Fuhrman: Grand Jury should probe Terri Schiavo case (if Fla. won't, then US DOJ should, he says)

Newsmax ^ | July 1 05 | Mark Fuhrman

[mware]

I would rather the DOJ check into it.

[Cicero]

What Florida officials have the power to call a grand jury in this case? Does it depend on Piniellas County? Are any of those with the authority to call a grand jury honest, or will they prefer to toe the liberal line?

[sgtbono2002]

Mark Fuhrman, discredited perjurer at the OJ trial has somehow wangled his way into being a talking head and writing books. What is his claim to fame other than being a crappy detective who couldnt find evidence on OJ and then lying when asked if he ever used the N word? Now he has found a subject where many people can be stirred up easily and is using it to carry on making a buck out of others misfortunes.

Listening to Fuhrman dissecting other detectives on TV is a bit like listening to Ted Kennedy speak on morals.

I would rather the people who are calling for her husband's head get a grip.

Times must really be bad for Fuhrman if he has to pimp the Terri story.

[Rex_Ruthless]

My choice for the book title would be "The Three Scams of Michael Schavo."

Scam #1: avoiding being investigated for T.S's injuries;

Scam #2: succeeding at getting malpractice judgement money;

Scam #3: getting the system to kill T.S., thereby keeping the money for himself.

[OldFriend]

It was Hannity who got Fuhrman involved.

Since Fuhrman is a FNC contributor I guess Hannity calls the shots.

Pathetic.

[mware]

Tell that to Michael Skakel.

I would rather the people who are calling for her husband's head get a grip.

I would rather see Lady Justice get a grip on Michael Schiavo, who murdered his wife so he could put her away AND keep all of her money. That the unfaithful husband's chief accomplices wore judges' robes does not make them any less guilty.

[WatchOutForSnakes]

Thank you. It's easy to criticize somebody when you don't have the facts. Just call a bunch of names and see if it sticks. Luckily, some of us on here know Fuhrmans part in the Skakel case.

[Always A Marine]

What is his claim to fame other than being a crappy detective who couldnt find evidence on OJ...?

There was plenty of evidence to convict OJ. But a jury of black women refused to convict him for murdering a white woman who "stole" a black man. Fuhrman's record as a detective is quite stellar -- and as a previous poster mentioned, wrote an investigative book that served as the prosecution's roadmap for the murder trial and conviction of Michael Skakel.

You might not like him, and that's your choice. But Fuhrman had OJ nailed dead to right.

[isthisnickcool]

Fuhrman's work put a Kennedy in prison.

The OJ trial was jury nullification, plain and simple.

Furhman was a marine and then was with the LA PD for many years. Working some of the roughest spots in LA. He received numerous comendations.

He's a good investigator. He did screw up by saying he never said the "N Word" but that hardly made OJ guilty.

[varon]

..........then lying when asked if he ever used the N word...........

So, lying about the use of and actual use of the N word is a cardinal sin which casts doubts on a person's competency. By those standards then, most of the blacks and a large percentage of whites are incompetent boobs because they either have used the N word or are using it.

If you're hell bent on fingering incompetence in the OJ trial, look no farther than the jury.

[mountaineer1997]

Mark Fuhrman is an articulate and intelligent speaker and writer. I just finished his book on Terri Schindler Schiavo, and consider it excellent. The second printing should have the autopsy results analyzed by Fuhrman.

Fox Cable has gotten pretty bad lately. When I scan with my TIVO device, Mark Fuhrman is the one that keeps my interest. O'Reilly usually is good for 5 minutes max; Hannity/Colmes is good for 5-7 minutes viewing; Greta has been fair reporting from Aruba, confronting police chief. Her show deserves about 7 minutes using TIVO.

[Sabatier]

You're right on all points. I think Fuhrman has gone a long way to restore his reputation with these books he's written.

He does a good job with the timeline in the Terri Schiavo book. He writes about the inconsistencies in Michael's accounts of Terri's collapse, like Michael saying he cradled Terri in his arms after he found her on the floor, but Bobby, Terri's brother, saying that when he showed up Terri was face down on the floor. Did Michael pick Terri up and then put her back down on her face?

One inconsistency by itself is not anything to wonder at but when you have a bunch of them it's worth looking at. That's what Fuhrhman did with his book and he did a good job.

[Aussie Dasher]

Whoever investigates this case must ensure we never again see any judge order the murder of an innocent human being, in the face of opposition from the President, Governor, and Congress.

[Micheal's] head ... get a grip

Great idea.

[True Republican Patriot]

Lets add Scam #4: Destroying the Evidence

[bvw]

Pathetic, righto ... that Florida allows two murderers to waltz as free men is pathetic! Greer and Schiavo.
