1999 CNN story about LAPD cases being thrown out because of testimony of evidence tampering. If the Rampart Division had a history of faking evidence in order to win convictions, how short a leap to conclude that Fuhrman and Van Natta also knew how to fabricate evidence, including mixing O J's blood (with preservative already present) in the DNA evidence that allegedly proved that O J was at the crime scene.

Goes to "beyond a reasonable doubt", your honor.

Those cases are not evidence in the Simpson trial. I do not doubt that the LAPD has problems but there was no credible evidence of tampering in the Simpson trial. The combination of physical evidence, injuries to Simpson, circumstantial evidence, and Simpon’s flight were overwhelming.
