Mario, .....You don't think you are moving time around but you are. More about that in my next post. .....The only way to test a theory is to try to punch holes in it. That’s how I arrived at Iago in the first place with my O.J.-did-it scenarios. …….I could see that the defense theories used to explain the evidence were full of holes, particularly the ones involving a massive LAPD conspiracy to frame O.J. after the bodies were discovered. I could see where they shaded their testimony or told outright lies to make their attempts to get O.J. appear to be legitimate attempts to follow compassionate notification procedures when they weren’t. I could see where Colin Yamauchi did some funny things that resulted in O.J.’s blood (with high concentrations of EDTA) appearing on the Rockingham glove and where blood (with high concentrations of EDTA) was planted on the socks over a month after they were collected. I could see where there might have been contamination of other blood evidence, where the Bundy blood drop samples were switched and where various people lied to cover up what happened. ……..However, too much evidence remained that didn’t conform to a police conspiracy after the fact. The knit cap, the Bundy glove and the bloody shoeprints had to be left by the killer. Either O.J. was guilty or the killer was roughly O.J.’s height, wore the same sized shoes and the murders were committed to frame him. In the end, there were enough holes in every conceivable OJG (O.J. Guilty) scenario to consider another suspect. ………Kato Kaelin, with his absurd thump story was my first choice but I quickly punched enough holes in every conceivable KKG scenario to look for another suspect. This process brought me to Ron Shipp, the black 6’ 2” ex-LAPD cop and “friend” of O.J. and Nicole who seemed to have everything required to pull of the killings and the frame-up. But when I worked out the timeline to a point where I was certain the murders were committed between 10:33 and 10:45 I couldn’t get Shipp on Bundy in time commit the murders and on Rockingham in time to make the thumps so I had to consider another killer with Shipp as a conspirator. That process led me to Fuhrman who I had rejected for many reasons beginning with the alibi I thought he had, his record of racism, his association with both gloves and his intelligence which argued against him doing anything to put himself in the spotlight. ……….Like John Junot, I was hung up on the idea that a viable theory had to be simple, had to involve one killer, the theft of the Bronco and the theft of “O.J.’s” shoes and gloves. This was because of a basic principle in scientific investigation called Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor (Iago in Brentwood Appendix, page 667-668), which favors simple explanations over complex ones. With Fuhrman as the killer the essential components of the murders and the frame-up become increasingly complex. It took a 700- page book just to get all of the high points, to document when they were discovered and how they fit together. It looks more complicated than it was because of all the misdirection involved in covering the real evidence. ……….I’ll try to lay out the basics in my next post to answer your other questions but you will have to get a good handle one what’s in this one to follow it. –Jasper
