Prien,
The reason I asked my brother to write the forward to Iago was because he spent so many years as a Detroit Homicide investigator. He told me similar stories to the ones you tell and he rejected out of hand the idea the Fuhrman could have committed the murders for a long list of reasons that all big-city cops are familiar with.
Now this is my brother I’m talking about. He knew that I did my homework and that I would not come to him with a story so preposterous as “Fuhrman did it,” without a heck of a lot to back me up. Yet, it was his AUTOMATIC RESPONSE AS A VETERAN COP and EXPERIENCED HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR that held sway. I struck out with him for months. I couldn’t even get him to look at what I had. The fact that I continued to try to show it to him after he told me I was wrong pissed him off.
My big brother was the homicide expert. I was the professional model maker. When I told him about my MFG (Mark Fuhrman Guilty) scenario he expected me to accept his expert answers without realizing that it required me to ignore my own expert answers. When I finally got him to look at the location of Fung’s blood drop markers on Rockingham compared to the official photos, his jaw dropped and his own artistic background kicked in.
He saw the significance of the parked Bronco’s precise attitude and location in a flash and understood in that same flash why the “police” told the story about the rear end sticking so far out. He saw that it took a visual artist to hide the location of the blood drops with the positioning of the cameras and he saw how any why he had been so easy to fool. He was easy to fool BECAUSE he was an expert. The killer knew what homicide experts look for and gave it to them. The killer knew how homicide cops thought. He wasn’t even concerned about obvious contradictions in time, space or evidence because he knew that experience homicide detectives expect some things not to fit.
I know how Mark Fuhrman thinks. The biggest reason that most people don’t score as high as they should on IQ tests is because they answer the “easy” questions to quickly. They get in the habit of discarding the first answer that looks wrong and accepting the first one that looks right. As the tests progresses they see fewer things that look familiar and they find it impossible to know which answer is right. If you don’t do that, you will get in the habit of seeing patterns that will help you with the entire test.
Fuhrman looks at all of the answers, even the goofy ones, and tests all of them against the question before picking the best one (Murder in Brentwood, page 56: “…All evidence is important and you shouldn’t judge it until you’ve collected and analyzed it. At the very least you may then know conclusively that the evidence will not help you.”
That’s how “impossible” things are done all the time. –Jasper
