-NEWS ANCHOR: -Today in Trial OJ, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
lawyers argued over whether the former Heisman winner | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
is an arthritic cripple incapable of murder. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
He has bad knees, arthritis and limited mobility. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
He may look like Tarzan, but he moves like Tarzan's grandfather. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
After that, the jury got a peek at an exercise video Simpson | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
taped just two weeks before the murder. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-OJ: -Bring it all the way down! | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
-Feel it in your knees! -HOUSE PHONE RINGS | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Yeah. Love that intensity! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
-Hello? -'Is this Laura Hart-Mckinny?' -Yes. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
-How may I help you? -'The Laura Hart-McKinny who used to live in Los Angeles | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
'who has tapes of LAPD officer Mark Fuhrman?' | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
How did you find me? | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
I'm an investigator working for OJ Simpson. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
We believe our client is innocent and your tapes could really help him. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
'Well, I don't want to help him.' | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Look, I was just writing a screenplay... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
..about the LAPD. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
I met Mark and I interviewed him for research. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
So, there are tapes? What does he say? How inflammatory is it? | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-'I never asked to be a part of this.' -DIAL TONE | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
So, on the night of the murders, you were in an alleyway behind Bundy Drive | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
and you heard a commotion near Nicole Brown-Simpson's condominium? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Yes, I heard two men arguing. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
First man said, "Hey!" | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
And the second man yelled at him. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
He was hard to understand. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
And did the second voice sound as if it was older, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-more mature than the first voice? -Calls for speculation, your honour. -Sustained, foundational. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
All right, then. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
The second voice that you heard, it sounded like the voice of a black man, is that correct? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-Object to, your honour, I object! -Sustained. -This is ridiculous! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
-Sustained. Mr Darden, where are you going with this? -Your honour... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
I was asking in good faith. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
We know that the witness told the friend that he heard the angry | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
yell of an older man who sounded black. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
I resent that statement, your honour! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
You cannot tell by somebody's voice whether they are black! | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
That is a racist statement and entirely inappropriate. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Your honour, I am offended that in America, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
in 1995, that we have to endure this kind of thinking! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-All right, I didn't make the statement. The witness... -Oh, please, Mr Darden! -I... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
If this is the witness's statement, then he is the racist, not me. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-But that is what you're suggesting. -Hey, hey, hey. I suggest nothing! -Yes, you did! -I did not. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
Yes, you did. And that has created a lot of problems for myself and for my family. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-You continually make statements about me and race, Mr Cochran... -All right, stop it, both of you. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
This is all improper. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
And I'm so mad at both of you guys right now, I'm about to hold the two of you in contempt. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Let's take a recess and see who can cool off. We will resume in 15. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
What was that? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
He is so cynical. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
I mean, of course there's such thing as a black voice. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-Their accents, speech patterns... -I knew that. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
But look what happened. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
His witness was failing, so Johnny threw a racial stink bomb to deflect attention. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
That guy saw a Bronco near Bundy. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
He heard two men arguing outside the condo, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
but now the jury has completely forgotten that. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Is it true? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
Yeah. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
Tapes exist. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
I think they're really ugly. They have phrases like, uh... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-HE CLEARS THROAT -Stuff like... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
"Get niggers, frame niggers. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
"Plant evidence." | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-Jesus Christ. -Can we confirm the authenticity? -I've asked around. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Her lawyers have shot the tapes to London papers, TV tabloids. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
They've heard snippets. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Supposedly there's an offer on the table for 250 grand. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Hmm. Why didn't she sell? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
Well, that's the strange part, she doesn't actually care about the money. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
She'd rather sell her screenplay. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
She's a screenwriter. Or, well, a wannabe screenwriter. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
She was living in LA. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
She couldn't make a living, so she moved to North Carolina to teach screenwriting. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
I don't understand, how can you teach screenwriting if you can't sell a script? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Gentlemen, you are missing the point. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
I don't care who she is or what she does. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
What matters are these tapes. We must get them. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
"Get niggers, frame niggers?" | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
That takes my breath away. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
These tapes will allow Mr Simpson to walk free. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
Well, let's not... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
get too cocky. I mean, we haven't heard them. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Look, lucky breaks don't just fall from the sky. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Yes, they do, Mr Scheck. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
God brought us these tapes. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
There is something much larger at play here. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
This...is manna from heaven. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
What is the defence doing? They got Ito to sign a subpoena for what? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
13 hours of tape in North Carolina. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
