...most devastating information provided by Kardashian in American Tragedy concerns a lie detector test that he says Simpson took two days after the murders. The test was arranged by Robert Shapiro, one of Simpson's lawyers, and was intended to help the defense. According to American Tragedy, Simpson scored a "minus 22," failing virtually every question asked about the murders. Simpson said, "Every time I heard Nicole's name, my heart would beat so fast, it would race, you know?" Apart from the matter of personal loyalty, it violates the professional code of ethics for a lawyer to ever reveal...
...Kardashian confessed to Schiller his concern that the blood evidence points to Simpson; he offered up what he claimed was defense attorney Shapiro's theory of how Simpson committed the murders, and he described how the defense team redid Simpson's home before the jury visit, taking down photographs of white women and putting up pictures of black women, including Norman Rockwell's famous painting of a black girl being escorted to school by federal marshals. Cochran told Time that this anecdote is "an absolute lie." But Willwerth says they had it from three different sources, and Schiller...

In other words, any attorney-client stuff would be taken out." Peter Neufeld, another member of the defense team, adds, "There is no question that Mr. Schiller and Mr. Kardashian have fraudulently obtained information under false pretenses from various people." Schiller denies there was any agreement about vetting American Tragedy. The only agreement Schiller says he made was to allow the lawyers to check their quotes for accuracy...
...They answered my questions. The validity of the work is in the work at the end." Most mainstream journalists would disagree with Schiller, but it must be said, his is the fullest and most vivid account of the Simpson trial so far. Bailey says Simpson isn't bitter toward Kardashian: "He says he understands that Bob had to do this...
