The words Legacy of Deception happen to be the title of one of the most intriguing books regarding the OJ Simpson case written. A book I assumed was apparently so rare that the only ones available were the few in tattered condition, due to the worn out, dog eared, “good quality” used copy I purchased on-line a few years back. However, I would be wrong in one instance; there were plenty in good condition left but in another manner I’d be correct in terms of its rarity. The book was authored by a prolific Denver true crime writer, whose authored more than a dozen books on the subject, Stephen Singular. His skeletal drafted manuscript of LEGACY was ready 6 months after the June murders took place by December of 1994 when seeking a publishing deal. Unfortunately, though he received his book deal, it was subsequently sabotaged by his publisher before the O.J. Simpson trial began. It appears that he wanted to see Simpson convicted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Lyle Goldman, before hand. Thus, the publisher of Dove Books, Michael Viner, would not publish Singular’s revelations prior to this trial’s beginning in January of 1995. Upon Simpson’s acquittal in October of 1995 the publisher became angry and recalcitrant towards Singular and appeared determined not to publish his book at all, he only relented after Singular personally challenged him to honor his publishing commitment. Although he came around and agreed to publish the book, Viner did not place any emphasis on marketing it, and the book simply became, for all intent and purposes, a collector’s item. When the investigative/author, T.H. Johnson, finally caught up with Singular in 2013 and made contact, Singular told him that he felt like he’d been dug up after being entombed for 19 years. It was an example once again of the amazing impact that the OJ Simpson murder trial of 1995 has had on the psyche of normal thinking individuals, who you’d think would act in a reasonable and civil manner; especially those who are still in a rush to judgment to produce broadcast productions of what they presume to be the truth without doing in-depth research beyond the same old narrative.
l
Singular’s involvement in the Simpson case is discussed in the beginning chapters of one of the latest books on the Simpson trial written in 2015 by T.H. Johnson, the independent investigator from the OMIG investigative group, entitled The People vs. O.J. Simpson, the second in line following his compendium of investigative discoveries in his first offering, PURSUIT OF EXHIBIT 35 in the OJ Simpson Murder Trial.
In doing his research on the Simpson matter, Johnson found a strange reference to Singular, who for most people was a person relatively unknown in the Simpson case yet he was discussed over four pages in Chris Darden’s book, In Contempt. Johnson wanted to know, who was this man when it came out back in 1996. According to LEGACY OF DECEPTION Singular was contacted shortly after the murders in the Simpson case took place in 1994 and subsequently he was visited by an LAPD insider that met with him in a park in his home town of Denver, Colorado.
What this anonymous person would tell Singular in early August 1994 would potentially knock this case to its knees, and Singular wondered why he had been chosen to deliver the message. According to the anonymous insider, the infamous detective who found the glove at OJ Simpson’s Rockingham residence, Mark Fuhrman, had not simply gone to Simpson’s residence with the senior detectives, Tom Lange and Phil Vannatter, from the LAPD S.I.D. unit later that morning around 5:15 AM.
The insider claimed that Fuhrman and someone else had gone to Simpson’s house earlier that dark night around 3:00 AM with the expectation that Fuhrman would find incriminating evidence. To his dismay he did not find anything incriminating and apparently got into an argument with whomever he had gone there with for leaving a crime scene. The maid who worked next door to Simpson, Rosa Lopez, would claim later at the time of the trial that she had heard men arguing in the middle of the night on the boundary line between her location and Simpson’s. The insider told Singular in August of 1994 that Fuhrman went back the second time with Vannatter and Lange and that he carried one of the bloody gloves in a blue plastic bag used by detectives to collect evidence. The insider alleged that Fuhrman picked the glove up with a stick made of a piece of wood broken off the back fence of Nicole Brown Simpson’s Bundy residence. Naturally, Singular was astonished by such claims and asked how could such allegations be proven. The insider told him that the police took photos of the glove and near the glove in the photo you will find a piece of the blue plastic evidence bag. Under a somewhat feeble cross examination 7 months later in February 1995, Det. Tom Lange would ultimately admit to seeing a piece of blue plastic near the glove. I use the word feeble as best to reflect on the subsequent anger Singular would have with Simpson’s own “Dream Team” that he took chances to help reveal this corruption. The stick used to carry the bloody glove was left on Simpson’s Rockingham property too, according to the LAPD insider, and would also be collected by the police as evidence found at the Simpson property. Singular asked the insider why they did not take this information directly to the police in Los Angeles, and was told that the level of corruption within the LAPD and the Los Angeles County justice apparatus in general was so insidious that officials within these departments could not be trusted.
The reason he had reached out to Singular in Denver was because Singular had authored a book about the murder of a Denver radio talk show host by the name of Alan Berg back in 1986 entitled Talked To Death, one that Oliver Stone would later license from Singular to make a movie recounting the execution of Berg called Talk Radio. The killing of Berg was carried out by members of a neo-Nazi, white supremacist splinter group called The Order, who’d later be convicted of conspiracy, that wanted to start a violent national revolution by executing certain individuals. They had come down to Denver from Northeast Washington near the Northwest Idaho border a region of the United States that has become the headquarters for the racist Aryan nationalists. According to the LAPD insider, it also had become a popular retirement location for veteran police officers upon leaving the Los Angeles Police Department. Mark Fuhrman was known to move to this region as well, near Coeur d’alene, Idaho, when he retired in disgrace from the LAPD. The anonymous insider went on to say that there were neo-Nazi sympathizers within the LAPD, officers who were in command positions that protected these corrupt police officers who had a record of habitually corrupt practices while serving on the police force. This is why he saw no benefit in presenting such allegations to any of the justice apparatuses within L.A. County, and apparently California. The insider told Singular that he should attempt to get this information to the Simpson’s defense lawyers. Singular’s curiosity as an author in this genre of crime was intrigued enough to finally take up the challenge, and he would subsequently meet with members of O.J. Simpson’s defense team later in August of 1994. The “Dream Team” members would ultimately check out these bizarre allegations of Singular from his anonymous source and they would astonishingly find the evidence of these items to be true when they sought them out at the Los Angeles police property department. The defense team would in a sense now enlist Singular to attempt to get inside the LAPD forensic laboratory itself and secure other information they considered valuable but hidden. When Singular was not successful at doing so, or was not willing to do other things the defense requested, they appeared to act hostile and quick to kick him to the curb. In the meantime, Singular’s publisher would ultimately leak the information given to him in confidence to the L.A. D.A.’s office that Singular had a manuscript that contained information for which no one knew and had now given to the defense. The publisher, Viner, did it allegedly on advice of counsel to protect himself from any future charges. The prosecution would then attempt to sweat Singular to reveal his anonymous contact while threatening him with jail, if he refused. Singular still never gave in to their threats. The book is fascinating, to say the least, LEGACY OF DECEPTION and it’s an excellent read for those like us who still cannot get their fill of the O.J. Simpson murder case. One last thing before I let you go, something that I find quite interesting is that Mark Fuhrman would ultimately author his own book of the Simpson case entitled MARK FUHRMAN Murder In Brentwood.
His book would be published in 1997, two years after Singular’s book in 1995. What I find amazing is that Fuhrman’s book basically centers around he, himself, and all of the discoveries of evidence he made at Simpson’s Rockingham residence; the most important being the glove.
(L), Fuhrman’s glove discovery at Bundy Drive, (R), Fuhrman’s glove discovery at Rockingham
However, one item stands out as well as the glove that Fuhrman purports to have discovered. This item he discovers on the manicured boulevard in the upscale mansion neighborhood on Rockingham where O.J. Simpson lived. It is one of the highlighted discoveries made by Fuhrman that he talks about in his book, a piece of white stick that he claims looked out of place on the boulevard adjacent to Simpson’s Bronco. What is strange to us about that discovery is our attempt to imagine what significance Fuhrman thought it had in order for him to collect it as a potential piece of evidence in this murder case. Is Fuhrman attempting to imply that the perpetrator of these murders carried this piece of broken white stick from the murder site to Simpson’s property and dropped it? The onus was focused on Simpson already as a possible suspect when the detectives went to his Rockingham residence. Thus, Fuhrman apparently wants us to believe that Simpson brought the broken piece of stick to his residence after murdering two people. If so, why would Simpson do that? We cannot help but wonder if the truth inadvertently lies in the buried treasure of the last 20 years, LEGACY OF DECEPTION, whose anonymous source within the LAPD told Singular less than a month and a half after the murders took place in 1994 that Fuhrman himself broke that piece of stick off the back of Nicole Brown Simpson’s fence and used it to pick up the glove. Since Mr. Fuhrman elaborated about this stick in his book, as well as in his testimony on the witness stand, he needs to explain his thoughts about a murderer carrying such a stick back to his own residence. The idea of Simpson carrying it back to his home, and discarding it on a manicured boulevard, as those in his neighborhood after murdering two people is simply outrageously absurd. Hence, it further makes the idea of Simpson planting the glove on his own property seem. even more ridiculous and implausible, as it has always seemed to many, over the last 21 years. However, after reading Singular’s book, LEGACY OF DECEPTION, it raises the odds that the anonymous source was right in 1994, that it was Fuhrman who dropped that stick on Simpson’s boulevard, after he, Fuhrman, planted that glove inside the fence on Simpson’s residence.

