Theory Observer The way I see it, the only way a guy in O.J.s position who knew about the guns would tell his lawyer that there were no guns is if he were extraordinarily stupid. Some people are that stupid. O.J. isnt. He only looks that way on TV. The only way O.J. would have told someone to bring guns to that room is he was incredibly stupid. The operative word is incredibly as in nobody is that stupid. The size of the room with eight men inside of it is why I think O.J. believed he would have seen a gun if one was used. But a salient aspect of the audio tape is O.J.s distraction when McClinton referred to the gun. He was yelling at Beardsley (presumably face to face) while Riccio was behind him with McClinton putting on a show for everyone looking his way that HE had a gun. If McClinton had walked in or out of that room with a gun in his hand the hallway camera would have caught it, which means O.J. was not necessarily ever in a position to see it. Neither Stewart nor Ehrlich testified. Although some people in the room testified that Alexander flashed his gun, Beardsley was not sure how many guns were used and only Fromong and McClinton said that both guns were drawn. Judging by the size of the room and the sounds on the tape (including those closest and farthest away form the recorder) Riccio and McClinton were the only men in the room who were unquestionably able to see everything that was going on. Fromong, Beardsley and Cashmore were positioned where they could see everything when their attention was not diverted by Stewart, Alexander, O.J. or McClinton. ..Factoring in someone in broad-filed of observation and control position who wanted others in the room to see both guns but not O.J., I got one man smart enough and smooth enough to pull it off; Michael McClinton.
