Simpson Proclaims Innocence
In Mail Order Video
O J Sim pson, in his mail order
video, said a key detective investi­
gating the deaths o f his ex-w ife and
her friend planted a bloody glove on
his estate and sm eared blood inside
his car to frame him.
I he ex-football hero proclaim ed
in the video custom ers began receiv­
ing last week that he is innocent in the
June 12, 1994 killings o f N icole
B row n S im p so n an d h er frie n d
Ronald G oldm an. He w as acquitted
by a jury last October.
In the tw o-and-a-half-hour video,
which sells for $29.95, S im pson
frankly adm itted that in addition to
telling his side o f the story he hoped
the tape would help him recoup the
vast sums he spent on his defense in
the crim inal trial.
In the 90 m inutes o f the tape d e­
voted to an interview with television
journalist Ross Becker, he said he
was framed by Los A ngeles police
detective M ark Fuhrm an, w ho testi­
fied during the trial to findinga bloody
glove on the grounds o f S im pson’s
estate in the B rentw ood neighbor­
hood o f Los Angeles.
Asked by B ecker if he believed
Fuhrman planted the glove, Sim pson
replied, “ I’m totally 100 percent
convinced that he d id .”
He also alleged that Fuhrm an was
behind the presence o f blood from
N icole Simpson and G oldm an in Sim ­
p so n 's w hite Ford B ronco parked
outside his estate the day after the
m urders.
“ I subm it there is no w ay M ark
Fuhrm an could have seen those blood
spots unless he w as in the B ronco,”
Sim pson said. A sked why Fuhrm an
w ould have tried to fram e him, he
replied, "W hy w ould he w ant to get
any black man or M exican A m eri­
can?”
D uring the trial, defense w itness­
es testi fled that Fuhrm an had a hatred
for blacks and M exican-A m ericans
and w ould go out o f his way to m ake
up evidence against them.
Fuhrm an, who retired during the
trial, is currently under investigation
by the U.S. Justice D epartm ent for
possible m isconduct and by the state
A ttorney G en eral’s office for p o ssi­
ble perjury.
Sim pson accused the Los A ngeles
Police D epartm ent o f taking part in
the alleged fram eup. “O bviously,
people in the L.A.P.D. w ent out o f
their way to m ake me look gui Ity,” he
said in the video.
Make A Difference - Teach!
He also expressed com passion for
the fam ilies o f the tw o victim s, who
are suing him in a civil wrongful
death lawsuit, but added, “ I lost m ore
than you did. I lost a person that I
loved. I’ve lost my life.”
The form er athlete who becam e a
T V c o m m e n ta to r a n d n a tio n a l
spokesm an for a rental car com pany
has lost both those jo b s because o f
the m urder case and said he has been
deprived o f the ability "to provide
for the people around m e.”
Sim pson also challenged deputy
district attorney M arcia C lark, the
lead pro secu to r in the m urder case,
to sit dow n and talk with him. "T o ­
m orrow , if M arcia C lark w ould sit
dow n and talk to me, she can film it,
as long as I can m arket it. She can
film it and ask m e w hatever she w ants
to ask m e and I’ll answ er every q u es­
tio n ,” he said.
Sim pson was rep o rted ly paid a
fiat $3 m illion fee for m aking the
video and wi II not take any part o f the
proceeds.
Tony H offm an, the head o f H&K
LLC Productions, w hich produced
the tape, w ould not say how many
videos had been ordered but added
that sales w ere doing well.

A ssociation has sought to preserve
the school and return it to active use
since the Portland School District
closed it in 1977.
In 1993, the district turned the
property over to the city o f Portland
as part o f a com plex series o f land
and property exchanges involving
several governm ent entities.
Last year, the city aw arded the
property to the M cM enamins, find­

most closely with com munity goals,
and were most likely to be realized.
