Photo Fakers

 

To fake the photos identified as E.J. Flammer's in O.J.'s civil trial the best way to start is with a pair of Bruno Magli's like the ones in the photo above, which was copyrighted by Flammer's "agent" Rob McElroy in 1996. McElroy's shoes have all the identifying features of the shoes in the "Flammer" photos except for the sued finish. Adding the Lorenzos' suede texture is easy with the right computer program. You can also put them on anyone’s feet.

Note the apparent gloss on "suede" top of the right shoe

From the civil trial testimony of E.J. Flammer.: "Bill Munson and Dennis Lynch from the Buffalo Bills were in the picture. My father, Ed Flammer, who was the president of the Quarterback Club, Jerry Flashner, and I believe Mike Lacata"

Q: Where was Flammer's agent, professional photographer Rob McElroy?

Of the 30 photos allegedly taken by E.J. Flammer in Orchard Park New York's Rich Stadium on September 26, 1993 27 were identical or nearly identical to the one above. After a film change, three more photos were taken of O.J. standing alone and with another man (The Smoking Gun, chapter 3) prior to a game between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. Note the empty seats in the background. To insure that no one else could produce an amateur photo (one that could not have been faked), the photo fakers had to know that no one else could have taken a photo of O.J. in that stadium on that day. Denny Lynch, the Director of Public Relations for the Buffalo Bills and his assistant Bill Munson had that information. Rob McElroy, the photographer "agent" for Flammer had a pair of Bruno Magli Larenzos in 1996 that were ideal for making the fakes.

Harry Scull's Photo

E.J. Flammer's friend Harry Scull sold this photo to the National Enquirer for $17,000 in the spring of 1996. His agent's cut of the sale was $14,500. More than six months after Scull sold his photos, Flammer said that he "found" his photos. He also sold his photos to the National Enquirer for an undisclosed amount of money. He used Scull's agent, Rob McElroy.
