You're welcome! Judge Ito wanted to be on this case -- we all remember how much he loved the limelight!
Not as much as judge J. Glass, imho.

The hospital may write up, suspend, terminate or otherwise discipline. I'm not sure what you mean by being brought up on charges by the hospital but I'm not going to contribute to keeping this going. Believe what you want. :shrug:
The Nurse can be brought up on charges by the State Health Department or Education Department and they can revoke the Nurses lisense if they see fit to do so.

"Dr. Susan Forward, Nicole's therapist: "She was battered incessantly, regularly, all the time. I'm not saying 24 hours a day, but the incidents of battering were extraordinarily high."
Source: Anne McDermott, CNN.com, "Nicole Simpson Profile", January 19, 1995.
Shelley Levitt: "There were, after all, many witnesses to the abuse in the Simpson marriage. Friends and family members say O.J. humiliated Nicole in bars and restaurants. Neighbors heard him screaming threats and obscenities. The Brown family saw photographs of her battered face following the infamous 1989 New Year's Day beating. The police, answering her 911 calls, saw a beaten and frightened Nicole and had no doubt that O.J. was her tormentor ... "One of the most amazing things to me when you study the Simpson case is that it appeared intervention failed at every level," says San Diego deputy city attorney Casey Gwinn, who runs that city's domestic violence unit. "Police didn't write reports when they went to the house. Simpson was not put in jail. Friends and family didn't confront him."

Many people wrote their opinions about Nicole and oj relationship.Some even for money but none were oj or Nicole. only they knew the truth. imo

And none of this states that Simpson would progress to murder but the eminent authority on the subject, Dr. Lenore Walker, said he did not fit the profile of a spousal abuser that would make the necessary progression.

All expert's expertise is up for questioning, imho, which is why a foundation is laid before the expert can offer an opinion. I am unable to pull up her direct testimony but here is what was said during an argument in court about what she would say, if called to testify, by Professor and lawyer Dean Ulemen, who some Gs give credit.
"MR. UELMEN: WELL, ADDITIONAL TESTS WERE MADE AS WELL. AND AT THIS POINT, THE DEFENSE HAS NOT MADE A COMPLETE DETERMINATION OF WHAT WE INTEND TO CALL DR. WALKER TO TESTIFY. AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT DR. WALKER MAY BE CALLED UPON TO TESTIFY. NOT JUST WITH RESPECT TO THE PERSONALITY OF THE DEFENDANT OR THE ABSENCE OF PROFILE INDICATORS, BUT SIMPLY BASED ON HER RESEARCH AND FAMILIARITY WITH THE FIELD, THE LACK OF PREDICTABILITY OF HOMICIDES BASED ON A PRIOR HISTORY OF BATTERING. THE ONLY RELEVANCE THAT DR. WALKER'S TESTIMONY IS GOING TO HAVE IS TO REBUT THE INFERENCES THAT THE PROSECUTION IS GOING TO TRY TO DRAW FROM THE PRIOR ACTS IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO DRAW INFERENCES OF MOTIVE, IDENTITY AND COMMON SCHEME. AND UNTIL WE'VE HEARD THAT EVIDENCE AND UNTIL, FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING ANY EXPERTS, WE STILL DON'T KNOW THE FULL SCOPE OF WHAT DR. WALKER MAY BE CALLED UPON TO TESTIFY TO. AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE NOT ONLY A RIGHT, BUT AN OBLIGATION NOT TO WAIVE ANY PRIVILEGE AND GIVE TO THE PROSECUTION MATERIAL THAT THEY MAY THEN IN TURN USE AGAINST THE DEFENDANT IN THEIR CASE IN CHIEF UNTIL WE KNOW PRECISELY WHAT POSITION THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE AND WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO PRESENT ANY EXPERT TESTIMONY. WE DON'T WANT TO WAIVE THE PROTECTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT WE HAVE UNDER 1107 OF THE EVIDENCE CODE THAT PRECLUDES THEM FROM PRESENTING THIS KIND OF EXPERT TESTIMONY. AND IF YOUR HONOR RULES THAT THEY CAN'T PUT THAT KIND OF EXPERT TESTIMONY ON, THAT MAY IN TURN LEAD US TO A VERY DIFFERENT CONCLUSION, OPENING STATEMENT NOTWITHSTANDING, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRECISE SCOPE OF DR. WALKER'S TESTIMONY. NOW, IF I COULD RETURN TO THE THREE CATEGORIES THAT I INDICATED AT THE OUTSET. I THINK WE CAN HONESTLY REPORT IN GOOD FAITH THAT WE DO NOT KNOW AT THIS POINT WHAT WE WILL CALL MANY OF THE EXPERTS TO TESTIFY TO IN THE COURSE OF THIS TRIAL. MANY OF THEM WILL BE REBUTTING PROSECUTION EXPERTS. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PROSECUTION EXPERTS WILL BE CALLED, WHAT THEY WILL TESTIFY TO. IN FACT, MANY OF OUR EXPERTS ARE ON THE PROSECUTION'S WITNESS LIST AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE FROM OUR EXPERTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO REBUT OR CROSS-EXAMINE THEM IF AND WHEN THEY ARE CALLED BY THE PROSECUTION. THE PROSECUTION HAS NOT MADE ANY PROFFER. THEY HAVEN'T TOLD US WHAT THEY EXPECT TO CALL THESE WITNESSES FOR OR HOW THEY WILL LIMIT THEIR TESTIMONY. SO AT THIS POINT, WE SIMPLY DON'T KNOW. WE'RE NOT IN ANY POSITION TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT THE SCOPE OF OUR EXPERT TESTIMONY SHOULD BE."