I don't follow. Who is this woman? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
It just makes no sense why Fuhrman would blab | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-to an unemployed screenwriter. -Why would Fuhrman do anything? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
I'm not going to pretend like I'm surprised. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Whatever's on these tapes scares me. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Well, maybe it's meritless, fiction, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-just Fuhrman and this writer play-acting. -Hmm. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
The defence has been obsessed with creating stories for the jury | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
and lawyers resort to stories | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-to distract from the fact. -You know, Marcia, people like stories. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
It helps 'em make sense of things. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Shit! | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
CHATTER | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-Now who can deny there isn't a higher power watching over us? -Ah. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
I spent my life fighting for a cause, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
then in the biggest case of all time, with the whole world watching, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
a magical piece of paper appears. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Well, we still need to get a judge in North Carolina | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-to enforce the subpoena. -A small technicality. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
I will venture forth to secure our bounty. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Well, obviously, I will accompany you. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
I mean, I discovered Fuhrman for God's sake. I mean, I invented him. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
Hang on, Bob, I won every Fuhrman motion. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Gentlemen, we still have a case here in LA. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
I don't understand, why do more than two people have to get on the plane? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Then it should be me. I have a winning record in that jurisdiction. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-I tried over 200 cases there. -200? Really? When? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
It seems like yesterday. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
But understand this, things change really slowly down south. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
And I know the Carolinas. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Like I know the caramel colour in a single-barrel apple brandy, | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
sipped over the blush of the morning sunrise. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Oh, come on! Really?! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
I hired all of you. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
You know, whatever. I don't grovel. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Just make sure you put my name on the brief. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
Thank you, Bob. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
-This is it. -Right, let's go. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
Here are the transcripts. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-The judge will see you gentlemen shortly. -Thank you. -Thank you, sir. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-My friend, I can taste victory. -Yes! Yes. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-Shall we? -Yes. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
It's unbelievable. It's horrible! | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Horrible we can sell. Look, the bastard is nailed dead. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
He directly contradicts the trap I laid when he testified. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
Lee, it's more than that... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
it's evil! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
But this is what black people have always known. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
And now it's right here... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
for everyone to hear. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
LEE SIGHS | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Your honour, it would be a travesty | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
if these tapes were not allowed into the OJ Simpson trial. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
These tapes are tangible evidence | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
of the Los Angeles Police Department's racism. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
They are a revelation of truth. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
May I approach the bench, your honour? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
No, you cannot. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
MAN LAUGHS | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
Your honour, with all due respect, we ask you to enforce the subpoena | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
and compel Miss McKinny to turn over the tapes. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
It is important, it is imperative, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
it is indispensable that we return them to California. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
Thank you, your honour. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Mr Cochran, there are no TV cameras in my court room. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
There's no need for...gratuitous alliteration. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Your request is denied. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
These tapes are not material to your case. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Who is that man to say that they're not relevant?! | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-Johnnie... -Those tapes are proof | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
of the systematic civil rights violations. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
What black people have always known | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-and what white people have never understood. -Johnnie, calm down! | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
We'll just file an emergency appeal. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
And this time...let me do the talking. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-What?! -Mr Cochran, take a good look where you're standing. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
We're in the South. Haven't you noticed the smell of mint julep | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
and condescension in the air? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Right behind you, there's a statue | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
of a Confederate soldier holding a rifle. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
With all due respect, I don't know if you play as well in Dixie. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
LEE SIGHS | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Your honours, may I state first of all what a pleasure it is | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
to be practising law once again in the great state of North Carolina. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
My heart gladdens with the promise of justice | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
when I stand in one of the original 13 Colonies. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
From the Great Smoky Mountains to the Pimlico Sound, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
I know that fair consideration will be offered | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
to all who set foot in a Tar Heel tribunal. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
As the Bible tells us, seek and ye shall find. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
And I thank the Lord for helping us to find | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
these terribly troubling tapes. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
The court has received the tapes and transcripts. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
I will arrange for my clerk to make you copies. I presume it'll take a good amount of time | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
