The Double Verdict
We find the Defendant Guilty
Underlying assumptions, and criteria
Dictate that we cannot use any statement by Simpson, or Fuhrman
-- unless it is confirmed, or refuted, by an independent witness.
- 5:00 Sydney's Recital begins.
- 6:30 Sydney's recital ends; Simpson goes home; Nicole & family go to Mezzaluna.
- 7:00 Kaelin returns from playing Basketball. Kaelin fails to notice Bronco on Ashford.
- 7:00 Simpson, sitting in kitchen waves Kaelin in.
- They talk about the recital, Nicole's clothes and Simpson wise cracks about her.
- Simpson spends next two hours preparing for his Business Trip for Hertz.
- 9:00 Faye Resnick calls Nicole Brown Simpson. They speak for 30 minutes.
- 9:10 Simpson intrupts Kaelin's conversation with Tom O'Brien.
- 9:12 OJ Simpson and 'Kato' Kaelin drive to McDonald's in the Bentley.
- Kaelin establishes that the Bronco IS NOT outside Rockingham gate.
- 9:25 Simpson eats Big Mac in the car, while driving.
- 9:30-9:45 Cales wound up from the events of the day, and thinking about his pending trip, decides to walk his dog. Walking in the middle of the street, he heads down Rockingham to the corner of Ashford. The street is devoid of both traffic and parked cars. His route takes him within 60 yards of the Rockingham gate, but not far enough to afford a view of the Bronco outside the Ashford gate.
- He confirms Kaelin - Bronco is NOT on Rockingham.
- Therefore it is unseen, but on Ashford.
- 9:35 Simpson & Kaelin have returned from McDonalds.
- AGAIN Kaelin fails to notice Bronco parked on Ashford.
- Kaelin last sees Simpson on the passenger side of the Bentley.
- Kaelin goes to his room to eat his McChicken sandwich.
- 9:37 In his room, Kaelin places phone call to Tom O'Brien.
- Juditha Brown realizes she has lost ger glasses -- probably at Mezzaluna.
- 9:38As Kaelin dials O'Brien, Brown calls Mezzaluna.
- Karen Crawford answers, plces Brown on hold,
- Crawford locates the glasses outside, on the blacktop.
- 9:42 Having established that her glasses are at Mezzaluna, Brown calls her daughter Nicole; who then calls Mezzaluna and arranges for the glasses to be dropped off at her house - by Ron Goldman.
- 10:00 Ron Goldman takes Juditha's glasses back to his apartment. He takes a liesurely shower, changes and heads over to Nicole's. He's in no hurry. His only appointment is to meet a friend in a bar sometime after eleven -- and he has the keys to another friend's car in his pocket. That car happens to be parked near Nicole's.
- 10:00 Linda Carole & daughter are stopped at RED LIGHT at corner of WILSHIRE & BUNDY. She sees Simpson in White Bronco -- he looks angry. She notices time 12:00 - clock is set on Alabama Time. But is it accurate? Could the time have been 10:25?
Can we trust her Statement?
- Linda Carole's statement is just that, a statement. If she's correct, Simpson has left Rockingham and is seen just prior to making the 10:03 call to Paula. It also means that Rosa Lopez was mistaken, or lied under oath. Given that Carole was on PROZAC at the time, she appears here only because she was reported to have seen Simpson.
- 10:03 Simpson attempts to call Paula -- he can't get through. Simpson is feeling tired, a little depressed, possibly lonely -- he has lost track of time, and decides to visit Nicole's to see his children. Having no real sense of time, Simpson believes he has at least an hour before the Limousine is scheduled to arrive. It was a big day for his Daughter Sidney, and he really hadn't had the opportunity to let her know how proud he was of her recital performance.
- 10:13 Rosa Lopez walks dog and sees Bronco outside Rockingham. She is ONLY independent witness to testify under oath that the Bronco was at Rockingham. Her testimony is therefore the only evidence that the Bronco was available to Simpson -- Because they were interested in PROTECTING FUHRMAN, the testimony of this critical prosecution witness was never presented to the jury.
NOTE - PROBLEMS with Prosecution Case:
- FIRST problem, establishing that the Bronco was available -- ROSA LOPEZ saw it, and had reason to know the time.
- SECOND problem, explaining the prosecutions unexplained 58 minutes between Cales & Heidstra/Pilnak. Simpson was home.
- THIRD problem, getting Simpson out of Rockingham unnoticed, is solved by Bronco being parked on Ashford prior to 9:45, and Rockingham after 10:00.
- 10:20 Pablo Fenjves -- who lives behind and down the block from 875 Bundy -- watching the Network news, hears a dog barking. He cannot establish an exact time; has no idea where the noise is originating, but hears it through a window that faces Nicole's.
