...didn't seem to enjoy himself much last time, but Mark Fuhrman wants another day in court. The Los Angeles police detective has filed a $50 million libel suit against the New Yorker and writer Jeffrey Toobin for a July 1994 article he says exposed him to "hatred, contempt and ridicule." The article explored his psychological records and quoted O.J. Simpson's lawyers calling him a "rogue...
Phill Coleman, the operator of a sportswear shop where detective Mark Fuhrman allegedly made racist comments ten years ago, is refusing to testify out of a concern that thetrial has become a farce. In a letter to Simpson's attorneys dated April 27, Coleman said that he feared trivialization of his testimony and would no longer meet with anybody from the defense.

Hackett says Fuhrman told her during a recent conversation, "I just can't believe that all this is happening." But as everyone who has been drawn into this surreal web is coming to learn, all's fair in the court...
...Simpson murder trial provided armchair lawyers with a week of high courtroom drama as Detective Mark Fuhrman coolly parried defense attorney F. Lee Bailey's taunting cross-examination. Fuhrman repeatedly denied having made racist statements; he also denied suggestions that he planted a bloody glove on Simpson's estate to frame the football hero. The high stakes prompted Bailey and prosecutor Marcia Clark to trade playground-ready insults, leading Judge Lance Ito to ask for an apology from each attorney and to order them not to "engage in gratuitous personal attacks upon each other." At week's end yet another...
