I have spent some time reading the Fuhrman's book on the Moxley murder. He did not convince me that Michael murdered Martha. However, I did get the sense that Michael had been traumatized by seeing Marth's body and the "missing" golf club handle. When Hickman left the body to radio the police and the other guy was in the house, the body was left unattended. Michael was watching the police arrive from his house. His is 15. Seems likely he would have run over to see what was going on. He sees the golf club handle with the name "Ann Skakel" on it and panics. He takes it. Later, it is hidden somewhere or destroyed by Michael or other family members. Maybe Michael thinks his brother, Tommy killed her.
There were some interesting parts in the book.
On page 179, I was somewhat taken back by what Fuhrman wrote. He writes “Meanwhile their investigation wasted valuable time. “It was just like a half-gallon of ice cream on the kitchen counter that was just melting and melting and melting with every passing day,” said someone close to the case. Whoa! Melting ice cream!
On page 400, Fuhrman writes “Back home in Idaho, I got a call from Mickey Sherman, who told him he had been hired to represent Michael in the Moxley case.”
Now why would Sherman call Fuhrman? Fuhrman is the one who pointed the finger at his client and supposedly caused the DA to convene the Grand Jury which indited Michael.
On page 225, there were some times mentioned that gave me quite a start. Fuhrman writes that “At 10:03, Littleton says that Tommy came upstairs and watched ‘The French Connection” on television with him (Apparently Tommy watched the chase scene.)" and then "The chase scene began at 10:23 and ended at 10:32.”
Lets see- Nicole’s watch at 10:03 (same time as OJ’s call). Then there was the time frame from about 10:21 to 10:33 where no barking was heard. Humm…
On another point, Jasper had posted about a golf club that would have been part of the scene if OJ had not cut himself. In Fuhrman’s “Murder in Brentwood” on page 195, he complains about the cops not searching the alleys for tire marks. One wonders if they had found tire tracks, would they have lead to a broken fence with a golf club near by?