I think you may not know enough about anti-social personality disorder, because it displays itself in the teenage years and there is no showing that Simpson had any problems in those years. I am not an expert but a quick research allowed me to discern that. While it may be true that some with the disorder got by in their teenage years, it is far too great a leap in law or logic for either you or I to make (I would have said for me to make but you might have thought I meant we, :)).

I would say that might be true if he worked for LE and the prosecution, who were admonished for having a reckless disregard for the truth.

"requiring pretrial disclosure of the raw results of standardized psychological and intelligence tests administered and relied upon by an expert the defense intends to call at trial allows access to information necessary to prepare the case, reduces the chance of surprise at trial, furthers the attainment of truth and lessens the risk of a judgment based on incomplete testimony. In short, it advances the statutory goals," closed quote. And in opening statement in this case, mr. Cochran did tell the jury that dr. Walker would testify. And i'll quote here: "and you will hear ultimately about the battery of tests and i think you will find that she will say that in looking at o.j. Simpson and interviewing him, in looking at him at this point, she finds no evidence of anti-social personality disorder and i think you will find that becomes very important in this case."

I'm just calling it like I see it. your statement that the prosecution and LE "were admonished for having a reckless disregard for the truth" and I said you are being dishonest in stating that.
I would also like to take this opportunity to, once again, point out that Johnnie Cochran was also admonished, and fined, by Judge Ito for having "a reckless disregard for the truth".
It interests me that it is only regarding LE or the prosecution when "reckless disregard for the truth" is brought up, with no interest in noting that Johnnie Cochran was deemed as having the same.

In Dr Walkers book she said Oj simpson did not fit the profile of a abuser that he showed no antisocial behavior in her 60 hours examination of him.
That is more than any person that wrote opinions that were not even a professional and never examined him.

If memory serves me correctly it was Ito that made the comment that Vanhatter was playing fast and loose with the truth in regards to what he told the Warrant judge to get that search warrant of ojs house. Which should have been enough to void everything the search warrant discovered but that would have tanked the prosecutions case so he let it stand.imo

Do you know of any expert, who the prosecution put on the stand, that had evaluated Simpson and formed an opinion that he would progress to murder that would have made it necessary for the defense to put on Dr. Walker in rebuttal?

Do you know of any expert, who the prosecution put on the stand, that had evaluated Simpson and formed an opinion that he would progress to murder that would have made it necessary for the defense to put on Dr. Walker in rebuttal?
Knowing that their expert would give the same examination results as DR Walkers.They did not want to go there so they opted out.

