Rovaan,
We must be talking about different cases. I didn't say anything about Jill Shively being convicted of a felony. I said that she was proven to be a liar and a swindler.
The "liar" part of my statement came from the transcripts of her testimony before the grand jury. She told Marcia Clark that she talked to no one but her mother about the Bronco incident. Her Hard Copy interview proved that she was lying.
The "swindler" part of the statement comes from actor Bryan Clark's successful lawsuit against Shively in a small claims court. To win a lawsuit for any amount of money the plaintiff has to prove the defendant's guilt. As we saw with O.J. Simpson the verdict doesn't always comport with the truth, but from the inconsistencies in Shively's story I'm inclined to believe that the verdict in her case was correct.
Shively's time checks are also something that I took a careful look at. She said that she left her house at 10:45 to be sure that she could get to the store before it closed at 11:00. She said that the store actually closed at 12:00 but she left the house when she did because she thought that it closed at 11:00. Surely she didn't use her car clock to check the time before she left the house.
Shively said that she checked her car clock when she got to the store at 10:52. That was her only reference to the car clock. In fact, it was Marcia Clark who mentioned the car clock and Shively agreed. Shively said nothing about the clock being 8 to 10 minutes fast at that time. If the car clock had been 8 to 10 minutes fast, she couldn't have left the house at 10:45. She was certain about that time and used the car clock time as a double check on the time of the alleged Bronco incident at the intersection of Bundy and San Vicente.
Shively was Marcia second witness. She didn't know then what Allan Park would testify to. She didn't know that his phone call to his boss fixed the time that he saw O.J. at 10:52. If she saw the problem with her story after Park's testimony all she had to do was turn her car clock 10 minutes ahead in case someone decided to check it. If the police checked the clock before she testified, why didn't Marcia include that vital piece of information in her examination? If you know the answer I'd really like to hear it.
If you can show me why I should trust that Shively's car clock was actually 8 to 10 minutes fast I would appreciate that, too. But it still leaves the question of why she was so sure that she left the house at 10:45.
Now do you see my problem with Jill Shively's testimony? --Jasper
