Prosecutor Clark has insisted that Fuhrman is role-playing "a bad boy" on the tapes-and that, in any case, the issue of Fuhrman's racism is irrelevant to Simpson's guilt or innocence. Private investigator Anthony Pellicano, who worked for Michael Jackson during his legal troubles and now works for Fuhrman, also declared last week, echoing Clark, that the tapes just show Fuhrman "talking a lot of trash.
