Taz, ……..I do not understand the reasoning you used to conclude that “the timeline worked.” ……..In Marcia’s case in chief she argued that O.J. murdered Ron and Nicole in two minutes or less and “fled” in a panic. She used the lost glove, the lost cap, and the sheer number of clear, bloody shoeprints in his size to indicate his state of panic. She used ear witnesses to the dog barking to bracket the killing time between 10:15 and 10:23. ………..Marcia elicited other evidence of O.J.’s panic in the grand jury with Jill Shively’s story of seeing O.J. almost hit another car at the Bundy-San Vicente intersection. However, Jill put the time of this incident at 10:50 – at least five minutes AFTER Kato told Rachael Ferrara about the thumps. …………A bigger problem with Jill’s story involves the normal drive time from Nicole’s condo to O.J.’s house 2.5 miles away. Phil Vannatter timed it at 6 minutes. Donald Freed’s PI made the trip several times at various speeds. When he did it without stopping for anything his fastest time was 4.5 minutes. So, where was O.J. going in such a mad rush if it took him a minimum of 20 minutes to drive 2.5 miles? Where could he have been all that time in a state of panic without anyone other than Jill seeing him? If he didn’t get home until 10:50 (which I show in the Marcia’s Story animations) you have to add another five minutes to his unobserved driving-around-in-a-panic time before he drops the glove behind Kato’s bungalow in a panic and heads for his front door. ………Marcia’s Story 1 is the only way Allan Park could have seen Kato before he saw O.J. because that was the area he was looking in before he saw Kato (Two Witnesses). This explanation for Park not seeing O.J. first leaves a gap of 20 seconds or more that fits the conversation Park had with his boss but puts O.J. and Kato far apart in time and space. On top of that, Kato and O.J. would have passed right though each other without Kato noticing. In Marcia’s Story 2 and Two Witnesses you get the timing of the “almost simultaneous” sightings Park testified to but no way for Park AND Kato to have missed seeing O.J. In both iterations of Marcia’s story you have to monkey with the minute hand just to illustrate them and have O.J. passing through two gates without opening them. Even then you get O.J. standing around for several minutes after Kato hears the thumps because Kato left his bungalow several minutes after he said he heard the thumps. ………….Jill’s testimony makes Marcia’s timeline problem worse. Suppose she “really” saw O.J.’ at 10:40 or 10:45. The intersection where she said she saw him is less than a minute away from Nicole’s condo. Yet, according to Marcia’s latest end time for the killings it took O.J. fifteen or twenty minutes to get there. I tried to animate this sorry in compressed scale time but even at one second for every minute her car travels five times faster than the “speeding” Bronco does. You can make this scenario work only by parking the Bronco somewhere before he gets to San Vicente or having him drive around until he zoom back to that point and zooms home at speeds approaching or exceeding the speed of light. Where is the evidence for either of those scenarios? –Jasper
