I can’t believe that you deliberately took that problem-solving passage out of context or that your missed the point, which you proceeded to articulate with a Fuhrman-neutral twist. I made that very point about FUHRMAN in Iago. My head is still spinning…
This is FUHRMAN’S problem-solving approach (and mine, which is why I recognized it). As far as I have been able to determine only one person in every two thousand or so actually uses it. That’s the key to making it a powerful tool of deception. Most people go for the BIG evidence and either play down or ignore the “little stuff” unless it helps them support the big stuff. Fuhrman had to understand that approach to articulate HIS approach as well as he did. You had to miss it to say what you did about Fuhrman AND the other detectives. In this crucial respect Fuhrman stands alone.
[Come on Jasper, that's the only problem solving approach. Evidence first, conclusions later.]
[What I was struck by is that in acknowledging that was the proper approach, Fuhrman was telling that he knew how evidence should be handled properly, and that their failure to proceed that way was deliberate.]
[You're also incorrect that detectives simply did not see things were wrong and just looked at the evidence that was presented. Lange knew damn well he was lying when he incorectly identfied the rear gate before the grand jury, and especially at the prelim. The questioning was also very carefully staged to perjury proof him from the deception he committed when he falsely identified the front for the rear gage.
The fact is that the blood flows at Bundy are TOTALY WRONG, and every homicide detective would instantly know it. It was, in fact pointed out to me specifically by an NYPD homicide detective. It was confirmed by four others.
The homicie detective who first looked at the pictures of the Bundy front walkway for about a minute suddenly told me what was wrong. "Andy, this can't be. If blood flows, it can't poool, and if blood pools, it can't flow. Here it's doing both. That can't be."
Blood simply CANNOT flow crosswise and lengthwise over a plane surface. Can't happen.
I knew there was something wrong with the blood flows, but could never put my finger on it quite like that. Once he defined it, it was obvious.
It was from looking in war photographs showing bodies that initially convinced me there was something wrong. I have since found a great photo of a soldier killed from a wound that must have been to the throat and resulted in a great deal of bleeding. The blood flows, but it sure does not pool. And it flows like nothing that is visible on the Bundy walkway.