for all of you to wade through the materials and decide how much if any you want to introduce. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Oh, we'll want to introduce plenty, your honour. Maybe all of them. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Your honour, we will fight that. Mark Fuhrman consulting on a screenplay | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
has no bearing on a murder trial. This is just more of the defence | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
throwing conspiracy mud at the wall and seeing what sticks. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Oh, it'll stick. It'll stick with the jury, it'll stick with the public. -The public? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
-What do they have to do with this? -The truth, Marcia. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
They have a right to know. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
This isn't a smoking gun in the Simpson case, | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
this is a smoking gun for the United States. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
Your honour, I anticipate this will be just a pro-forma request. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
Actually, Mr Cochran, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
I need to review precedent and make a determination. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Until then, you and your assistants may review the tapes, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
but other than that they are to remain sealed. You understand? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
Sealed. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |

SHE SIGHS | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
-FUHRMAN: -'See, if you did it like they teach you in the Academy, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
'you'd never get a fucking thing done. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
'If the suspect doesn't talk, you give him a shot with your stick | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
'and you say, "Listen, boy, I'm talking to you." | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
'Or you just grab 'em by the hair and you keep punching 'em until they go down. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
'See, people don't want niggers in their town. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
'People don't want Mexicans. They don't want anybody but good people. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
'Any way you can do to get them out, that's fine. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
'We have no niggers where I grew up.' | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-WOMAN: -'Do you still use the chokehold? -No, we had to eliminate it | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
'because a bunch of niggers down in the south of LA complained. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
'Now, these niggers started a bunch of organisations | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
'because all the niggers got choked out and killed.' | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-The longer this trial goes, the lower your numbers drop. -I know. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
If we get to the March primary and people are still talking about OJ Simpson, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
-there's something seriously wrong with this world. -BOTH LAUGH | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
KNOCKING | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Oh, God! I think my numbers are about to fall even lower. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
Excuse me for a second. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
All right, what? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-Has Ito ruled on the tapes? -Not yet. And we're fighting to keep them out, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
but while we were reviewing them, we heard something...unexpected. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
You should sit. This is bad. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
No, I know, he hates Mexicans, he uses the N-word, he's a sexist pig, | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-he utters every racial slur known to man. -Yes, that is all true, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
but there's sort of an O Henry twist, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
somebody he hates that none of us saw coming. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
OK. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
'I hate this woman. You know the type, dyed blonde, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
'one-inch roots, slumped shoulders, a pouch big enough to hide cats in. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
'She's the only marsupial on the police force. Peggy barely worked...' | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
Wait. Whoa! Peggy? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Is he talking about Peggy Ito? Ito's wife?! | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
'It sickens me that she's a captain. I refuse to take orders from her. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
'She's as far from a policeman as I've seen. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
'Hell, she's as far from a woman as I've seen. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
'She just sucked and fucked...' | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
GIL SIGHS | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-What did he just say? -He says that she sucked... -He's saying that... | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Oh, I cannot believe this! | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-Jesus! Our star witness insulting the judge's wife?! -Yep. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
Not only does Fuhrman hate blacks, he hates Peggy York, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-the highest ranking woman in the LAPD. -Didn't she sign the affidavit? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Sure, when Ito was assigned to the case, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Peggy claimed she had no memory of any dealings with Fuhrman. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
Which seems hard to believe, since we learned | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
she reprimanded him for writing KKK on a Martin Luther King poster. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Oh, God! Oh, God! | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
Oh, God! So, which means, she can be called as a material witness. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
In which case, Ito has to disqualify himself, | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
which means we're looking at a mistrial. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
That's 6 million of taxpayer money, one year of work. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
We're looking at a mistrial? Shit! The constituents will freak out! | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
This screams...gross incompetence. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Marcia, let's take a deep breath here. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Do we want a mistrial? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Just start over, learn from our mistakes. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Do it without Fuhrman. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
We are in perilous waters. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
The prosecution can manipulate this situation. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Marcia and Chris are in trouble, their case is dying. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Suddenly, they get thrown a life preserver, Peggy on tape. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
So they game it, Ito gets tossed for the conflict, they get a new trial. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-Jesus! -A complete do-over. -Wait a minute, try the case again? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-We can't. We can't live through this again! -And they could move the trial | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-back to Santa Monica and get a white jury. -And this time, they don't call Fuhrman. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
The LAPD doesn't get tarnished and the tapes never get played. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
This scenario is unthinkable! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
We are this close to them being admitted. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
Does Ito even know yet? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-My wife is mentioned on these tapes? -Yes, your honour. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
And it's quite derogatory. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-Terrible things. -It's a delicate situation for all of us. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
Delicate how? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
