"John,

"What small army [I had used that phrase in the post that Japser is replying to here] sneaking around Rockingham are you talking about? Name two. I named three: Ron Shipp, Brad Roberts and Mark Fuhrman..."

I'm not sure I understand you, Jasper. If you just named three, why do you need me to name two? BTW, I was being slight sarcastic in using that phrase, and perhaps should not have used it. The point I was really trying to make is that ANY theory that has ANYONE sneaking around the Rockingham grounds has all kind of 'baggage' attached to it. Where were those people hdiding? And, while hiding, how could they keep track of the people they were supposed to be keeping track of? And so forth.

"...Unless you are prepared to argue that Rosa Lopez lied about the footsteps she heard when O.J. and Kato went to McDonalds she had to have heard at least one person then. I say she is telling the truth and the person she heard was Ron Shipp. Somewhere between midnight and 12:30 she said she heard two men between the houses arguing. There are only four possibilities here. 1. She lied. 2 She was mistake. 3 she heard one of the men she heard before and one other man. 4. She heard two different men. I say she heard two different men, the killer and the man who looked out for him at Bundy. One of them had to have the glove. If the killer was Fuhrman and the Bundy lookout was Roberts, both of them had to decide what to do with it...."

Actually, Jasper, there is yet another explanation for what Rosa Lopez said: YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS IT WRONG, okay?

Where is your source for your assertion that RL heard footsteps while Kaelin and OJ were at McDonalds? She never said that.

She was unsure and never testified as to any estimate of where the "two men" were exactly when she heard the "voices". She also reported hearing "hard footsteps". She also never used the word "arguing" in describing those voices.

Finally, there is one perfectly non-sinister explanation for what Lopez heard: It was Arnelle coming home from her date, saying her goodbyes to him. I believe Lopez testified as to midnight or twelve thirty for hearing those voices, and this ties in exactly with Arnelle's own testimony for when she got home.

It would have been rather stupid and indiscreet for two conspirators to be "arguing" audibly at that time and place, since there was at least Kaelin and perhaps Arnelle within earshot (if they had their back windows open) when the purported argument took place.

"...Jean gave you the courtesy of considering the possibility that you might have something valuable to contribute with your asserting that Kato did it all. I have not read where she gave any numbers of the people who had to be at Rockingham at any given time and I have found her positions to be well considered whether or not they agree with mine. If you gave her thoughts the same courtesy she has given yours you may learn a thing or two. --Jasper "

Any scenario that uses third, and even forth or fifth, parties as lookouts at Rockingham and/or Bundy ends up looking like one of those slapstick scenes out of a Marx Brothers or Three Stooges movie where four or five characters are ducking in and out of two or three rooms and just missing seeing each other by a fraction of a second.
