newsMay 18, 202618886

Mark Fuhrman, the former Los Angeles Police Department detective WHO helped investigate the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, died at 74 from throat cancer. Fuhrman’s credibility collapsed during the O.J. Simpson murder trial after recorded racist slurs surfaced and he pleaded no contest to perjury in 1996, a conviction that undercut the prosecution and helped lead to Simpson’s acquittal. Fuhrman remained a controversial symbol of questions about police credibility, racial bias, and evidence handling in high-profile criminal cases.

Aside from being a racist he likely made the Not Guilty verdict possible through his efforts to frame à guilty man.

Interesting reunion in Hell tonight

If you are a person mad OJ got away with murder, Mark Fuhrman is the man directly responsible.

Oh ok. So I’m still undecided on wether to make lasagna (it’s so hot today) or maybe just a Greek salad for dinner tonight.

Furman was one of the first right wing nasties who loudly moved to north idaho, beginning a wave that hasn't stopped. He ruined the place.

May Mark Fuhrman’s memory forever remain the stain that it was and is. “Mark Fuhrman's racist comments, heard on tape and read from transcripts yesterday at O. J. Simpson's murder trial, have exposed deep racial divisions within Los Angeles and its police force.” www.nytimes.com/1995/08/31/u...

He's a celebrity like Kyle Rittenhouse is a celebrity, famous for being a terrible person whose only claim to fame is an evil act.

He will not be missed. He was a racist with a badge.

Lying racist dies of throat cancer is some type of poetic justice, I guess.

I was always told that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything. So I'm not saying anything.

Good riddance to a corrupt cop.

And if there’s any doubt about the guy’s character, the Kootenai county sheriff is a retired LA County sheriff’s deputy. The LASD has a notorious issue with racism, and literally has its own gangs.

Mama said only speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good.

I can’t believe cnn had him on as a law enforcement expert after the trial.