The interactions Fuhrman described, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
given their explosive vocabulary, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
would seem to make it hard for Peggy to forget 'em. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
So the implication is that Peggy lied so that I could be on this case? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
ITO SIGHS | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
This whole situation is toxic. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
All right, I don't want there to be any insinuation that we tried to keep this contained, | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
so this conversation should continue in open court. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
Thank you. If you'll excuse me. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-Your honour. -Thank you. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
A concern has been raised regarding the court's ability | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
to be fair and impartial. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
It could be argued that the court... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
would not want the court's wife to be embarrassed. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
And what's unfortunate... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
is that things are said about people all the time, | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
things that are not accurate, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
not kind, disparaging. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
I love my wife dearly. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
And I am... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
wounded by criticism of her as any spouse would be. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
And... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
..I think that it would be reasonable to assume | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
that that could have some impact. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Women who work in male-dominated professions, I think, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
are tougher than most. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
And if they are successful, they are almost always... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
targets for this kind of treatment. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
There is also an argument that this court in ruling | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
might be motivated to punish Detective Fuhrman | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
for making these statements about his wife. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
So it cuts both ways. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
This may be a conflict for me, which could trigger a mistrial, so... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
..I think that another judge has to determine | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
whether or not this case can remain before this court. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
HUBBUB | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
This is insane! You couldn't get away with this plot twist in an airport paperback! | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
So...what shall we do? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Chris, I've been thinking about this constantly. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
And the problem is it's too risky. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
If it is perceived that we pushed for mistrial, it would trigger double jeopardy. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
And in that version OJ walks. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Can you imagine the public reaction? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
What, you think I wouldn't want a do over? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
I would love to do over all my mistakes, do over my life, | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
do over my marriage. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
We have to plough forward. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
Your Honour, we don't want to leave our court. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
We fought to get the tapes. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
They are hard evidence. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
The district attorney's star witness was caught lying under oath. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
He committed perjury. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Now, the part that relates to the judge's wife | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
is very, very small. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
And because we don't want a mistrial, we propose | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
that the tapes be given to Judge Ito | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
with that part redacted. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
Well... | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
I'm going to require time to review this constellation of tapes | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
and transcripts and records. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
Only after I have a comprehensive understanding, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
can I make a decision. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
ELEVATOR DINGS | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
Got to wait for this judge to get a "comprehensive understanding." | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
How long? Things cannot be left to whim. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Cochran, you have to trust the system. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
We need to turn up the pressure. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Pressure?! | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
You want to turn up the pressure?! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
This city is about to explode! | 0:21:49 | 0:21:50 | |
We have enough pressure! | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
I told you NOT to use Fuhrman! | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
How many times did I say it? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
He's damaged goods. I mean, I said it and I said it, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
but you just didn't take me seriously! | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
You know, you put me on this trial because you wanted a black face, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
but the truth is, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:36 | |
you never wanted a black voice. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
Good afternoon. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
I'd like to introduce members of our coalition. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Miss Geraldine Washington, President of the local NAACP, | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
Mr John Mack, head of the Urban League, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
Mr Danny Bakewell, of the Brotherhood Crusade, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
and the esteemed Reverend Frank Higgins | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
of the Baptist Ministers' Conference. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Can we give them all a round of applause, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
as our speaker of the hour comes to the podium. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
We demand an immediate federal and State investigation of these tapes. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Yeah! | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
We demand full disclosure to calm a community unsettled | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
by the reports of their content. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Yeah! | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
-It goes way beyond OJ. -Yeah! | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
People are angry that these tapes confirm what we've always known... | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
Yeah! | 0:23:37 | 0:23:38 | |
..racist officers unjustly imprison, beat and kill African-Americans | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
and other people of colour. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
Oh, my God, this is terrible. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
I tried to stop him. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
I want our leaders to listen... | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
