Murder in Brentwood
Murder in Brentwood | Mark Fuhrman
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
For audiences of the popular FX television series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," based on Jeffrey Toobin's "The Run of His Life" and starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Travolta, David Schwimmer, and Courtney B. Vance. Named on "Vogue Magazine"'s ""American Crime Story" Reading List" as one of the "eight definitive books on the trial of the century." Twenty years ago, America was captivated by the awful drama of the O.J. Simpson trial. The Simpson "Dream Team" legal defense had a seemingly impossible task: convincing a jury that their client was innocent of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In order for O.J. Simpson to get away with murder, the defense attorneys had to destroy the reputation of Mark Fuhrman, a brilliant Los Angeles detective who was the lead on the murder scene and had collected overwhelming physical evidence against Simpson. Now Fuhrman tells his side of the story in the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Murder in Brentwood," a damning expose that reveals why and how Simpson's prosecution was bungled. Fuhrman offers a sincere mea culpa for allowing his personal mistakes to become a focal point of the defense's strategy but also stands by the evidence he collected, writing: "One thing I will not apologize for is my policework on the O.J. Simpson case." With Fuhrman's own hand-drawn maps of the crime scene, his reconstruction of the murders, and interrogation transcripts, "Murder in Brentwood" is "the" book that sets the record straight about what really happened on June 12, 1994and reveals why the O.J. Simpson trial was such a catastrophe."

I‘ve always been fascinated by the O.J. Simpson case. I found this on Audible Plus and figured it was finally time to mark this off my TBR.

Everything surrounding this case is tragic. So many people were affected by his actions. This had some interesting parts but did drag in places. I‘d give this a low pick at 3.5⭐️ The narrator is decent but a bit stiff.