"Those of us who are not jurors have a moral obligation to listen to Nicole Simpson's words: to how O.J. Simpson locked her in a wine closet after beating her and watched TV while she begged him to let her out; to how, in a different hotel room, "O.J. threw me against the walls . . . and on the floor. Put bruises on my arm and back. The window scared me. Thought he'd throw me out." We need to hear how he "threw a fit, chased me, grabbed me, threw me into walls. Threw all my clothes out of the window into the street three floors below. Bruised me." We need to hear how he stalked her after their divorce. "Everywhere I go," she told a friend, "he shows up. I really think he is going to kill me."
We need, especially, to hear her call to a battered women's shelter five days before her murder. In ruling that call inadmissible, Ito said: "To the man or woman on the street, the relevance and probative value of such evidence is both obvious and compelling . . . . However, the laws and appellate-court decisions that must be applied . . . held otherwise." The man and woman on the street need to hear what was obvious to her: The foreknowledge that death was stalking her."

Those of us who have morals know the atrocities of anyone, who have suffered abuse and feel that they have no way out. Those of those who feel enough devotion should do more than just have sympathy for the victims of abuse and hatred for the abuser and should devote any un-devoted time that we have to helping the victims and educating the abuser, if this means lobbying for new and increased legislation, spending money, working with the victims and the abusers and trying to open shelters for the victims. We should all become more knowledgeable about the signs and symptoms of abuse. While doing all these things, we should keep in mind that the law is there to punish abusers and, based on years of jurisprudence any crime must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and should not form hasty conclusions due to our sympathy for and hatred for abusers that any one is automatically guilty of abuse or worse crimes.

In Petrocelli's book, he wrote that they tried to get some experts, Park Dietz, John, Douglas, Donald Dutton, and Gavin de Becker, to testify against system. All four came up with information that pointed to Simpson. The judge would not allow this testimony. One of Petrocelli's colleagues said that this sort of testimony has usually been kept out of trials.
To touch on some other subjects. Peterocelli's book says that killer's foot prints were pigeon toed, but I could find no mention of this in the trial transcripts.
I believe that Simpson was in trouble as a teenager, and that his mother arranged for him to meet Willie Mays, a pro baseball player, who helped straighten OJS out some. In any case there was a lot of talk that OJS was taking uppers an downers, which can contribute to violence.

Good point. It does appear, when you read posts here, that the prosecution were a bunch of bad guys and the defense was the cavalry, riding to the rescue. It was never as simple as that. The defense never had to prove anything, all they had to raise was reasonable doubt. Which they did.
But you also can't change the fact that OJ was found liable of causing the deaths of 2 people in the civil case. And ordered to pay compensation which he has avoided doing. Which is now why he finds himself in jail in Nevada.

Park Dietz, forensic psychiatrist
Dietz testified to his expertise in the area of forensic psychiatry citing his association with the FBI Profiling unit and his extensive training and teaching experience at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. In regard to Simpson, Dietz said he could safely conclude that Simpson would have continued to abuse Nicole Simpson, but that he would not necessarily have killed her."