After reading Blood Oath Skinner said that Blade or Speedy left the glove behind Kato’s guest house before banging on it hard enough for Kato to hear after they had completed the murders. I have read other books by Stephen Singular but find the ORDER’s account of the murders very real.
LikeLike
I think you find your belief in the ORDER’S account being very real because the book is sensationally written in a compelling, manner. However, their allegations of the timing of events do not line up with or overcome what we know based upon the testimony of the L.A. police officers involved in the Simpson investigation. Consider Mark Fuhrman’s testimony that he was ordered by lead detective Phillip Vannatter to return to the Bundy murder site at around 7AM June 13, 1994, after showing the glove he allegedly had found under the air conditioner to the three other detectives on the far south side of Simpson’s Rockingham property adjacent to the guest house in which Kato Kaelin resided. Fuhrman said he was told to go back and find the official photographer Rolf Rokahr and take a picture of the glove at the Bundy murder site so they could compare it with the one which he allegedly had discovered around 6AM at Simpson’s rockingham estate. However, after Fuhrman was impeached as a liar who’d committed perjury during the Simpson trial, the actual LAPD photographer, Rokahr, said that Fuhrman had hailed him around 4:10 AM to take that infamous photo of Fuhrman pointing at the second glove. That photo in essence was taken by Fuhrman 50 minutes before enticing the lead detectives to go to Simpson’s Rockingham at 5AM where they were told they might find evidence besides their alibi of alerting Simpson that his ex-wife had been killed.
What we find interesting regarding the Blood Oath book that we hope that someone with interest as yourself would attempt to confirm is whether the police union meeting that met at the Palm Desert Resort actually ended at 11 AM on Sunday morning as is alleged in that book, or did that police union meeting end much later whereby Fuhrman would have been justified in departing from there around 8-9PM that Sunday evening. If they ended after the union vote for higher pay for police officers and adjourned by 11AM on Sunday, so officer representatives could get home and rest before returning to work on Monday, why would Fuhrman stick around until late that evening when the barbeque he stated under testimony allegedly occurred the night before on Saturday from 8-9:30 PM and not on Sunday? We also believe that Fuhrman would not have left before the barbeque to drive 90 miles home on Saturday night just to get some sleep and then return 90 miles the next morning at 6AM to arrive for the 8 AM vote and adjournment at 11 AM Sunday.