- 10:22 Denise Pilnak and her friend, Judy, are talking by Judy's car -- which is parked on Bundy, diaginally opposite 875. The street is sufficiently quiet to allow the sound of their own voices to drown out the sound of the barking in the distance.
- 10:23 Allan Park locates Rockingham address, parks on Ashford facing the Ashford Gate.
- The Bronco is GONE from BOTH Rockingham & Ashford.
- 10:25 Aaronsen & Mandel pass 875 south Bundy. The street is empty and quiet.
[NOTE: FOURTH problem, why only Fenjves has a timed basis to report barking at 10:20. But he also reports the dog still barking after 11:00. Which established that he hadn't heard the AKITA, which barked while he was in his downstairs office.]
- 10:26 Simpson, turns into the alleyway behind 875, and parks by Nicole's jeep. The garage door is still open. He enters, and knocks at the rear door to the house. Nicole -- eating some Ben & Jerry's -- sets the ice cream on the banister just before answering the door. Nicole the button to close the garage door, but forgets about the ice cream when OJ enters.
[NOTE: FIFTH problem, the ice cream on the bannister.]
- 10:27 Inside the kitchen, and still unaware of the time, Simpson is told that the children are sleeping. Tired, and believing Nicole to be lying -- the Akita is upstairs near the sleeping children -- Nicole and Simpson get into an argument. In the living room, Nicole -- treating OJ as she did his maid -- hits him, and runs back to the kitchen. Simpson exits via the front door, and runs into Goldman.
[NOTE: SIXTH problem, getting Simpson a weapon.]
- 10:29 Linda Carole & daughter are driving down Bundy, she sees Simpson, Ron Goldman & the Akita outside Nicole's.
NOTE: Carole introduces more problems than she solves. Not only is she unreliable because of the PROZAC, she is also in direct conflict with the LOPEZ testimony.
- Anything which creates conflict between witnesses, creates conflict in the minds of a jury. If we eliminate LOPEZ, we eliminate the only witness to establish the Bronco was at Rockingham and available to Simpson -- and reintroduce the Prosecution's FIRST PROBLEM.
- We have three witnesses -- KAELIN, CALES, PARK -- who have sworn, on multiple occassions, that they DID NOT see the Bronco when we know where Simpson was. If we do not establish that the Bronco is available to Simpson, than, the testimony dictates that it was UNAVAILABLE. An unbiased jury has no option but to find Simpson innocent.
- Carole has Simpson & Goldman talking on Bundy, with the dog running free -- but under Simpson's verbal control.
- If the Carole car clock were off by 25 minutes, her testimony fits. But only if the CLOCK WAS SLOW.
- Simpson is outside, meets Goldman, they talk & Goldman gives the glasses to Simpson, who then has a reason to go back inside.
- 10:31 Simpson buzzes. At first, Nicole thinks it's Ron Goldman. When she sees it's Simpson, she gets a knife from the kitchen -- one of two she grabbed from the drawer -- the other having been left on the counter. She goes outside to confront Simpson.
- 10:32 Simpson grabs her wrist, to get control of the knife. They struggle, and he stabs her -- she's mortally wounded.
- 10:33 The Akita, hearing the argument, charges down stairs -- barking. Robert Heidstra at Bundy and Dorothy, hears the Akita barking and turns away from his normal route. Denise Pilnak is able to establish the time the barking begins.
[NOTE: SEVENTH problem, getting Nicole, and the struggle, outside.]
- 10:38 Simpson is looking at Nicole -- her body facing on the front steps -- when Ron Goldman returns. Goldman had forgotten something, or had heard the Akita -- he had gone to get the borrowed car, which he was going to use to meet his friend. Heidstra hears "Hey, Hey, Hey" and some heated exchange. Goldman doesn't realize that Nicole is dying -- he sees only her body on the stairs, and Simpson. Simpson attacks. He manages to turn Goldman -- and from behind -- stabs him in the neck, severing the left jugular. He then stabs Goldman twice in the right side -- and allows Goldman to fall away.
- 10:39 Allan Park pulls into Ashford gate, his bumper just touching it.
- 10:40 Kaelin, on the phone with Rachel Farrara, hears a noise and sees the picture on his wall move. The noise is coincidental to the murders.
[NOTE: Unexplained, except by Cat Theory, noise and "earthquake".]
- 10:41 Allan Park is at the Rockingham gate, where he sees the two dark cars in the driveway, and no Bronco.
