This is from Fuhrman's 3/14/95 testimony. The context is this: Cochran is cross-examining. he has been implying that Furnman's real motive for bringing all the rest of th4e detectives to the glove one at a time was NOT to show them the glove and get their responses, but to trample over and obscure some other type of evidence on the path leading up to the glove
Q DID YOU NOTICE THAT WHEN YOU SAW THE GLOVE THERE WAS AN OBJECT EQUIDISTANT FROM THE FENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE THAT WAS VERY PLAINLY VISIBLE THROUGH IT? A YES. Q SO THAT PRESUMABLY IF YOU HAD CHOSEN TO DO IT YOU COULD HAVE HAD THE DETECTIVE LOOK THROUGH THE FENCE AND HAD THE SAME VANTAGE POINTS WITH RESPECT TO THE GLOVE, COULDN'T YOU? A NO. Q COULD NOT? A NO. Q WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? A IT WAS VERY OVERGROWN, VERY DIRTY. THE LEAVES WERE VERY THICK IN THE FLOWER BED AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE. IT WAS VERY HARD TO EVEN GET IN THERE. I PERSONALLY TRIED TO GET INTO THAT AREA AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT, VERY DIRTY.
Thank you, Jasper, for advising me to do this. What this passage also does is to further explode Bob August (and others') theories of OJ going over the fence from the Salinger side, not that they had much credibility anyway.
