Jasper wrote in response to Jean:
"...I spent a considerable amount of time on the thumps and the planted glove. Most people assume that the glove was left near Kato's air conditioner by accident or by design around the time the thumps were made. Others believe that Fuhrman planted the glove after talking to Kato.
There is no way anyone could have planted the glove at 10:40 or 10:45 when Kato reported the thumps. Those who point out the "freshness" of the glove when Fuhrman reported finding it, are right. After 8 hours it would have been as relatively dry just because of the clotting properties of blood when exposed to air. The glove had to have been in closed container like a plastic bag within a short time of the find. The absence of blood or disturbed vegetation around the glove suggests that it was dropped there from a remote location, like the Salinger's side of the fence. I could not find a reference to the Salinger's side being a foot or two lower than O.J.'s. so I can't say any more about that...."
Gee. Jasper, I'm surprised to find out how much we disagree on. As for the "remote location", try from the other side of the second gate. This gate was located on the southwest corner of the guest house annex.
"...However, Fuhrman's interview with Kato struck me as having the same purpose as his interview with Rosa - to collect intelligence for his next move. That idea works whether you look at it from the standpoint of a detective trying to find out more about a possible suspect or whether you look at the detective as the killer looking for a good place to plant the glove...."
Which would have been under the front seat of the Bronco!
I hope you can see the near-self-contraction in your reasoning here, Jasper. If Fuhrman, who at the very least knew what real crime scene evidence looked like, HAD planted the glove, don't you think he would have done something as simple as kicking dirt and leaves and insects onto it? And then breaking the spider webs on the path east of the air conditioner so fake the escape path of the glove-dropper?
And, then, having done a bad job of planting the glove, why would he then go ahead and reported this and other details -- the very one's that made the glove look so suspicious. Or have you forgotten that it was no less than Fuhrman himself who first noted that the glove looked wet, had no leaves or insects on it, that the leaf layer it laid on was undistrubed, and that the spideer webs were intact. IOW, you are not only saying the Fuhrman did a lousy job of planting, but that he then informed on himself!
"... If he was looking for a good place to plant the glove, he could not have planted it already and he could not have had it on him. He would have left that to his partner, if his parter had the wherewithal to do it. If Roberts was the lookout on Bundy that Heidstra heard arguing with the man who said "Hey! Hey! Hey!" would have had the wherewithal to do it.
"That idea fits a military-style hit where the killer does a reconnaissance of the area and waits until the time is right to make his move. The time Rosa heard the voices would have been the best time to do the recon...."
Why?
"...After Kato told Fuhrman about the thumps would have been the best time to plant the glove..."
Why not earlier? Why not in the Bronco?
"...The details of my analysis is in Iago. There is a hell of a lot of baggage that comes with that scenario. All of it has to fit. All of it does fit. --Jasper"
This bit about Fuhrman ratting on himself doesn't fit.
