Interested Observer – Some of us have had personal conversations or correspondence with Doc. Johnson. He is a very polite man and I think he honestly believes a phone record exist that would prove Nicole was alive after 11:00 p.m. …………… The arguments he makes are the logical corollaries to holding that position. If that phone bill exists, there had to be a massive conspiracy to keep it hidden. There also had to be a massive conspiracy to get all of the timeline witnesses (not necessarily those who testified in court) except the ones that support the existence of the 11:00 phone record. Those witnesses boil down to Brad Roberts, Denise Brown and the Mezzaluna employees who estimated that the Browns left the restaurant too late for Lou Brown to have gotten home in time for Juditha to have made the 9:37 call on her phone bill. Ergo, that phone bill was forged and every apparent anomaly associated with that bill proves it. …………… I doubt that the money issue is what it appears to be. Nobody ever made money on a pro-O.J. book or even one that suggests he might have been framed. The publishing costs are enormous so the chances of getting a big publisher to do it are nil and the challenge of recovering your investment in doing it yourself is daunting. I believe that Doc. Johnson’s emphasis on money is an attempt to recover part of his investment. …..……… That’s why I think he’s putting so much emphasis on the “Black” component of his campaign. Think of it like a voting block in a political campaign. We’re talking about only 12 % of the population with only a small fraction of any group disposed to buy a book. However, of all the “voting blocks” in the country, this is one you don’t have to convince that ANY black man in the country could have been put on trial and convicted in the court of public opinion for murders he did not commit. …………… Yes, money is far more important to him than it is to Smartfellows Press but by everything I can see, he’s doing what he does first because he believes it and only secondly because the has so much invested in that belief, financially and emotionally. —Jasper