I would have to reread the testimony of Rolf Rokahr again, and/or watch his testimony online, since it has been a number of years since watching it. However, I do not remember the LAPD Photographer retracting any of his remarks during testimony after apparently finally deciding to tell his truth.
Testifying on the witness stand as to the conduct of Officer Mark Fuhrman was somethinng that several officers who worked with him were unwilling to do beyond talking to the complaint’s officer in the LA DA’s office, Lucianne Coleman. That included one of his detective partners, Andrew Purdy, who complained to Coleman and triggered an internal affairs investigation of Fuhrman planting a Swastika in his locker due to his anger with Purdy for his engagement to a Jewish woman.
It included Detective Daryl Maxwell who told DDA Coleman about Fuhrman bragging to him and others about the nice Breast enhancement procedure,”Nice Boob Job”, Nicole Bown Simpson had at a Police Barbeque Social. We at OMIG (Ocean Medical Investigative Group) know about Nicole’s medical breast enhancement procedure because we have a copy of the autopsy report prepared by the actual medical examiner who performed the autopsy, Dr. Irwin Golden. The question is how did Fuhrman know about her breast enhancement, “nice boob job”, unless he had intimate proximity to Nicole Brown Simpson at some point in time before she was murdered?
However, back to your original question regarding Rolf Rohkar retracting his remarks. I suppose you meant did he retract his remark so that it validated Fuhrman’s statement of Rohkar taking the photo after 7 AM around 7:10 AM on June 13, 1994. That would have been approximately an hour-and-a-half after sunrise which occurred at 5:41 AM on June 13, 1994. Rokahr stated that he took the photo between 4:10 AM and 4:30 AM that morning which would have been between an hour to an hour-an-a-half before sunrise. Most importantly, as it relates to your question, is that Rokahr stated that he took the photo with a flash bulb. That is something we believe he would not forget.
So now the question for you to decide if you believe that he made a retraction is why would he have used or even say that he used a flash bulb to take the photo of Fuhrman pointing at the glove in the bright sunlight an hour-and-a-half after sunrise? We would definitely have a problem if such a retraction as that were made by Rokahr, however, we do not remember him making any retraction. Just something for you to ponder.

Why wasn’t Dr. Irwin Golden compelled to testify regarding what he knew (scientifically) about the murder(s) of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman ? Instead his boss testified in his place which to me is “hearsay”. I found this strange at the time of the trial and I also found it strange that Simpson’s defense team didn’t make a stink about the Los Angeles DA’s office offering a substitute player with regards to the autopsy. It was like the phone records of Mrs. Judytha Brown; why didn’t the Simpson defense team compel the court to allow the phone records of Judytha Brown? If we had gotten those records there would have been no 18 month soap opera trial and OJ would have been released and as a result we might have caught the real killer(s).

Im curious about those phone calls. The substance of which Juditha seems to have put forward were over the glasses, which lines up with 9:37 or thereabouts. However, the call had to be made in the first place, and it is inferred it was from their home, 90 minutes away. There were multiple witnesses stating they left at 8:45. This doesn’t seem to have been disputed by the browns. All I can wonder is did they call from somewhere else? Perhaps a car phone?
Second, why would the browns refuse to release them? What is the big deal? Honestly, is there something they could lose by doing so?

