Mario, …………Do you have any idea how much time and effort went into answering your question? Hours. Do you have any idea how many months I worked on getting at the truth on this issue without accepting anybody’s word alone for anything? What do you think I was talking about with different measures of time and the things that people SAID happened that converged on one time? How can you assume that I’m so fucking stupid that I would base something this important on mere speculation and trust in Kato’s word? ………..Yes, I’m pissed. You are a good guy but you wasted a whole bunch of my time and gave NONE of your time to THINKING THROUGH what I wrote in Iago and what I said in my posts in answer to your request. You scanned them looking for “all out proof” and dismissed it as “speculation” when you didn’t see what you were looking for. ………..Mario, all speculations are not created equal. Anything you don’t have “all out proof” of is speculation. I can speculate that you exist. I can prove that somebody using your name has posted on this board and others. I can give sworn testimony that I talked to somebody using your name over the phone and that the things we talked about had strong correlations to what the person (male of female?) using your name on the discussion boards wrote about. But none of this is proof that you exist. Your assurance that you exist is not proof that you do, neither is your birth certificate, your driver’s license or anything I can learn about your mother. For “all out proof” I would need your DNA and hers. ……..Okay…I’ve cooled down – a little. Here is the key to what I did: ………I know that you haven’t figured out the answer to the conundrum I lead off his month’s board with because it takes too much time. It doesn’t look as though anyone else bothered with it, either. But to solve some of the problems in the O.J. case you have to go thorough the same exercise or at lest be able to recognize when somebody else did. ……….The sex of the islanders, the color of the loincloths, the fog and the proportion of Truth-tellers to Liars are irrelevant. They were planted to lead you astray. Once you get past the arrows pointing you in the wrong direction (this is where most people quit) you see that the answer is in what the first islander said. ………. If Truth-tellers always tell the truth and Liars always lie, the first islander would have said he was a Truth-teller. You didn’t have to see the color of his loincloth or hear what he said (the kind of all out proof you’re looking for) to know that. If he was a Truth-teller he would have SAID he was a Truth-teller. If he was a Liar he would have SAID he was a Truth-teller. So you know (without “all out proof”) what the first islander said. The second Islander told the truth about what the first islander said so you know that he is also a Truth-teller. The third Islander said that they were lying – when you KNOW (without all out proof) that they told the truth. You know the third islander is a Liar. ……….What the first islander said is like the time on Allan Park’s phone bill. It’s a known reference point that can’t be manipulated, which we can us to figure out what we don’t know. What Rachel Ferrara said about the time Kato reported the thumps correlates to what the second islander said – it matches what we know to be true and tells us when Kato told her he heard the thumps. Although she didn’t know it, we do. It was 10:45. …………...Now we’re left with Kato’s UNNECESSARILY ridiculous thumps story. Did he hear them or did he make them up? Is there an explanation and evidence to support it that he MIGHT have told the truth? ………..All you’re looking for here is evidence to show that someone COULD have banged on Kato’s wall thee times, evidence that Kato didn’t know about. You get it starting with the unidentified car on Bundy parked on the south side of O.J.’s driveway. It wasn’t Rosa Lopez’s car and it didn’t belong to anyone visiting Rosa or O.J. It was there when Park took O.J. to the airport but it wasn’t there the next morning. Where was the driver? What was he doing there? How dose the location of that car fit into the ability of the killer to know where O.J. and Kato were, what they were doing and when to create an incident so unusual that Kato would report it if anyone asked, “Did anything unusual happen last night.” ……….In Iago I speculated that the sound Kato reported with a force that shook the wall but Rachael couldn’t hear could be reproduced with a baseball bat padded on the end or a golf club with a head protector. The question was whether a man could reach over that four and a half foot fence with an additional two feet of elevation because of the drop to the Sallinger’s driveway, through the tightly packed trees and a carport west of the air conditioner. I didn’t know the answers to all of these questions until late last year or early thing year. The answer to all of them is, yes. ……….Was there evidence or testimony unrelated to anybody’s thump theory that someone DID whack Kato’s wall with a padded baseball bat or a golf club? Yes, there was. Rosa Lopez testified that after O.J. and Kato left for McDonald’s she heard a man walking from Rockingham along the fence toward O.J.’s garage. When O.J. got back he looked said he looked for a golf club he wanted to use in the garage but couldn’t find it. No one ever disputed that the club was missing and no one ever attempted to tie it to the unidentified the thumps. Notice that you don’t have to take anyone’s word for anything. The golf club disappeared in the right span of time and from the right place to match Rosa’s story. The car was parked where it needed to be parked in the right time span to match Kato’s story of the thumps. None of the “real” people involved knew or cared enough to coordinate their stories with these events in the necessary temporal sequence. Only the “theoretical” person in the car could do that. ……….As far as cover-ups and huge conspiracies are concerned, I deliberately left them up to somebody else. They had to exist for anyone to pull of the killings and the frame up the way they were pulled off. Once I had that established I didn’t need to know any more than I did about them to identify the killer. When you read Iago in Brentwood you are reading the best information I could get at the time. I got the wrong date for the baseball bat incident from Fuhrman’s letter to the city attorney. I got Robert Heidstra’s place in the wrong alley from Clifford Linedecker. I got everything I put in the book about Dale St. John from Joe Bosco. Frankly, I didn’t care then and I don’t care now who O.J.’s regular limo driver was. I just needed to establish that he did have a regular limo driver, where the company was based and what O.J. and Kato could reasonably expect THAT driver to do – whoever he was – if the gate was locked at 10:45, the time he was scheduled to arrive at Rockingham. –Jasper
