He is absolutely sick and beside himself because he believes an innocent man is in the can. But Jack is a cop through and through, and he will not make any public statement that might embarrass his la...
Fuhrman is a liar, a racist, and a bully. It’s a great irony that he disgraced himself for his pivotal role in letting Simpson escape justice and then rehabilitated himself by helping to put an innoce...
The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law applied by an independent judiciary immune to the gusting winds of popular sentiment. —Caroline Kennedy
Fuhrman invented the motive: Michael’s supposed jealousy toward his brother Tommy.
Michael being Michael was very consoling to me, Sherman said. I was a wreck. Still am a wreck. And Michael was saying, ‘Don’t worry. It’s going to be okay.
And, Murphy reasoned, Sheridan was speaking on behalf of his client. Murphy’s only obligation was to solve the case, not question the client’s judgment.
As Jay Leno suggested, referring to the Skakel trial, many people would prefer to be found guilty of murder than be suspected of masturbating in a tree: I would rather confess to murder. Wouldn’t you?...
With 401 reporters certified to cover the case, only one, Leslie Stahl, bothered to look beneath the flimsy veneer at the myriad facts undermining the prosecutor’s frail parable.

Media condemnation of Michael’s arrogance amplified because he appeared not to be paying attention as he cast his eyes downward toward the defense table. My wrists were sore from writing ‘Object Micke...