- 10:42 Simpson walks toward the rear of Bundy. His shoes have picked up some blood, and he leaves shoeprints. He hears a sound from Nicole; stops; turns -- his prints are now at right angles to the pathway -- he goes back, and slits Nicole's throat. Having killed Goldman, he can't leave her alive.
[NOTE: EIGHTH problem, explain the shoeprints that show a return.]
- 10:43 Simpson stands there, almost in shock, and watches Goldman to be sure he too is dead. Feeling hot, he removes the bloody gloves, then the cap -- they fall into a small bush by the front gate. A heel print shows where he stood.
[NOTE: NINTH problem, the heel print, and location of gloves and cap.]
- 10:44 As he exits the rear gate, Simpson removes his bloody sweatshirt. The left arm of which is soaked with Goldman's blood; the blood runs down Simpson's hand and deposited drips to the left of his shoe prints as he walked. He still has no idea what time it is. He uses the sweat shirt to clean his hand, and folds it in on itself. Realizing that his shoes are also blood stained, he removes them and instinctively wraps them in the sweatshirt. Reaching into his pocket for his car key, he drops some change -- and doesn't notice.
- 10:45 Heidstra see the Bronco and two other cars heading towards Wilshire, away from Rockingham. Initally, Simpson drove in the wrong direction, but only a short distance -- changing direction, he turns in a parking lot; where he sees a dumpster, drives up to it and tosses in the knife, long sleeve sweatshirt and shoes, then turns. The police will later search the area between Bundy and Rockingham, but not on the opposite side of Bundy from Rockingham. He disposed of his pants later. Shively will see him in a short sleeve shirt -- a dark blue, or black, t-shirt which he wore under the sweatshirt.
[NOTE: TENTH problem, dispose of the evidence.]
- 10:47 Kaelin gets off the phone and finds his small flashlight. He will investigate the "earthquake".
- 10:48 Jill Shively claims Simpson ran red light at Bundy and San Vicente. He almost hits a Nissan, the three cars are in the intersection for a brief period before Simpson races off.
The Prosecution branded SHIVELY a LIAR because she wasn't honest about who she had spoken to. They asked the GRAND JURY to disregard her testimony based on that -- not on the accuracy of her statement about seeing Simpson. This would be consistant with an effort to cover for Fuhrman. Basically, the Prosecution is willing to allow a double murderer to walk when faced with the racial outcry that would follow disclosure of Fuhrman's -- therefore LAPD -- racism. This would be reasonable, given that Simpson could NOT be prosecuted it it was disclosed that the evidence had been tampered with.
- 10:49 Allan park gets out of Limousine and presses buzzer.
- 10:50 Kaelin sees Limousine when he reaches driveway, and goes to south pathway to investigate noise. No lights are on downstairs.
- 10:52 Simpson arrives back at Rockingham, and grabs his cellphone -- cutting his finger. He hears the phone in the limousine as he exits the Bronco; he slowly and quietly closes the driverside door -- dripping a little of his own blood near the handle. He also sees the dim light from Kaelin's flashlight on the south pathway. He enters quietly and waits in shadows for Kaelin to pass.
- 10:53 Jill Shively gets to store just before it closes.
- 10:54 As Kaelin passes the garage, Simpson makes his way into the house. He has no idea as to why Kaelin would be outside, and not knowing if his entry went unnoticed by Park, turns on the entry light and quickly places his Golf Bag outside..
- Kaelin was observed to mindlessly react to the Rockingham gate area -- subconsciously reacting to Simpson, who was in the shadows.
- 10:55 Heidstra stops in front of his building, hears the Akita suddenly stop Barking. Steven Schwab has found the dog and takes it to his home.
- 10:56 Simpson talks to Park on intercom, removes pants and deposits them in luggage. He runs upstairs; washes; puts on his travel clothes.
- 10:57 Kaelin opens the Ashford Gate; Park drives the limousine in, and stops in front of the entryway.
- 10:59 Jacket in hand, Simpson emerges from the house.
- 11:00 Things are loaded into Limousine, Kaelin is talking about his earthquake, Simpson is experiencing a form of adrenaline withdrawal which makes him appear very calm. When he gets to Chicago, he disposes of the pants -- the police search for a knife. By the time the LAPD reach Rickingham, arrest Simpson and request the search in Chicago -- the pants are on their way to a landfill. The evidence is gone.
- 11:05 Simpson leaves for LAX, Allan Park does not notice Bronco parked to right of Rockingham Gate.
- 11:38 Simpson uses pay phone at airport to call Kaelin -- gives him instructions, and the code, to set the alarm.
- 11:45 Simpson's flight to Chicago departs on schedule.
