Weird… for some random reason I was thinking of this dude and his role in that fiasco just the other day.

Have you guys watched the “American Manhunt” series on Netflix? If not, I highly recommend it. There are three. One on OJ. One on Osama Bin Laden and one on the Boston Marathon bombers. Each series has three episodes (I think?). My son got me hooked on watching them. Even though I lived through all of them, there were things I forgot about. It’s worth your time if you are looking for something to watch.

For me Mr. Fuhrman was the most compelling interviewee's on Erza Edelman's "OJ Simpson - Made in America". There's at least 2 sides to every story.

The issue with Furman was that he lied about his racist language during his career prior to the Simpson case and was slapped with perjury. The lazy interpretation (which was falsely repeated again by the airheads on local news this morning) is that Furman lied about evidence. Not true. He perjured himself on his personal record and then the defense essentially reduced him to a non-factor in the case as the lead detective.

“Never try to frame a guilty man.”

A corollary to “never sue a poor person”

In our group chat, we were commenting on what a crazy sports day it was with the Sabres vs Canadiens Game 7 in OT and the Spurs vs Thunder playoffs in OT. I said, "Now we just need a former football star to go on a slow-speed chase in a white Bronco." An hour later, I saw the post that Furman had died.

For those that don't remember or didn't know... Watch the ESPN 30 for 30 on June 17, 1994.

“For those old enough to remember”.

Boy, thanks a lot for making me feel “old” the rest of the day! For some of us “old enough to remember”, 1994 seems like yesterday.
