Review: Fuhrman is blatantly disingenuous in his attempt to give a greatly self-serving interpretation to his involvement in the OJ Simpson case. There is little doubt that OJ is guilty; it is also evident that the prosecution was so incompetent that a sequestered juror or one who followed the instructions would likely conclude that the prosecution did not carry its burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; the defense was far more capable than the prosecution and even though the duty to defend the client zealously was given an excessively zealous interpretation by Cochran, they did what they were supposed to do by law; Judge Ito was not the most capable person for this type of case -- stir this together and the result was perhaps stunning, but not necessarily unexpected. Fuhrman is right that once it became known that he committed perjury and was a racist, he damaged the prosecution's case badly. However, he becomes nonsensical when he engages in a selfrighteous, obviously incredible attempt at self justification. His explanations for his misconduct are so grossly unbelievable that it takes an effort to keep reading.