and to listen very carefully. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Release these tapes. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
CHEERING | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
Because this community is a powder keg | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
capable of repeating the actions of 1992. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
-Release the tapes! -Release the tapes! | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
-CROWD: -Release the tapes! | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Jesus, Johnnie's threatening another riot. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Release the tapes! -CROWD: -Release the tapes! | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
-Release the tapes! -Release the tapes! | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
-Release the tapes! -Release the tapes! | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
SHOUTING | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
-REPORTER: -'In the OJ Simpson trial, a court handed down a decision | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
'that Judge Ito will be able to rule on the Mark Fuhrman tapes. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
'A hearing is scheduled for today and a ruling is expected soon | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
'on the highly controversial and incendiary tapes.' | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Your Honour... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
this issue can be decided with dispatch. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
We will present portions of that transcript that are relevant | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
to the credibility of Detective Fuhrman. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
30 occasions in which he uses the word "nigger" | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
in a racially offensive context and which directly contradict | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
the testimony he presented under oath. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
We will also present an additional 17 extracts | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
where Detective Fuhrman speaks with personal experience | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
about police misconduct - planting of evidence, | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
commission of perjury | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
and the presentation of cover-ups | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
and false testimony in court proceedings. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do as a prosecutor. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
I don't want to be in the position of defending Mark Fuhrman. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
My job is to defend Ron and Nicole. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
The victims. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
But the bottom line is not Fuhrman, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
it's the concrete evidence. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
The defence just wants to inflame the jury, | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
so they forget about the facts and vote emotionally. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
I hope this very cynical view will be proven wrong | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
and the jury will rise to the occasion and say, | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
"No. We are going to look at the evidence." | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
Because the rest of this stuff is irrelevant. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
I submit these cases, numerous cases, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
where racial epithets were deemed immaterial. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
I beg of you, your Honour, act on precedent. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
DO NOT let the jurors hear these tapes. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
I am begging you from my soul. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
"Anything out of a nigger's mouth, the first five sentences | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
"is a lie. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:33 | |
"People don't want Mexicans, they don't want anybody but good people." | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
Does Ito have an impossible decision on his hands? | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
The judge has no choice. He HAS to play the tapes. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
They exist. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
I don't envy the guy. Pardon my French, | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
but he's screwed either way. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:27:54 | 0:27:55 | |
All rise. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Department 103 is now in session. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
The Honourable Lance A Ito presiding. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
Morning. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:09 | |
Over the recess, I've had the opportunity to contemplate | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
the issues at hand. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Now, I have not yet decided what tape extracts | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
are appropriate for the jury to hear. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
However, I think that there is an overriding public interest | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
in the defence's offer | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
and I don't want there to be any impression that the court | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
would ever suppress any information. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
These tapes... | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
..have become a matter of national concern. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
Many entities have asked that they become public, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
so what I'm going to suggest... | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
That the defence play its presentation to the court | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
in its entirety. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
National concern? | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
This is a double homicide, your Honour, not Iran-Contra! | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
Miss Clark, the court in its wisdom has made a determination. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
Why do we have to broadcast this? | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
Truth, Miss Clark, the truth! | 0:29:06 | 0:29:07 | |
The court hides nothing from the people. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
You've presented a defence that is based completely on lies | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
and deceptions. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
This teasing the public, the media, | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
by throwing them bits of the tapes, | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
inflaming the public's passions in an attempt | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
to exert political pressure over his Honour | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
in an attempt to pressure the court into admitting in | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
-the Fuhrman tapes. -Mr Darden... | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
This case is a circus! | 0:29:29 | 0:29:30 | |
And the defence has made it into a circus | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
and the court has allowed them to walk all over... | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
Mr Darden, you are close to being held in contempt! | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
Well, I should be held in contempt! | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
Jesus. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:40 | |
There's NOTHING funny here! | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
Mr Darden. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
Chris, calm down. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:46 | |
Don't. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
Mr Darden! | 0:29:50 | 0:29:51 | |
Mr Darden! | 0:29:51 | 0:29:52 | |
I am warning you, a good piece of advice - | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
take three deep breaths then contemplate | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
what you are about to say next. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
I don't like counsel, your Honour. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
