” the blood trail from “Bundy to Rockingham” and blood “inside of the Bronco,” his goose was cooked. Who was the detective wearing the chef’s hat? Mark Fuhrman. --Jasper