T.H. Johnson was the lead investigator for OMIG dealing with the Browns and attaining a copy of their phone records. The phone records according to his book PURSUIT OF EXHIBIT 35 in the OJ Simpson Murder Trial, had been surreptitiously removed from the Simpson case file by an ex parte order sought by and received by the actual lead prosecutor in the case, William “Bill” Hodgman in what appeared in the time stamps on both the petition requesting all of the exhibits in the Simpson case and judge Reid’s order to be a quick in-and-out action possibly in Judge John Reid’s Chambers.
================================================================================================As a result OMIG got Simpson to sign an agreement allowing OMIG to pursue the phone records and have them replaced back into the file. They ultimately served the phone company GTE’s legal archive department in San Angelo, TX a subpoena to produce the records. Since TX does not have the same strict law as it relates to public utilities as CA, it appeared at first that GTE was going to comply with the subpoena. However, once the lawyers for the CA subsidiary, GTE (California) became aware of the subpoena in TX they asked the parent company in TX to kick the case back out to CA. When T.H. Johnson reminded them that Texas did not require the same provisions requiring the utility owner’s permission before one could seek a copy of a public utility, GTE’s Legal Archive Representative told him that the reason they were sending it back to California for it to be handled there was because GTE (California) was a wholly owned subsidiary generating 20% of their net revenue and they did not want to create a problem with them. When it got back to California lawyers for GTE they said they could not cooperate in replacing them because it required the permission of the Browns, so sorry. =============================================================================================== It was as that time that T.H. Johnson said then what did OMIG have to lose by seeking the written permission from the Browns to access a copy of their phone record for June 12, 1994 from the GTE Legal Archive Dept. in San Angelo, TX. So used a people search link and found the mother, Juditha Brown, and tried giving them a call which turned out to be the right ones in Monarch Bay, Dana Point, Orange County, CA. The daughters turned him over to the father, Lou Brown, who spoke for about 90 minutes the first time and telling Johnson how he and his wife had become Born Again Christians. Sometime in that exchange, T.H. Johnson asked Brown if they would kindly allow them access to attain a copy of the Brown phone record. Brown ultimately agreed, but instead of in hindsight as Johnson told us, he should have had the main headquarters send a courier down the 90 minute to two hour drive down to Dana Point to attain the permission right there on the spot while Brown was willing to give his permission. However, T.H. Johnson said since they had spoken like gentlemen he was willing to grant him up to a week, but his brother, Dr. Henry Johnson said on that Thursday it was too long and get back in 4 days on Monday to attain it. On that following Monday, T.H. called Lou Brown and he did an abrupt 180 degree change. Now he only wanted to allow Bill Hodgman who he had spoken to in the interim to send Johnson an alleged copy of the phone record that Hodgman had claimed a year earlier he had no knowledge of its whereabouts though the Custodian of Record for the LA Superior Court Exhibit Department made him sign a receipt that he had removed all 1,009 exhibit evidence from that department. T.H. Johnson was given that acknowledgment in a letter from the Custodian of Record who he interviewed first in the investigation. That Hodgman showed up with the Court Order and removed the evidence but had to be made to sign the Exhibit Receipt Manifest.
================================================================================================However, Johnson told Brown that he appreciated his effort but given all of the suspicious conduct he rather preferred now that the copy of the record came from an unbiased 3rd party, namely GTE’s Legal Archive Dept of San Angelo, TX. Brown then appeared to feign agitation and accuse Johnson of seeking a copy of the phone record on the basis of race. However, Johnson who had by then been on two 90 minute calls with Brown asked him at what time in their prior conversations had he ever brought up the issue of race, instead Johnson said he was seeking the records as a matter of fairness and justice. Brown seemed to shamefully lower his agitated tone but told Johnson that if he did not accept what Hodgman was prepared to send to Brown then he would receive nothing at all. To somewhat allow each to save face and calm the heated atmosphere surrounding this discussion Johnson agreed, moreso out of curiosity to allow Brown to send to OMIG a copy of the records Hodgman would send to him but with an admonition, that agreeing Brown to sending those records from Hodgman OMIG was not obligated to consider them as the veritable record as those they would expect to be sent from the GTE Legal Archive in Texas. ================================================================================================This matter regarding the missing phone records received quite a bit of attention publicly via the LA Times, FOX NEWS and COURT TV and as a result grabbed the attention of a traffic engineer for the California Dept. of Transportation who another OMIG investigator had been in contact with. He told T.H. Johnson to get in contact with that engineer and was told by them that given the traffic volume and highway conditions on the I-405 Freeway for the night of June 12, 1994 there was no way that the Brown family was going to drive the distance between Brentwood and point B-Mondarch Bay, Dana Point, Orange County in approximately 45 minutes to an hour. They provided OMIG with the traffic data for the Brown’s hour of travel between 8-9PM Sunday on June 12, 1994 from Brentwood and the conclusions based on the traffic volume were the same. The traffic volume was extraordinarily high, and there was no completed HOV lane, but year 2 or that five year construction project creating a 15 mile construction zone straddling LA and Orange County around Long Beach, CA. As a result of the bottle necking, as well as the congestion further north where the I-10 Santa Monica Freeway, intersects with the I-405 San Diego Freeway average speeds along the Southbound I-405 were down to approximately 29 mph. Our Calculation for that night had them at around 25 mph for the 16 miles of I-405 data provided to OMIG investigators. ================================================================================================Well, Juditha Brown would attempt to push the time back during her civil trial testimony to a solid departure time from Brentwood at 8:30 PM, and the testimony was that the call was made from their home once arriving there. However, Juditha had told the Simpson defense investigators on June 14, 1994 that she spoke to Nicole at 11PM. When the defense investigators heard her say that they contacted the then lead attorney Robert Shapiro and told him that he needed to talk to Juditha himself and confirm her statement. Shapiro apparently would ask her that question when was the last time she talked to Nicole either at the Repasse or during the wake before her funeral on June 15, 1994 according to his Book SEARCH FOR JUSTICE, PAGE 33. He stated that Juditha told him that she talked to Nicole at about 11 o’clock. Shapiro asked “How did she know it was 11 o’clock?” and Juditha allegedly told him “I looked at the clock when I got home and it said 11 o’clock PM”. Shapiro attempts to offer a diminishing sentence thereafter, something like we would find later that her recollection was incorrect. However, the highway data does not support an 8:45 PM to 9:37 PM drive to Dana Point on that evening of June 12, 1994 between 8-9PM. With that level of traffic volume even with the 1998 completed HOV lane system, according to T.H. Johnson, Dets. Phil Vannatter and Tom Lange, Highway Patrolmen interviewed by OMIG, they all place the travel time still today or at least in 1998 and 1999 when OMIG was making that drive at around 90 minutes. Vannatter and Lange make that same conclusive remark on page 28 of their book EVIDENCE DISMISSED that the Brown family lived about a minimum of 90 minutes away from Brentwood.

