Rovaan,
I was surprised that Dick didn't pick up on the significance of the Bronco's parking angle - until I saw how committed he was to Jill's account of her encounter with the Bronco. Jill and the parking angle of the Bronco tell mutually exclusive stories.
This is not a neutral point. It's mostly a matter of simple geometry, basic drafting techniques and limited options. You don't need a bunch of numbers to work this out but you do have to get the sale and proportions right. Dick should have no trouble with that. I worked it out when I still had doubts about O.J.'s alibi and I hadn't yet learned that the blood drops at the gate were coming out instead of going in. This was uncontestable proof that O.J. was telling the truth about driving it from his driveway. One degree off in either direction or the Bronco farther forward or back gives you a different story.
O.J. could not have pulled it into that space parallel to the curb or any closer to it unless he drove straight in from Rockingham or turned right from the cub, backed up past the driveway and drove forward again. Two degrees is such a small deviation from zero that it would have made no sense to back up and pull straight in.
To get a deviation of 3-degrees or more the Bronco would have had to make a wider arc from the driveway to the street and the Bronco would have been farther forward. That much deviation with the Bronco closer to the driveway would have meant that it definitely came from the street, not the driveway. No deviation could also have meant that it came from the street instead of the driveway. Given the Bronco's exact location, its wheelbase, the width of the tires, the width of the driveway and the ACUTE angel of the driveway to the street there is only one reasonable answer to how it got there with a 2-degree deviation. It was last driven there from the driveway. O.J. could not have left his estate in the Bronco that night and returned to park it just that way unless he did it VERY carefully and got VERY lucky.
The killer had twenty minutes to work with on Bundy allowing for a five minute cushion on both ends (10:25 to 10:55) to avoid the dog walkers who passed by Nicole's condo like clockwork (Animations/Dog Walkers 1). He would have required a lookout on Bundy near Gorham to make sure that Heidstra or Schwab were off schedule or someone else walked by. Nicole was on the phone with her mother until 10:28. A couple walked by the condo a few minutes later and ALL of the hard evidence from independent sources for when they walked by without seeing, hearing or smelling anything unusual is on their side.
The timeline for the killings cannot be flexible no matter who the killer was. It cannot be a matter of conjecture. The murders actually happened at a given place with a given start time and end time. It was either planned or it wasn't. If it wasn't planned the killer was incredibly lucky not to have been seen coming or going. If it was planned the killer would have taken care not to expose himself or his vehicle to observation for more time than necessary. The only person with the time (false alibi), skills, contacts, resources, intelligence and temperament to pull it all off and to frame O.J. Simpson was Mark Fuhrman - who argued for a flexible timeline.
Some evidence that Fuhrman "found" on Rockingham could not have gotten there if the killings had occurred five minutes away before 10:30. Some of it could have gotten there only if the murders had been committed later. The stick and the glove lie on different timelines. That's a physical impossibility.
What does the airplane schedule tells us about Karpf? Where does he really fit in? --Jasper
