...both works, details of the lawyers' behind-the-scenes machinations remain strangely compelling. Darden describes a jaunt to the Bahamas, where he unsuccessfully pursued a tip that Simpson was planning to flee there the day of the Bronco chase, and both writers float rumors that juror Francine Florio-Bunten was dismissed under suspicious circumstances. Shapiro also reveals that the defense team offered to have Simpson take a lie detector test at the outset, knowing full well that the prosecution would never agree to admit the results, whatever they were, into evidence.

"Well, that's what other Democrats thought when they talked the talk but then didn't deliver. Those guys, like ((New Jersey Governor Jim)) Florio, fooled us the first time around. We weren't foolish the second time. Florio didn't lose because the black vote was suppressed. He lost because blacks were depressed and didn't vote...
