Well, I'll say this, I know Mark Fuhrman and he knows more about investigating homicides than just about anybody in the world.

But having said that, he would be incorrect with his position. While they could easily take a tox screen rather quickly, they are waiting for a gas chromatology report that does take at least a week to know the amount of drugs and exactly what drug was in her system when she died. A tox screen would only determine the type of drug (opiate, Etc.)

I would also say that I think the medical examiner probably already knows what drug was in her system but is not saying publicly for one of two reasons. One would be not to embarrass her family or two, because there is reason to believe it was a homicide and that by keeping that secret only the murderer and the police would know what that drug was.

Based on the way they have trampled all over Smith's privacy from the get go, I'm doubting that it was the first reason.

That's pretty much what I said in the e-mail and asked that it be passed along to him (yeah, like that'll happen) so he won't go around saying that on every show he's on. I think he's the best, usually.