November 7th, testimony
“And I was medical director of the Institute of Law Psychiatry and Public Policy
at the University of Virginia. I taught half-time at a law school, teaching
courses in law and psychiatry, criminal behavior, crimes of violence, and
related fields; and half of my time, I spent directing the fellowship training
program in forensic psychiatry and bringing the forensic psychiatry clinic to
the university.
During those years, I also began an active association -- or actually, rather,
continued an association with the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. That had
begun in the late 1970s and was formalized in 1981.
And I have, for the years since then, been the psychiatrist for the unit that's
gone under a variety of names. Today it's called the profiling unit. It had
been the behavioral sciences unit. It is part of the National Center for the
Analysis of Violent Crime.”
“Today, I am clinical professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at
U.C.L.A. And I divide my time between a forensic psychiatry practice which
occupies half my time, which is actually a group of -- a number of consultants and another activity, which is called threat assessment group. And that's afirm which provides consultation to employers for the prevention of workplace violence.
We also do some work for governmental agencies. It's preventative work for
preventing people from getting hurt.”
Unlike clinical psychiatry and forensic psychiatry, it's been long recognized
that because people who are parties to a matter are not always truthful, the
indirect evidence about behavior is often more reliable than the direct
evidence that might come from an interview. So whereas in clinical psychiatry, doctors obviously rely greatly on what their patients tell them. In forensic psychiatry, we have to rely on more than direct sources of information.”
“Q. Now, in this case, Dr. Dietz, are you prepared to render an opinion
regarding a likely motive that Mr. Simpson had for committing the two murders
at issue here?
A. Yes.
Q. And is that opinion based on any technique, process or theory that is new to science?
MR. LEONARD: Objection. Leading.
THE COURT: This being a 402 hearing, overruled.
THE WITNESS: Well, as a predicate to my -- and I want it to be clear that your answer assumes that Mr. Simpson is indeed the killer.
And given that assumption, I'm prepared to offer an opinion as to motivation.”
“Q. Okay. Let's start just with the first one you described, which is the
analysis.
As I understand what you're saying, it's based solely on the photographs that
you've seen of the crime scene and the autopsies and the autopsy protocols; is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, when you're analyzing those, are you applying what you would call any kind of scientific technique or method?
A. No.”
“Q. (BY MR. LEONARD) Do you remember testifying to that in your deposition, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. That's the basis to what you intend to elicit. That's what you intend to
tell this jury, correct? That's what you'd like the jury to note at the end of
your testimony?
MR. GELBLUM: Irrelevant what this witness wants this jury to know.
THE COURT: You may rephrase it.
Q. (BY MR. LEONARD) Isn't that what you're trying to impart to this jury, that Mr. Simpson is the kind of person that would commit this crime?
A. Not me, no.”
Even with assumptions and no scientific techniques of his arguably junk craft, he couldn't say Simpson was the killer. Given this testimony, I wonder if the civil jury was taking care of their own, even if they did not say it.

However, given this, I fail to see any valuable input a criminal profiler could have.
http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/157/9/1532
"The criminal profiler is not preoccupied with specifically naming the offender. Criminal profilers are advisors; detectives and investigators solve cases."
It appears that the detectives and investigators make the arrests, which the prosecution must then brings charges and must prove-ah, that was the method used in the Simpson murder trial and the prosecution failed miserably, imho.

Yes, it would seem that retrospective criminal profiling will not be of much value and I think that this will not be a case that will be reopened, unfortunately, due to the sentimentality of most of the court of public opinion, which reinforces the perception that LE got the right person, even though he was/is not guilty.

Given that a forensic psychiatrist is part of the team of assistants and two psychiatric experts, one an expert in spousal abuse and the other in forensic psychiatry, have opined that Simpson did not fit the type of person that would move from spousal abuse to murder, do you think that the criminal profiler should ignore their input, and opine that he does?

I think the most accepted method of examining personalities is examination by a psychiatrist. The Oj simpson criminal case would not be classified as a 'COLD CASE' imo as the case went to trial with a accused present and a verdict was rendered. The prosecution stated they had the right defendeant and announced the case was over as far as they were concerned. They rejected William C Dears investigation as they were not interested in any further investigations or claims in the case.
The prosecution could have called any profiler they thought would help their case but they didn't.
I think the triers of fact were in the best position to determine if the prosecutions claims were true.They spoke on this issue and as difficult as it may be for some to accept this legal verdict it stands.
Public opinion for me means nothing. The public opinion often times is shaped by media reports and TH opinions which we know are wrong more times that right.
Example: The majority of the public thought Iraq had WMD and it was right for the country to go to war.Now very few agree with that action.

William, let's beat this dead horse one more time. The word murder isn't there but we know that Ron Goldman died as a result of being stabbed with a knife. If OJ Simpson was found liable (meaning responsible) for his wrongful death then he stabbed him to death with a knife. You know it and everyone else on this forum knows it.
Wrongful death:
When a wrongful act-- such as negligence, intentional attack, manslaughter or murder-- of one person results in the death of another. The family who has lost the company and support of the deceased may file a wrongful death action against the party or parties who caused the death.

