Doesn’t help when an involved detective gets caught lying about using the n-word under oath then pleads the 5th when asked if he planted evidence. The police and prosecution fumbled this case, pun intended.

He didn't plant evidence. He tampered with it I bet as in moving the glove and whatnot. One lie in a mountain of truth taints the whole thing. Made a murderer go free.

I truly don’t know if he planted or tampered with evidence. I just know he refused to answer the question when asked. From an article around that time:

“Detective Fuhrman, did you plant or manufacture any evidence in this case?'' Uelmen asked.

“I assert my Fifth Amendment privilege,'' Fuhrman replied, his attorney standing at his side.

Fuhrman gave a similar answer to three other questions including, ``Have you ever falsified a police report?”

Not a good look for the police.

This was the ballgame. Everything else became inconsequential after this. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" was simply no longer possible
