- THE FUHRMAN TAPES
-
- When working on her screenplay, screenwriter Laura Hart
- McKinny interviewed Detective Mark Fuhrman to gather first-
- hand-information about policework. Although she was writing
- a fictional story, she wanted to base it on reality. During
- these taped conversations, Fuhrman made numerous racial
- remarks and also talked about framing people and planting
- evidence. Judge Ito ruled that only two parts of these
- conversations were admissible, two parts where Fuhrman used
- the so-called "N-word". Detective Fuhrman is the officer
- who jumped the gate to Simpson´s property and later found
- the bloody glove. Here are some excerpts of the tapes:
-
- ... When I left, Dana goes, "No blood, Mark." "No problem.
- Not even any Marks, Dana." Just body shots. Did you ever
- try to find a bruise on a Nigger? It is pretty tough, huh?
-
- ... We stopped the choke because a bunch of Niggers have
- a bunch of these organizations in the South End and
- because all Niggers were choked out and killed - twelve
- in ten years. Really extraordinary, isn´t it?
-
- ... First thing, anything out of a Nigger´s mouth for the
- first five or six sentences is a lie. That is just right
- out. There has got to be a reason why he is going to tell
- you the truth.
