"Rose,

In my MFG scenario there had to be thee people to keep tabs on the movements and conversations of Ron, Nicole, the limo driver and O.J. All three had to be experienced in covert surveillance. They had to know each other well. They had to be able to communicate by cell phone, and they had to fit the evidence on Bundy and Rockingham.

"Those are a lot of requirements but someone had to meet them if my MFG scenario was correct."

But if it is NOT correct than all those 'requirments' go out the window, right?

"For specific assignments the requirements get even more stringent. There was also an uncontrollable element of risk. The plan therefore had to be flexible enough to adjust for unforeseen events (like O.J.’s cut finger and Kato’s walk) as they occurred."

If it the killers' plan that had to be that flexible, or your theory of the killers' plan?

"To minimize the risks on Rockingham, the watcher had to be someone who could give an innocent explanation for his presence if he was observed. Ideally, he would have looked enough like O.J. in passing (height, build, coloration) to be mistaken for O.J. by people in passing cars and distant dog-walkers. He had to have a good working knowledge of the Rockingham layout and no alibi for 10:00 to 11:15. Only one man had ALL of these characteristics, Ron Shipp. "

could there have been any other large Black men who were acquaintances of OJ who could fit that description?

"Allan Park did not notice the Bronco but he did notice an unidentified vehicle parked south of the Rockingham driveway."

he also did not notice Kaelin's Datsun north of the Ashford gate, which definitely was there, and noticed a second car inside the Rockingham gate, which definitely was not. Even granting that Park's obsevation was accurate, there are any number of explanation for such a car in such a position, such as a visitor to one of OJ's neighbors.

"The Rockingham observer had to know where O.J. kept the spare key for the Bronco...."

Why? Did the conspirators actually use the Bronco in the crime, or merely need access to the front compartment to plant the blood stains? If only the latter, then a slim-jim would do; getting in without a key would be no problem for experienced police.

"Vannatter found the Bronco’s interior light bulb under the seat and the spare key was missing when Kato went to the kitchen drawer where O.J. kept it for him, Gigi or Arnelle to drive when he was away (there is no evidence, however, that Kato actually drove it on the 12th or any other time)."

On the contrary, there is absolute proof that he drove it at least once, though briefly, during the October, '93 incident at Gretna Green. This is because he testified to doing so in order to move it out of blocking traffic.

There is, furthermore, strong evidence that he drove it for errand-running between Bundy and Rockingham for the simple reason that these errands often linvolved carrying the kids and dogs, and the only vehicles he could have used were her own tiny Datsun or the Bronco. Also the fact that OJ specifvically mentions "Kato" as someone who might have driven it while he, OJ, was out of town, at least indicates he did so -- else, why bother mentioning him at all? For details and citations in transcripts and Eliot's book, see my web site.

"Vannatter interpreted the unscrewing of the light bulb in the Bronco as an indication that O.J. knew that surveillance trick (to insure that the light didn’t come on when he was entering and exiting the vehicle) from cop roles he played in the movies. Shipp would have known about it from his experience as an LAPD cop. Anyone else would have thought it would be sufficient to simply turn the switch off."

There are any number of reason for a car's ceiling light to be missing. My expeerience is, the ceiling light is one of the first appliances to fail, followed by the dashboard clock. For instance, loading cargo into the back seat often results in bumping and breaking or dislodging the light. If the bulb burned out, then it's possible someone tried to fix it or replace it, but could not.

"The third man, the killer, had to be in a poison to follow the limo from the Town and Country on the border of Torrance and Redondo Beach north on the San Diego Freeway to Brentwood. Fuhrman lived in Redondo Beach less than ten minutes away from Town and Country. He took the San Diego Freeway to work every day. –Jasper "

or a hit man from New York got a motel rom in the San Fernando Valley and drove to Torrance just before Park went off to pick up OJ.

Or anything else.

Why the hell fuihrman's home location is significant in this context is beyond me.
