Former Los Angeles police detective and infamous OJ Simpson investigator Mark Fuhrman joined Art to discuss his career and book Murder In Brentwood, which told his side of the Simpson murder case. During the proceedings, Fuhrman was accused of planting evidence (which he plea bargained) and racist remarks. He described his early work with street gangs, and his suggestions to prevent them from forming and thriving, including his stance against drug legalization. He then described what it was like to be a police officer and how he and others were affected by their work.

He remarked that many of the books written about the trial were authored by people who “sat in the courtroom and really knew nothing about the inner workings of the case” and by “people who had to defend a man who was clearly guilty of a double homicide that had to make up any fantasy they could.” He also said that tapes which surfaced with racist remarks he made years prior was part of research for a screenplay and were presented out of context.

He said the OJ case was “lost in the first 12 hours” due to an investigator who Fuhrman claimed never looked at his “detailed notes” about the crime scene and bungled the subsequent inquiry. Fuhrman emphasized that he “didn’t do anything wrong in the investigation.” In the latter part of the show, Art opened up the phone lines for Fuhrman. The last hour featured Open Lines.
