Kari,
The issue here is proof. There is no proof that Kato did anything wrong. But there are circumstances that make him appear to be guilty if you haul out the right set of "guity" facts and interpret everything he did that you would not expect an innocent man to do as "guilty behavior."
One of my biggest frustrations with theories that discount the work I did in Iago (before reading it) to get the facts and make them work has to do with two different kinds of writing. If you've done a lot of technical writing where you have to describe something with many parts in a way that it can actually be made and do what it's supposed to do, you can better understand the importance of seperating facts (if you have them or high levels of probability if you don't) from fiction. What most people don't know about writing a complex work of fiction is that many of the same rules apply.
In fiction (which is what a theory is until it survives all the tests of fire that kill every other theory) you can't write just anything that comes to mind. Whatever fictional universe you create has rules that cannot be broken or bent. One event must have a logical connection to the next in time, space, character traits, etc. If you do everything right, you get a story that's believable because it could work -- IF everything you based the story on were true.
If you followed the logic of a mob hit, a Kato hit, a Kardashian hit, a Jason hit, etc. , which is done as well as someone as bright and knowledgable as you are could do it if you gave it enough time and effort you are bound to come up with something that could work. That is, it would work if were true. There are many reasons why none of them can be true with respect to Mark Fuhrman, but the effect of puttng them in the same bed is to close the door on both of them. In no way, shape or form could Kato and Fuhrman have been been working together.
The one thing all of the alternate senarios to mine and Sven's have in common is the attention they take away from Mark Fuhrman as a murder suspect. Ask anyone who has worked hard at proving a given theory (as opposed to trying to disprove all of them) and they will tell you that Fuhrman can't be the killer. They won't even THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT going there because they know, "You can't get there from here." --Jasper