- 2:30 AM Police arrive at Bundy. Careful not to disturb the crime area, the police do not enter; instead, they circle the area making observation from vantage points six or more feet from the bodies. Most of the observations are made from angles that parallel the bushes -- the doorway and outside the gate. At the closest vantage point, beside the walkway, they have their attention divided between observing evidence and trying not to disturb the area. From this near vantage point, all observations are made with a high powered flashlight that casts a heavy shadow (from the thick bushes) across the second glove which is behind, and slightly under Goldman's foot.
- 4:00 AM Fuhrman had noticed the second glove when he was behind the fence viewing Goldman. When he was remooved from the case, he decided to investigate what he thought he saw -- he uses Rokahr, the photographer as an excuse to enter the crime scene -- fortunately, Rokahr asks Mark Fuhrman to point to the glove and cap. This puts Fuhrman inside the crime area. When finished, the photographer exits the area to take general photos. Fuhrman is alone, he confirms the second glove. Moving Goldman's foot, he decides to "collect it" -- this would again make him part of the case. As part of the chain of custody, he would have to be called to testify to the location of the glove. He might get some flak for what he did, but nothing that would jeopardize the presentation of the evidence -- in the LAPD Detectives are authorized to collect blood evidence; and are provided the collection equipment. All the other officers are outside the tapes. There is nobody there to witness what he has done.
- 5:20 AM Fuhrman, at Rockingham, sees the small drop of blood on the Bronco. He suspects that Simpson is the killer. And his racial bias allows him the luxury of planting evidence on "guilty" people.
- 5:30 AM Vannatter decides that the Bronco is part of a possible crime scene. He also decides that there is reason to do a forced entry into the Rockingham Estate.
- 5:45 AM When talking to Kaelin, Fuhrman learns about the noise at 10:45. He learns that the limo was there after that, he also knows when the Akita was found, so he knows the murders were before 10:55.
- 5:55 AM At this point, he bring Kaelin to Vannatter and goes to investigate the noise. Under the assumption that Simpson did it, and knowing the past history with Nicole, he decides it's alright to plant the evidence, find it, and become a critical part of an historic -- possibly career making -- case.
- 6:30 AM Vannatter has already made a rush to judgement - that happens to be right - and has OJ handcuffed upon his arrival home at
- 7:00 AM Ordered by Vannatter to return to Bundy, check that glove to confirm it matches the Rockingham glove, Fuhrman has a second set of photographs take. This time, he lifts the bush -- establishing that there is only one glove at Bundy, and providing a means of covering for his prior entry into the crime scene. This time, the photograph is witnessed by another officer -- Officer Riske. Fuhrman has what, in a normal case, would be an alibi.
The key to this solution is, obviously, Fuhrman tampered with evidence by planting it on a guilty man. That still makes Fuhrman guilty of a capital crime.

Assumptions, and CriteriaIn accordance with our published criteria; let us assume that, none of the witnesses were mistaken --- that each testified to the events on the night of Sunday, June 12th, and morning of Monday, June 13th, 1994 with complete candour.
Let us also assume that, when an individual can be shown to have lied, they did so out of a knowledge of guilt, or complicity in a crime. No individual can be held liable for what they might have said, had they been called. It is the obligation of the attorney to call a witness. No individual has an obligation to volunteer testimony. But once an individual has agreed to testify -- and has testified -- they do have an obligation to make themselves available until specifically released from that obligation by the Court.
Assertions by Attorneys
- regarding facts not in evidence are speculative, or hypothetical -- therefore meaningless.
- which purport to reflect evidence, or testimony, but differ significantly from that evidence, or testimony, are willful attempts to mislead -- the purpose of which can be construed as based in criminal intent.
Obligations of Counsel
- The Defense has an obligation to surpress -- or discredit -- any, and all, evidence. To do any less would be tandimount to malpractice.
- The Prosecution has the obligation to provide the most accurate, precise and coherent presentation possible. Unlike the Defense, the Prosecution does not have the right to surpress factual evidence. But, the Prosecution may seek surpression of any evidence that lacks a direct bearing on the crime in question.
- The Court is the final arbitrator of fact -- subject to appeal to a Higher Court.
There will be those who are surprised, or upset, by this scenario appearing at this URL. I would remind them, and others, that these pages are targeted at Mark Fuhrman. And while the weight of evidence -- when viewed without bias -- points to Simson's innocence, establishing that is not the stated objective of these pages. When this page -- with it's honest and undistorted presentation of the testimony -- is viewed in the context of the same critera having been applied to all of the pages comprising The "Indite" Mark Fuhrman page, it should become self evident that those who have attacked our effort, have done so in defense of Fuhrman. For, if the basis of their attacks had been to establish Simpson's probable guilt, they would have composed an argument akin to that which apppears above.