All right, Mr Darden, you can have counsel. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
Do you wish to call your counsel at this time, Mr Darden? | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
I would like to be heard on behalf of Mr Darden, your Honour. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:50 | |
Miss Clarke, do you represent Mr Darden in this matter? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
I don't know if I'm legally entitled to, but I would like to be heard. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:58 | |
Mr Darden is simply responding to the unfair events | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
that have occurred in this court room today and other days. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
The court has been exploited by counsel for cross-purposes. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
Miss Clark, I think perhaps you need to take ten deep breaths, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
for you also are about to be held in contempt. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
Shall I take off my watch and jewellery? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
Your Honour... | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
..perhaps some of my comments may have been | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
somewhat inappropriate. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
I apologise to the court. I meant no disrespect. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
All right, Mr Darden, I accept your apology. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
I apologise to you for my reaction as well. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
You and I have known each other for a number of years | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
and I know that your response was out of character, so thank you. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
Thank you, your Honour. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
CHANTING: No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace! | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
Yeah. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
Yeah! | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
Let's go, after you. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
Johnnie! Johnnie! | 0:32:38 | 0:32:40 | |
Yes! | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Thank you for coming. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:43 | |
Yes, no justice, no peace. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
No justice... | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
-TAPE RECORDING: -I was first unit on the scene. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
Four suspects ran into an apartment in the projects. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
We kicked a door down, I grabbed a girl that lived there, | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
grabbed her by the hair and stuck a gun to her head | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
and used her as a barricade. I walked up and I said, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
"I've got this girl, I'll blow her fucking brains out | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
"if you come out with a gun." | 0:33:25 | 0:33:26 | |
I held her, then I threw the bitch down the stairs. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
-TAPE RECORDING: -Can we use that in the story? | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
It hasn't been seven years. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:33 | |
Statute of limitations. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
I have 300 and something pages of internal affairs investigation | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
just on that one incident. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:39 | |
We basically tortured those guys, we broke their bones | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
until their faces were mush. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
There was blood all the way to the ceiling and fingermarks, | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
like they were trying to crawl out. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
It was unbelievable. There was blood everywhere. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
How do you intellectualise when you punch the hell | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
out of a nigger? | 0:33:53 | 0:33:54 | |
He either deserves it or he doesn't. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
Falsifying a report, whatever. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
That's putting a criminal in jail. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
That's being a policeman. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
And does that police station have the smell of niggers? | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
They've been beaten and killed in there for 30 years. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
Immediately after we beat those guys, we found a garden hose | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
in the back. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:12 | |
We had blood all over us. With a dark blue uniform, | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
you don't see it, but we had to wash our hands. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
Looked like red paint. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Cleaned our badges, cleaned our faces. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:23 | |
Then we went out to direct traffic. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
'What happened in there... | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
'This is now the Fuhrman trial. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
'This is not a trial...' | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
..about the man that murdered my son! | 0:34:57 | 0:35:02 | |
We came to this court months ago. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
You know, I just realised something. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
What's that? | 0:35:09 | 0:35:10 | |
Mark Fuhrman's initials are MF. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
I guess that's funny. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:16 | |
But I don't feel like laughing. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
It seems like... | 0:35:24 | 0:35:25 | |
Like it's all over. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
Ito could save our asses. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
He could decide it's all irrelevant | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
and not let the jurors hear anything. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:36 | |
Come on, Marcia, they'll hear. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
A couple of conjugal visits is all it takes. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
..the fact that he is a bad police officer... | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
You deserved better. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:04 | |
I know I'm too stubborn. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
I always refuse to back down. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
It's a problem. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:15 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
I shouldn't have bet on Fuhrman. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
Well, if we're apologising... | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
..then I'm sorry as shit about those gloves. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
Guess we should have listened to each other. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
I got some work to do. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:09 | |
These tapes expose the ugly reality of the LAPD. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
It can never again be denied, and we only hope and pray | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
-that Chief Williams... -KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
..follows through on his promise of change. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
I trust that's enough for your story and thank you. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
Ito is releasing the decision. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:37:36 | 0:37:37 | |
Come on, come on, come on. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
No, give me, give me, give me. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
-No. -No! -No. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:52 | |
No, it's a nightmare. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
Ito shafted us. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:55 | |
He's disallowing all the beatings, all the manufacture of evidence. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