THE WITNESS: Well, as a predicate to my -- and I want it to be clear that your
answer assumes that Mr. Simpson is indeed the killer.
And given that assumption, I'm prepared to offer an opinion as to motivation.
And that opinion would be based on a kind of analysis that is not new and that
is not one that I would characterize as a scientific technique.
Q. Can you describe the process for us?
A. Yes.
The process is a rather straightforward one of first looking at the crime scene
through photographs and diagrams, looking at the injuries to the victims as
portrayed in autopsy photographs, and then the protocol from each autopsy.
And based on the information that comes from the scene and from the autopsies,
looking at the behavior that was necessary in order for that scene to have
resulted and for those injuries to have resulted, and then reasoning about that
scene and those injuries to examine what inferences, if any, can be drawn
behaviorally about the offender.
Q. Does that person you're talking about now assume that Mr. Simpson is the
perpetrator, or is that simply trying to figure out whoever did it, what's the
motivation for this particular crime?
MR. LEONARD: Vague. I didn't understand it.
THE COURT: Overruled.
MR. LEONARD: It's up to you if you understand it.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: What I said in my last answer is not based on any assumption of
who did it; but rather, my first approach to look at motive is to look at the
crime scene and the autopsy information.
Q. And that's regardless of who you think may or may not have done it, has
nothing to do with Mr. Simpson?
A. That's correct. That is one source of information as to motive. If one of
them then changes ground and says, assuming that Mr. Simpson is the killer,
what is the motive, that brings into play other data that are specific to Mr.
Simpson and to Ms. Simpson and to Mr. Goldman and to the relationships.
And so with that other information, then it becomes possible to, of course, be
much more specific.
Q. Okay. Let's start just with the first one you described, which is the
analysis.
As I understand what you're saying, it's based solely on the photographs that
you've seen of the crime scene and the autopsies and the autopsy protocols; is
that right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Now, when you're analyzing those, are you applying what you would call
any kind of scientific technique or method?
A. No.
Q. Are the materials that you just described that you relied on in forming your
opinion, materials that are typically relied upon by other experts in this
field?
A. Yes. And in any homicide case, a forensic psychiatrist ought to be concerned
with the crime scene and with the autopsies or autopsy of the victim. And that
kind of information is routinely relied on by those who pay attention to the
data as they should.
Q. What kind of people, in your experience, engage in that kind of analysis;
what kinds of occupations?
A. Well, for crime-scene analysis and looking at all autopsies to learn about
the behavior, that's possibly done most often by homicide detectives who, at
every homicide scene, are trying to do precisely that, and who attend autopsies
largely for that purpose.
It's also done by medical examiners and the other investigators who work at
medical examiners' offices, other people in the forensic sciences, including,
of course, forensic psychiatry.
Q. Is there published literature in this field?
A. Yes, there is.
Q. Can you cite any examples of it?
A. Certainly.
All textbooks of homicide investigation talk about crime-scene analysis. And
that's been true for more than a century.
Probably the earliest psychiatric writings just talk specifically about crime
scenes, which would be the writings of Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who, unlike
other forensic psychiatrists of his day, a century ago, had developed a close
friendship with the preeminent professor of criminology at the time, Hans
Gross, who was a student of crime scenes and wrote the most important textbook
of criminal investigation.
In fact, it's still in print today.
Q. When was that first published?
The book was published in 1887. YOU ONLY WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS AND NOT ANSWER THOSE PUT TO YOU, I SEE.:)

I think the most accepted method of examining personalities is examination by a psychiatrist. The Oj simpson criminal case would not be classified as a 'COLD CASE' imo as the case went to trial with a accused present and a verdict was rendered. The prosecution stated they had the right defendeant and announced the case was over as far as they were concerned. They rejected William C Dears investigation as they were not interested in any further investigations or claims in the case.
The prosecution could have called any profiler they thought would help their case but they didn't.
I think the triers of fact were in the best position to determine if the prosecutions claims were true.They spoke on this issue and as difficult as it may be for some to accept this legal verdict it stands.
Public opinion for me means nothing. The public opinion often times is shaped by media reports and TH opinions which we know are wrong more times that right.
Example: The majority of the public thought Iraq had WMD and it was right for the country to go to war.Now very few agree with that action.
But Martin, aren't you interested at all to find out who was responsible for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman? Don't their families have any right to find closure? Don't the Brown and Goldman families have the right to justice?
I think they do. And IMO a criminal profiler looking at this as a cold case could well provide many new ideas.
And I'm sorry but no I don't agree that a psychiatrist is a criminal profiler.
Psychiatrists have many talents but they don't have those of a profiler.