The call being made from the home of Juditha Brown in Dana Point, Orange County, CA was part of the stipulation mutually agreed to by both the Prosecution and Defense attorneys. They did not call Juditha to take the stand and testify during the criminal trial possibly due to the stiff penalties under law in the state of California if prosecutors are caught fraudulently convicting an innocent defendant. However, that severe penalty of death is associated with capital case trials where the innocent victim was sentenced to death based on the intentional corrupt conduct of prosecutors to attain a conviction. The Death sentence was taken off the table early before the trial started in all probability to avoid a slip up that might cost prosecutors and anyone else involved to be subjected to a death sentence as well. However, in the criminal case against Simpson, by entering evidence by stipulation the judge instructs the jury according to CA BAJI 1.02 Book of Approved Jury Instruction, that the jury must accept the stipulation without question as factual evidence in a trial. Hence, the jury is not allowed to thoroughly examine the alleged Juditha Brown phone records when it was entered by stipulation of both attorneys.
A stipulation implies that both sides mutually agree to an alleged fact, however, as the preeminent jurist, John Henry Wigmore states in his turn of the 20th century book, Wigmore on Evidence, lawyers will misuse the act of stipulating if doing so mutually allows some benefit that not stipulating would reject. Such as stipulating in a personal injury case when death occurred, if it occurred in a certain way that money set aside by a company or insurance company has sat aside funds for just such cases. Where the money is meant to pay both lawyers and after collecting enough they agree to a settlement to give the surviving dependents a certain amount of that money as well.

Ok it think I get it. So they had a mutual agreement not to release them, and severe consequences if this were found out. Juditha wasn’t called, which seems odd seeing as she was the last person to speak with her. Are stipulations like this used a lot? For example, was there a lot of other evidence that was agreed upon in such a way? It seems unusual to not allow the jury to investigate. Secondly, what does this mean for the night of the murders? Let’s say it was at eleven, does this contradict anything substantial? I mean the dog was barking but this seems to be only a guess as to when the murders took place right?
Outside of this, I’m wondering about the bag and the stick. This was found near the body, claimed singular source. I assume we would say furhrmans claim that it was near the Bronco would be after it was discovered in evidence, but why would he leave it near the body? Or the bag?

====================================================== There were a number of things that should have compelled the defense to act, however, I think that once Johnnie Cochran was able to get in the controlling seat he had one objective. He had already experienced this level of malfeasance on the part of the state and federal government in a case he tried about 25 years earlier when he was a much younger and wet behind the ears attorney. I don’t think he ever lived down the mistake he had made based on trusting the ethics of a corrupt system that cost his client who attempted to tell him that he was going to be framed. That convicted client was Elmer “Geronimo” Pratt, defense minister for the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party. When the guards were taking Pratt out of the courtroom he looked back over his shoulder and said “Don’t Forget me, Cochran, Don’t Forget me”. I do not think that Cochran ever did forget that episode of a man he represented that was framed and sentenced to life without parole. For they could not get the case out of the LA County Superior Court because the former lead prosecutor in the Pratt case had become a long standing Superior Court Judge. Though Pratt’s attorney Scanlon had filed several appeals in the LA Superior Court all of them were denied, Johnnie Cochran knew this because he was underwriting the appeals. So, he knew the insidious action that had to be taken to get Pratt’s case removed from LA County. Cochran was ultimately successful, and an Orange County Judge, Everette Dickey, would set Pratt free after almost 29 years behind bars in 1997. By that time Geronimo Pratt would be declared by an international NGO as the longest political prisoner held after the release of South Africa’s Nelson Mandela.

