Murder in Brentwood
by Mark Fuhrman
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Jun 2026 on Behind the Bastards.
The general take
Robert Evans treats Murder in Brentwood as a legitimate source document worth citing, highlighting it as a place where Mark includes significant historical letters like one from LAPD chief Daryl Gates during the O.J. Simpson trial. He doesn't offer strong praise or criticism, just matter-of-factly references it as useful material for understanding that era.
About
For O.J. Simpson to get away with murder, an innocent cop, a brilliant detective, had to be destroyed. That was the cynical strategy of the Simpson defense. But as certainty about Simpson's guilt grew, so did the outrage about the scapegoating of Mark Fuhrman. Now the former LAPD detective tells his side of the story in a damning expose. Fuhrman takes the listener on a detective's journey through the crucial first 24 hours of the investigation. We uncover not only the bloody glove but also explosive new evidence recorded by Fuhrman and his partner at the scene but astonishingly never presented at the trial. New revelations about the incompetence and corruption that pervaded the "Trial of the Century" will set the record straight.
