Furman is dead-on. The prosecution in that case was terrible. Marcia Clark was never supposed to be the lead prosecutor. The guy who was assigned the case in the beginning had a heart attack, and Clark was supposed to be only temporarily in charge, but when the guy was well enough to go back to work, she refused to step aside, and Gil Garcetti, the head DA out there , backed her. Clark was an arrogant bitch. She totally alienated the women on the jury, most of whom were black. She refused to call a key witness, one who saw the white Bronco speeding away from the murder scene, because the woman gave a TV interview. And the other ADA of note, Chris Darden, was an incompetent fool who let F. Lee Bailey bait him into pulling that idiotic "try on the glove" stunt. It was a totally no-win stunt. I guarantee you that if the glove did fit OJ, every lawyer on the defense team would have put that glove on too, to show that it fit them as well.