Even Fuhrman’s partner Andrew Purdy who filed the complaint with the complaint’s officer in the DA’s office, Lucianne Coleman, about Fuhrman planting a swatstika in his locker because of Purdy;s decision to marry a Jewish woman. Purdy said that he would lie if forced to take the witness stand and testify, and when interrogated by the Simpson lawyers, Scheck and Neufeld, said that he would not testify out of fear of the LAPD’s SPU (Special Problems Unit). Judge Ito had to clarify for the lawyers who they were. They were supposedly an effective anti-gang strikeforce unit, yet another LAPD officer was deathly afraid of their presence if he was perceived to have testified unfavorably and brining scorn down upon them.

OMIG cannot put much faith in what is being said in that article since Rokahr said alot and more about taking that photo at approximately 4:10 AM to 4:30 AM on the morning of June 13, 1994 in September of 1995 when he testified in the Simpson Criminal Trial. Based on your article I went back to see if he was called as a plaintiff or defense witness in the Civil Trial a year later and his name does not show up as a witness for either side. He may have said something out of court to protect himself from physical threats or career destruction, I say that because we witnessed the psychological attack done to one of the attorneys working with OMIG, he was threatened and his career as a lawyer all but destroyed almost causing him to have a nervous breakdown. Before attaining the assistance of that lawyer, the Browns attorney, Merrit Mckeon filed a motion to join a pro se case that had been filed by Dr. Henry Johnson in 1997. She had filed a suit on behalf of the Browns for someone in the LADA’s office selling murder photos of Nicole to the press. However, she was shortly told thereafter that she would be risking a $200,000 grant for a summer law school class she was prepared to teach if she did not cut ties with OMIG. Hence, given all of the behind closed doors strong arming that we have witnessed we trust very little that is retracted or something that contradicts the false narrative that they want the public to hear. I would advise you to watch the documentary OMIG produced back in 2002 regarding their Independent Investigation called SERPENTS RISING: an Independent Investigation of the OJ Simpson Murder Trial. https://www.amazon.com/Serpents-Rising-Independent-Investigation-J/dp/B0046Z2M8I
Look at the demeanor of a whipped and defeated man, Dr. Irving Golden, as he tries to circumvent the questions being presented to him walking by an insistent ABC Reporter Sam Donaldson. Dr. Golden looks like he had been dragged through the mill and beaten down psychologically, career threatened, and who knows what else. Reduced to being nothing more than a meek individual after his bold testimony during the preliminary hearings and his remarks about finding two distinctively different types of knife wounds found on the victims bodies. Look at his demeanor during his testimony and his demeanor after during the Sam Donaldson walk.