Good point. It does appear, when you read posts here, that the prosecution were a bunch of bad guys and the defense was the cavalry, riding to the rescue. It was never as simple as that. The defense never had to prove anything, all they had to raise was reasonable doubt. Which they did.
But you also can't change the fact that OJ was found liable of causing the deaths of 2 people in the civil case. And ordered to pay compensation which he has avoided doing. Which is now why he finds himself in jail in Nevada.
Not being testy, William Anthony.:) Just pointing out that I would like to read the thoughts on this case by a professional profiler, such as Dale Hinman or anyone else who does that for a living. Or would you consider criminal profiling to be one of your 'junk' arts and crafts?
Well since you agree that the defenseRaised reasonable doubt i am assumming thatYou agree with the criminal trial verdict of not guilty
William Anthony

William, let's beat this dead horse one more time. The word murder isn't there but we know that Ron Goldman died as a result of being stabbed with a knife. If OJ Simpson was found liable (meaning responsible) for his wrongful death then he stabbed him to death with a knife. You know it and everyone else on this forum knows it.
Wrongful death:
When a wrongful act-- such as negligence, intentional attack, manslaughter or murder-- of one person results in the death of another. The family who has lost the company and support of the deceased may file a wrongful death action against the party or parties who caused the death.
www.attorneykennugent.com/library/w.html
Let's do it this way, if you will. Simpson being found not guilty of murder, the theory behind the wrongful death lawsuit could not have been that he murdered them. With that in mind, where is the question asking that the jury found Simpson stabbed anyone to death (causation)?
http://www.worldlawdirect.com/forum/areas-law/16894-wrongful-death-attorneys.html
"While state “wrongful death statutes” were drafted independently of each other and are often unique, they all follow the same general principles. A wrongful death claim generally consists of four elements: (1) the death was caused, in whole or part, by the conduct of the defendant; (2) the defendant was negligent or strictly liable for the victim’s death; (3) there is a surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries or dependents; and (4) monetary damages have resulted from the victim’s death.
There were jury questions about battery and we know that the victims was battered. So, from the verdict we can only determine that Simpson's conduct (battery with malice and oppression) contributed to their deaths, whether his conduct was negligent or otherwise.

I am not sure the solution you offered will uncover a unknown killer or suspect.The prosecution looked at one suspect only and spent 9 months trying to convict.
Wagner and Dear have offered two different theories as to who the killers were.
Since oj was proven not to have murdered anyone and the DA has no intention of reopening the case,The real killer is someone unknown and the case will fall into the catogory of unknown killer as many others do but this is true only for those that don't believe Wagner or Dear or accept the criminal trial legal verdict.

William, you are wrong. Even Alan Dershowitz said the two verdicts were completely reconcilable. The verdict of one trial is not dependent upon the verdict of another. I gave the definition of wrongful death. Please don't start with OJ Simpson was indirectly involved. That's ridiculous and you know it. If he had been driving and his negligent driving killed them I might agree. Ron Goldman was brutally murdered and OJ Simpson was found liable which means he's the one that murdered him.

Hah, I doubt it -- OJ Simpson spent 13 years searching tirelessly for the killer or killers and came up with zip. Slasher conventions, golf courses, super bowls, seedy Vegas hotel rooms and still no suspect, imagine that!

I have no disagreement with what AD said, as I realize what he meant, because they are brought under two different causes of actions, standards of proof, legal theories and parties. I have never said that the battery was negligent. I said negligent or otherwise. The fact is that the jury was never asked to decide that Simpson stabbed anyone or that the stabbings caused or contributed to their deaths. Hence, by the special verdict, we can only say that the battery contributed to the death of Mr. RG, as that jury was never asked specifically did Simpson kill anyone. That is all I am saying and, if you want to see it as murder, you will but that is not what the special verdict said or meant. To be correct, I don't know if it was a special or general verdict with special interrogatories.

