Fuhrman's Notes

True or false: Fuhrman signed his name to his Bundy Notes

False.

Fuhrman's name was added to the notes in his book. It does not appear on the notes shown in court. The following excerpt is from The Smoking Gun 2, Chapter One: Names to Know....

In the upper right corner of the front page is his badge number 21464. He did not write his name and the last two digits appear to have been rushed. More about that later. What I want you to look at now are the subtle "errors" he makes that tell a different story of who the notes were intended for than you might think at first glance. For instance, he was the only person working in the capacity of a detective on the scene when he began and when he finished his notes. News reports mentioned police as though there were several detectives on the job from the start. Some newsmen erroneously reported that the police found a bloody ski mask in O.J.’s bedroom and a blood trail leading from his Bronco up his driveway and into his gate. Where could all of that have come from?