Ok it think I get it. So they had a mutual agreement not to release them, and severe consequences if this were found out.
Juditha wasn’t called, which seems odd seeing as she was the last person to speak with her.
A. IT WAS ODD, HOWEVER, THEY MAY HAVE HAD POTENTIAL CRIMINAL ASSOCIATIONS OVERHANGING THE BROWN FAMILY, AS SOME OUTSIDE CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS UNRELATED TO THE MURDERS WERE ALLEGEDLY OVERHANGING OJ SIMPSON AND ROBERT KARDASHIAN. HENCE, THOSE ISSUES MAY HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR THE BROWNS TO SIMPLY KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT AND GO ALONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S RECKLESS FRAUD.
Q. Are stipulations like this used a lot?
A. STIPULATIONS ARE USED IN THE COMMON LAW COURTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND SUPPOSEDLY ARE EMPLOYED WHEN THERE IS AN UNDISPUTABLE, INEVITABLE, FACT. HOWEVER, THIS POLICY HISTORICALLY COULD BE AND CAN STILL BE ABUSED WHEN THERE ARE MUTUAL PECUNIARY INTERESTS, I.E. MONETARY GAIN, INVOLVED.
For example, was there a lot of other evidence that was agreed upon in such a way?
A. THERE WERE OTHERS, HOWEVER, WE AT OMIG DID NOT FOCUS ON ANY THAT WAS NOT DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR THAT AS THE PHONE RECORDS WERE IN CONFLICT IN TERMS OF PRIOR STATEMENTS. I.E. THE FATHER LOU BROWN STATED WHEN ASKED BY THE LEAD DETECTIVE LANGE THAT HIS DAUGHTER, NICOLE, WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER MOTHER AT 11PM THIS WAS PLACED IN THE CORONER INVESTIGATOR, CLAUDINE RATCLIFFE’S, AUTOPSY INVESTIGATIVE PROTOCOL FOUND IN NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON’S AUTOPSY REPORT, 94-05136.
It seems unusual to not allow the jury to investigate.
A. (1.) AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED AT OMIG, IT IS UNUSUAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE WITH THE JUDITHA BROWN PHONE RECORDS CRUCIAL EVIDENCE THAT IS IN CONFLICT AND IS CONTRADICTORY. HENCE, UNDER THE FRE (FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE) AND THE URE (UNIFORM RULES OF EVIDENCE), EVIDENCE OR STATEMENTS THAT ARE CONTRADICTORY FALL EXCLUSIVELY UNDER THE DOMAIN OF THE TRIERS OF FACT, MEANING THE JURY. ONLY THE JURORS, (TRIERS OF FACT) ARE ALLOWED FOR THE LAST 800 YEARS OF THE CREATION OF THE COMMON LAW COURT SYSTEM ALLOWED TO DETERMINE THE VORACITY, VERITABILITY, OR THE AUTHENTIFICATION OF EVIDENCE THAT IS IN CONFLICT.
A. (2) HOWEVER, YOU HAVE ONE MAJOR PROBLEM HERE, AND THAT IS THE COMMON LAW COURT SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA CHOSE NOT TO ACCEPT AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 12 YEAR INTERSTATE CONSORTIUM OF PREEMINENT JURISTS TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL UNIFORM RULES OF EVIDENCE. AFTER THE CONFERENCE ENDED IN 1965 THE FEDERAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WOULD ADOPT THE URE (UNIFORM RULES OF EVIDENCE) AS THE NEW FRE (FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE). IT LOOKED STRANGE TO SEE CALIFORNIA REJECT THEIR INVITATION ALONG WITH THOSE OF THE SOUTHERN RACIST JIM CROW STATES WHICH WERE POSSIBLY EXPECTED TO REJECT THE INVITATION.
A. (3.) HOWEVER, THAT SAME YEAR OF 1965, CALIFORNIA WOULD DECIDE TO HOLD ITS ON INTRASTATE CONFERENCE TO CREATE ITS OWN STATE OF CALIFORNIA RULES OF EVIDENCE. THUS, THE LAW GOVERNING STIPULATIONS IN CALIFORNIA ONLY REQUIRES THE OPPOSING ATTORNEYS TO AGREE TO WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE A FACT, AND WHEN THEY DO THE JUDGE IS THEN OBLIGATED TO INSTRUCT THE JURY THAT THEY MUST ACCEPT THE STIPULATION AS FACTUAL EVIDENCE IN THE CASE. THAT IS THE BASIS OF STIPULATIONS IN CALIFORNIA’S BOOK OF APPROVED JURY INSTRUCTION SEC. 1.02. (BAJI 1.02). THIS JURY INSTRUCTION WAS IN PLACE AT THE TIME OF THE SIMPSON CRIMINAL TRIAL.
Secondly, what does this mean for the night of the murders? Let’s say it was at eleven, does this contradict anything substantial? I mean the dog was barking but this seems to be only a guess as to when the murders took place right?
A. THE TIME OF 11PM PRESENT A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THE TIME THAT OJ EMERGED FROM HIS HOUSE ON ROCKINGHAM TO ENTER THE BACK SEAT OF THE CHAUFFEURED LIMOUSINE DRIVING HIM TO LAX INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO CATCH AN 11:45 PM FLIGHT TO CHICAGO.
Outside of this, I’m wondering about the bag and the stick. This was found near the body, claimed singular source. I assume we would say furhrmans claim that it was near the Bronco would be after it was discovered in evidence, but why would he leave it near the body? Or the bag? Do you know the details or have a theory here? Thanks
A. (1.) THE ONLY THING WE CAN CONCLUDE REGARDING THE BAG AND THE STICK IS THAT FUHRMAN WAS CONTINUOUSLY RECKLESS AND HE DIDN’T CARE. IT APPEARS THAT HE FELT THAT HIS HANDSOME, CAUCASIAN, MASCULINE, APPEARANCE AND PROFESSIONAL DEMEANOR IN PUBLIC IN A BROOKS BROTHERS SUIT, A BADGE, AND WINGTIP SHOES WOULD CARRY THE DAY IN TERMS OF CONVINCING THE PUBLIC AS TO HIS CREDIBILITY WHILE CONCEALING HIS CONTINUOUS ACTS OF MALFEASANCE.
A. (2.)SINGULAR’S CONTACT, THE ANONYMOUS LAPD INSIDER’S ALLEGED EVIDENCE OF MALFEASANCE HAS CONTINUED TO STAND UP IN TERMS OF THE BAG AND THE STICK AS WELL AS THE LIES TOLD BY THE FBI AGENT, ROGER MARTZ, ASKED BY THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DNA EXPERT ON LOAN TO THE LADA’S OFFICE, ROCKNE HARMON, TO REFUTE THE EXISTENCE OF THE CONCENTRATED CONTAMINATE EDTA FOUND IN THE BLOOD SWATCHES THAT SINGULAR’S ANONYMOUS INSIDER TOLD SINGULAR SHOULD BE TESTED. AS IT RELATES TO FUHRMAN AND THE BAG AND STICK. FUHRMAN STATED THAT HE FOUND A BROKEN PIECE OF STICK THAT APPEARED OUT OF PLACE ON SIMPSON’S LANDSCAPED BOULEVARD NEAT THE BRONCO. HOWEVER, FUHRMAN APPEARS TO HAVE LIED AGAIN REGARDING THE BLUE BAG FOUND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CHAIN LINK FENCE ADJACENT TO WHERE THE GLOVE WAS FOUND. FUHRMAN TESTIFIED THAT HE SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE A BLUE BAND AID WRAPPER ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FENCE NEAR THE GLOVE. HOWEVER, THE CABLE NETWORK CNN POSTED THE PROSECUTION EVIDENCE MANIFEST OF THE LAPD AND IT STATED THAT WHAT WAS COLLECTED NEAR THE GLOVE AT SIMPSON’S ROCKINGHAM RESIDENCE WAS A BLUE PLASTIC BAG ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE AS ITEM #10.
B. #9 — Glove found at Rockingham (right handed)
C. #10 — Blue plastic bag recovered from ground at Rockingham (from police report, it appears it was found somewhat near to bloody glove, on other side of chain-link fence.)

