All those exclamation points are so cheap because they are made by Chinese slave labor.
IIRC, Fuhrman also said that since Terri's "thud" that Micheal has lived off of Terri's distress -- he hasn't really worked since, he payed for his own education, adn the "job" Micheal has at the jail is a non-job.
I didn't hear that part but do remember him saying that Schiavo is NOT liked.
Yeah, Fuhrman was emphatic about how many people he had talked to in that circle about Schiavo and yet was unable to find even one who had something good to say about Micheal.
Yeah,
He reminds me a lot of Scott Peterson.
His family says nice things about him, but that's about it.
I love Mark Furhman; and look forward to reading his analysis and findings.
Preordered Marks book. Got it yesterday. Still reading it. I should be done by tomorrow.

bvw: Yeah, Fuhrman was emphatic about how many people he had talked to in that circle about Schiavo and yet was unable to find even one who had something good to say about Micheal.
I didn't hear Fuhrman state specifically who didn't like him such as co-workers etc. I was driving and paying more attention to traffic. I know I missed stuff.
I was doing some remodeling and was wearing earmuffs, but I was trying to time the power tools to the commercial breaks.
He works (albeit nominally) at a jail? In what capacity?
Don't remember that the particulars were said by Fuhrman.
Schiavo is the jail nurse.
The Nazi cops myth
The O. J. Simpson verdict just two years later, which ended with the judgment that O. J. had been framed, was built on the assumption that LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman was a racist. When I wrote a story for Los Angeles magazine on Fuhrman's former partners, none of them, including blacks and Hispanics, believed he was racist. One black female cop who had only praise for Fuhrman begged me not to quote her because, she explained, "it would ruin my career and my life." The Oscar Joel Bryant Association, the LAPD's black officers group, would blackball her. Her kids would come home from school crying that she was an Aunt Thomasina.
In another feature I wrote for the same magazine, about L.A. cops who retired to Idaho, I brushed up against the virulent anti-cop bias of many reporters, which helped form the mindset of the O. J. jurors. So many L.A. cops retire near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, that they have an annual retired-LAPD barbecue there. Police officers move there for affordable housing, and because it is a hunter's and fisherman's paradise. But that's not what the public was told Mark Fuhrman wanted up there.
The week after Fuhrman moved to Sandpoint, Idaho, the founder of the white supremacist group Aryan Nations, Richard Butler, was quoted from nearby Hayden Lake by every national TV network, wire service, and newspaper. In each interview (a swastika visible over his shoulder), Butler claimed that cops who came to Idaho were racists. The media never questioned the assertion.
I was the only reporter who bothered to fly up to Butler's Hayden Lake "compound" (five small clapboard shacks in the middle of the woods) and ask him about his assertions.
Q: "Mr. Butler, do you know Mark Fuhrman?"
A: "Well, no."
Q: "Have you ever talked to Mark Fuhrman?"
A: "Uh, well, no."
Q: "Has Mark Fuhrman ever visited you?"
A: "No."
Q: "Is Mark Fuhrman a member of your organization?"
A: "No."
Q: "Are any cops members of your organization?"
A: "No."
Richard Butler turned out to be a pathetic, doddering old man. His "followers"--as many as two at any given time--were marginal characters more worthy of pity than fear.
But just before my trip to Idaho, the Sunday New York Times Magazine had run a cover story with a two-page photo of a Hayden Lake cross-burning. Millions of people saw that picture. What they didn't know was that only five people witnessed the event in person: Richard Butler with his German Shepherd, two of Butler's followers, and the Times photo-grapher and his assistant--for whose benefit the cross had been set aflame in the first place. Mike Feiler, managing editor of the Coeur d'Alene Press, described to me the reporters who had swarmed the area after Fuhrman's arrival: "Every one of them has come in here with marching orders, not to get the truth, but to get the story of white supremacist cops in north Idaho."
The Aryan Nations is a powerless group listened to by nobody. But the Times newspapers of Los Angeles and New York influence millions of people every day. And they rarely pass up an opportunity to lambaste "the racist LAPD" and drive a wedge into the heart of my city.
"According to Michael and his stories,"
What did he say under oath? I think the story was the same each time?
A nurse like Bill Clinton's mother?
Is his "investigation" complete if he didn't talk to MS and his friends?
With supeona power, maybe. Fuhrman, the author, can't supeona.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Clintons mother. Knowledge about him was all I could handle. ;)
I think it depended on the trial and deposition as to whether he said Terri collapsed at about 4:30 am or about 5:00 am. The call to 911 wasn't made until about 5:40 am.
A few miles up the road from me (Bucks County, PA, Micheal and Terri's original home) there was a notorious male nurse who compassionately -- yet without Judge's order -- terminated dozens of lives no worth living. He's in a jail too.