And Simpson had been found not guilty of that and double jeopardy prevented him from being retried under that legal theory and or that cause of action. Hence, you have him being tried under a different theory, which did not include stabbing or murder, but that he in some manner, more specifically thorough battery, caused the wrongful death of Mr. RG and given that the cause of death was by stabbing, the battery could have only contributed to the death, as the jury was not asked to decide if he stabbed anyone. That is all that verdict meant or said but, like I said, you are free to believe otherwise.

i think oj would have liked to have continued his privately financed look for the killer but realizing he had more pressing issues and could not finance
further efforts he gave it up long ago. There was also the DA statement that they had no intention of opening the case. in other words don't come to us with no claims of a killer.
i think oj was forced to make money at conventions, trade shows.
Some cases are never solved but Wagner and Dear did very good investigations.The DA rejcted both out of hand.

I do find it worthy to note that committing battery upon a person extends to far more than beating them with your fists or other body parts, it does also include striking another individual with a weapon.
The verdict form did not specify what type of battery was found to have been committed, thus leaving open the fact that the jury could have found that OJ Simpson committed battery upon the two victims by stabbing them.

I would have to disagree as battery includes the element of some unwanted and harmful contact. Since the special interrogatories did not include any mention of battery with a weapon, it should not allow us to speculate that it was what was meant. I think the special interrogatories were tailored to reach the appropriate verdict.

There seems to be a profound desire to say that the civil trial of wrongful death was in fact a murder trial. I have consistently said that I have no problem with the verdict, believing that the a civil verdict could in no manner equate to a criminal trial on murder. However, since this profound desire seems to be the majority opinion espoused on this board and the judge in the civil case purportedly said, "Basically, this is a civil murder trial", (when no such animal exists), I feel compelled to say, if the majority is correct, that the civil trial was not held for its proper purpose of wrongful death but for the improper purpose of trying to prove Simpson guilty of murder and, as such, was an abuse of the process and a form of payback for the criminal verdict.

You are right. Some may continue to be mean spirited, hateful and racially challenged, despite the results of a new investigation exonerating Simpson. So, what would be the point? So, if I understand you correctly the vile remarks made by MF on the tapes did not cause you any concerns about race and it was not until the jury spoke that you thought race played a part, and it was only then that you considered the race of the victims and the defendant and decided to call the magnificent one, cockroach, correct?

You are right. Some may continue to be mean spirited, hateful and racially challenged, despite the results of a new investigation exonerating Simpson. So, what would be the point? So, if I understand you correctly the vile remarks made by MF on the tapes did not cause you any concerns about race and it was not until the jury spoke that you thought race played a part, and it was only then that you considered the race of the victims and the defendant and decided to call the magnificent one, cockroach, correct?
therein lies the difference in how we viewed the trial. My first tip off that orenthal was quite possibly the murderer was when he ran and the suicide note.
I wasn't looking for the boogey man and understood that the audio tapes were for the writing of a screenplay -- I don't believe Stephen King has done the stuff he writes and I don't believe Josie Wells was a real person.
and when I heard the jury was when I knew that they were ignorant, biased, and color-blind.
cochran was just as sleazy as his client -- immoral, unscrupulous, dishonorable, disreputable, corrupt, seedy, dishonest, untrustworthy, deceitful, treacherous, devious, cunning, lying, faithless. I just summed it all up to 'cockroach' --

oh come on william -- you spew hate everytime you talk about LE. Your case makes my point -- :shrug:
I despise the conduct of those who take an oath to serve and protect all citizens and don't uphold the oath. I know of a lot of people, who make jokes about LE drinking coffee and eating pastries and not doing their duty. Those people, who despise LE for breaking their oath, and Serpico was a member of LE himself do not hate the person but do hate their conduct, imho. I am able to separate the two, whether or not you believe it. I loath MF's conduct but I do not hate him. He is not one that I would choose to associate with and I am sure he would feel the same about me. I think that to realize that there are some people who will not see eye to eye does a great deal in stopping hatred. How about the testimonies of Bell, Sanger and Hodge? How about the statement that no Ns lived in the neighborhood in which he grew up? How about the the statement that he would burn all the Ns? How about the statement if he went down the case went down? I think the only fairytale is that he made all those statements in the context of a screenplay.