Hmmmm, not surprising. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the law in California etc. What you are saying there seems to affect not just his case but the entire system, I will have to read the book you mentioned. Fuhrman seems to have misreported many things, stating there was a “ski cap” and other incorrect details in his original notes. What do you think about the fingerprint? Apparently fuhrman logged it and a locksmith saw it but threw the lock out, assuming it had been tested. On many levels that stinks, why was it not collected if that were so? I’m also wondering if fuhrman was there early enough tot ale the glove. I’ve read reports others were there earlier, i.e. riske. How do we counter that? Thanks

I believe based on reading Fuhrman’s book, MURDER IN BRENTWOOD, that he was angry and therefore desperate enough to do outrageous things. In all probability he knew that the odds were in his favor that a case that implicated a celebrity like Simpson was going to be considered a high profile case. He knew that when he was ordered within 40 minutes of arriving at Nicole’s Bundy residence that his West Side Division was being demoted from lead detectives to supporting detectives for S.I.D. the Special Investigations Division of the LAPD. He considered himself a crack detective and resented the fact that others had not recognized him and promoted him to the elite S.I.D. after 19 years on the force.
So, when told to wait for the SID/Robbery Homicide Detectives, Vannatter and Lange to arrive, I believe he had made up his mind as he told the screen writer Laura McKinney that he was indispensible to the OJ Simpson case because he, Fuhrman, found the only piece of evidence that tied Simpson to the case, the glove. So yes, I believe that he saw two gloves at Bundy and decided to take one to Simpson’s residence and drop it there to implicate Simpson. I have thought that all along, since it made little sense that someone would kill and then bring a glove used in the killing back to his property and drop it on the ground there.
With the testimony of LAPD Photographer Rokahr stating when that photo was actually shot, about an hour and half before sunrise, and 45 minutes before going to Simpson’s home, I believe he had enough time to decide that he was going to take the chance to implicate Simpson. In a crude way it has worked since Fuhrman despite his image was made popular on certain News channels as an expert, and was paid well again for a number of the books he wrote.

Ok, but what about the other officers there earlier? It would have had to have been somewhere they did not see. I think there were at least two there before he got there.
I’m also wondering about the gloves, which were expensive and apparently rare. There is footage of him wearing the same gloves earlier.
What I’m curious about though, is how rare are they?

Yes, there were two officers there Patrolman Riske and his partner. We don’t know how much of the truth if any Patrolman Riske was willing to conceal, since several of them, who knew things about Fuhrman claimed to the complaints officer in the LADA’s office, Lucianne Coleman, that if she forced them to take the stand they would lie. Det. Andrew Purdy who was a vehicle partner with Fuhrman filing a complaint against him for placing a swastika in his locker. Purdy told the defense attorney Neufeld that he was not willing to testify out of fear of an internal LAPD unit called the SPU, SPECIAL PROBLEMS UNIT. Judge Ito had to explain to the attorneys the meaning of the three letters and what the unit was officially organized to do.
==================================================== However, when Fuhrman testified during the Simpson preliminary hearing on July 5, 1994, he was under cross examination by attorney Gerald Uelman, when testifying about the gloves and stated the following as answered. He spoke in the plural, how he saw THEM at Goldman’s feet:
Q All right.
08 And from that vantage point, you first
09 observed the glove that you told us about?
10 A Not first, no.
11 Q When did you first observe it?
12 A We had flashlights. We were looking at the
13 female victim. We looked at the male victim.
14 I noticed the glove when I walked around to
15 the — after I exited the residence the first time and
16 walked around to the side — or the north side, north
17 perimeter of 875 Bundy.
18 There’s an iron fence and through that iron
19 fence you can get very close to the male victim. And
20 looking there I could see THEM down at his feet.
====================================================
Brown Aris Isotoner Light Gloves-There was not anything so rare about them other than they were not being made at that time anymore. The issue was about the gloves found at the crime sites. When asked to try them on, Simpson appeared to struggle with his extremely large hands to get them to fit.
