76. If the star prosecution witness in my case was a racist who lied about it
I'd play it too. The jury is entitled to hear anything that might be prejudicial to the defendant. The fact that Mark Fuhrman had other things in his record that indicated he would do anything to obtain a conviction WAS material and relevant to his evidence gathering in the Simpson case.

Granted it's not the high road, but a defense attorney is not paid to take the high road, he is paid to defend his client. Cochran did that well.

Furthermore, the day the verdict was read, all I could say to my white Orange County friends was, "Now you know how it felt for them when every white supremacist in the south walked."