My, God, he's only allowing in two sentences - | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
"We have no niggers where I grew up" and "That's where niggers live." | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
-All Ito cares about is... -BOTH: -The perjury. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Fuhrman testified that he didn't say the word, | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
-so two sentences prove otherwise. -What about the other 13 hours? | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
"Their value is overwhelmingly outweighed | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
"by the danger of undue prejudice." | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
"Prejudice", that's a hell of a word to use. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
Bring the whole team down here and call up every network! | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
Shawn, dry them tears, girl! Let's go! | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
13 hours of tapes down to two sentences. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
In the history of American jurisprudence... | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Johnnie, stop! | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
You're turning this into a referendum. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:32 | |
Now, granted, it's a mixed decision, but Ito's given us | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
enough to work with. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:36 | |
Bob, you're blind. He's knocked out the manufacturing of evidence. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
That's what gets us to the planted glove. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
I appreciate your passion, but we've been hired | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
to defend a client, not to burn down a city. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
Now, I'm sorry that you're disappointed | 0:38:46 | 0:38:47 | |
and I understand everything... | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
No, you don't! It's impossible. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
There is no way you can understand what this is like, Bob. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
It's one of the cruellest, unfairest decisions ever rendered. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
It lends credence to all those who say the criminal justice system | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
is corrupt. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:08 | |
Now, Judge Ito is misleading this jury. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
All the world knows who Mark Fuhrman really is, | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
except our jury. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
Our jury will be left in the dark. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
OJ Simpson has been wrongly accused and framed | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
and the cover-up continues. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
Now, I know that many people share in our anger. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
But the citizens of Los Angeles should remain calm. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:38 | |
Here, baby. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:46 | |
Thank you. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:47 | |
I'm still trembling. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:54 | |
I'd hoped to accomplish so much. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:01 | |
Johnnie... | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
you have. Johnnie, you have. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:05 | |
Those two lines say plenty. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
I feel like I failed. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:15 | |
All those hours of tape... | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
and the jury will only hear 12 words. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
But the world, they heard the whole truth. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:31 | |
To hell with OJ Simpson, he is an imperfect vessel, | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
but you, you... | 0:40:37 | 0:40:38 | |
..got your message out there. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:41 | |
I'm proud of you, Johnnie. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
ANGRY SHOUTS | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
ANGRY SHOUTS | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
CAMERAS CLICKING | 0:41:18 | 0:41:23 | |
We call Detective Mark Fuhrman to resume the witness stand. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
It's hard to be hated by both sides. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
It takes a man of certain character. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
All right, good afternoon, Detective. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
Good afternoon, your Honour. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:40 | |
You are reminded, Detective, that you are still under oath. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
Mr Cochran, you may proceed. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:45 | |
Thank you, your Honour. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
Detective Fuhrman, was the testimony you gave | 0:43:06 | 0:43:09 | |
at the preliminary hearing in this case completely truthful? | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
I wish to assert my Fifth Amendment privilege. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
Detective Fuhrman, have you ever falsified a police report? | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
I wish to assert my Fifth Amendment privilege. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
Detective Fuhrman, is it your intention to | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
assert your Fifth Amendment privilege | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
with respect to all questions I may ask? | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
Yes. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:45 | |
Your Honour, may I have a moment? | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
-Of course. -Thank you. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:48 | |
WHISPERING AND CHATTER | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
Your Honour, can we curtail this performance piece? | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
The witness has already made clear that he will not | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
answer any further questions. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
Actually, your Honour, may I ask just one last question? | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
Thank you. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:07 | |
Detective Fuhrman... | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
did you plant or manufacture any evidence in this case? | 0:44:14 | 0:44:17 | |
I assert my Fifth Amendment privilege. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:30 | |
SIGHS | 0:44:30 | 0:44:31 | |
No further questions, your Honour. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
Thank you. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:43 | |
Yeah. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:50 | |
OJ LAUGHS | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
Johnnie is a genius! | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
Did you see what happened in there? | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
Oh, man! Fuhrman framed me! | 0:45:06 | 0:45:07 | |
He framed me! | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
That was something, huh? | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
Yeah, it was a real success for the defence. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
Well, I won't be wearing these much longer. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
Oh, man, that was magical! | 0:45:17 | 0:45:18 | |
Johnnie's got charisma, man! Ooh! | 0:45:20 | 0:45:22 | |
Oh, that was something! | 0:45:22 | 0:45:23 | |
Oh. | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:45:26 | 0:45:27 | |
Bobby, have a good night. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:31 | |
Wow. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:33 | |
Wow. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:34 | |
Marcia, I've been looking for you. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:39 | |
-The ruling just came in. -The ruling? | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
What did Ito do now? | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
Ito? No, the ruling of your divorce. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
I got primary custody. | 0:45:58 | 0:45:59 | |
So, you got everything. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:02 |