So you considered the possibility that Simpson was the murderer before one piece of evidenced was introduced. Some on the jury may have felt the same way but they took an oath to set aside their personal feelings and to find him guilty or not based on the evidence and for this they receive the type of remarks you make, because they disagreed with you or what they thought the important evidence was.
Those who knew him and worked with him and even judge Ito had a different opinion of him, the magnificent one. I wonder how you would have felt about him, if he had still been a prosecutor. I think he might have won if he was and VB would have been furious, imho.

I learned that his claim to fame was riding the backs of clients (majority minority) all the way to the bank. I learned that he was adulterer and abuser.

I was going by your statement and the suicide note or the so-called police chase were not a part of the evidence.
Since the majority of those in the legal profession and, even some of the Gs on this board, readily admit there was reasonable doubt, then the logical and unbiased opinion is that the jury upheld its oath, despite the feelings of the majority or the minority of the court of public opinion.
I saw a man magnificently give his clients the best defense and get paid for the magnificence of his efforts. What he received as a result of his magnificence does not matter to me, when he upheld his oath, as opposed to those who violated their oaths and benefited or continue to benefit from their violations. Let he that is without sin cast the first stone. I will admit that I find it odd that those who lost the case and oath violators seem to benefit without retribution from their faults, except for Darden, while those that won and kept their oaths are ostracized.

MF was not the writer. LHM wrote the screen play. I loathed the way he hobbled to the witness stand to take the 5th, after proudly marching to it to commit perjury. I suppose you believe that Ms. Bell, Ms. Sanger and Mr. Hodge and LHM all had a reason to lie on the person convicted of perjury.

there is no way I can reason with you -- MF was going to receive monies when/if LHM was able to sell the screenplay. LHM never advertised the screenplay as non-fiction. I didn't think he 'hobbled' anywhere. you obviously are like the loser juror who 'knew when he walked to the stand the first day that he was a 'skinhead' racist. I do think that in a career that spanned the years that Fuhrman's did, for the things to have been done and said against him, there would have been more than three witnesses and 0 to testify that he was not as the defense was portraying him.

Are you saying that, if LE see's a White person driving a BMW and wearing clothes that don't fit the ride, they should let them go and stop a Black man fitting the above description? Are you saying that an entire race of Blacks should be burned and Whites should not? Are you saying that all or some White male sexists LE members feel this way and speak this way?

What do you think any of those things have to do with sexism? Now, let's look at what LHM explained to MF about what she wanted from him.
August 29th
MR. DARDEN: Some of the more realistic aspects of your screenplay was the procedures used by the LAPD, correct?
MS. MCKINNY: I'm sorry, could you repeat that again?
MR. DARDEN: Some of the aspects of your screenplay that are factual, as opposed to fictional, include things like the procedures utilized by the LAPD?
MS. MCKINNY: Yes. Some of them are factual.
MR. DARDEN: Okay.
MS. MCKINNY: As far as I would know.
MR. DARDEN: Now, when you--when you spoke to Detective Fuhrman about the screenplay initially, did you tell him that you were hoping to write a screenplay suitable for movie theaters, as opposed to a television movie?
MS. MCKINNY: That wouldn't have been discussed initially, but yes, I did tell him that I wanted to write a feature.
MR. DARDEN: And the reason you wanted to do a feature film, as opposed to a TV movie, was because you wanted to make certain that the movie or screenplay was extremely dramatic, correct?
MS. MCKINNY: I wanted to make certain that if we were dealing about issues of whether or not women could succeed in areas of high crime, that I was accurately representing to the best of my ability what might in fact take place there and I didn't know if that could be accurately depicted on television.

William i think the poster may be dissagreeing with M Clarke when i think she said Furhman should have never been a cop in her closing statement.

If I hated anyone, it would be him and, if you have to figure that out, then something wrong. What witness testified on behalf of MF in the criminal trial? There is no way racism has anything to do with sexism, although a person can be both, imho. Even judge Ito realized that MF was speaking his true feelings but decided to choose the least inflammatory of his remarks to be played before the jury. However, all Americans, who realize the wrongness of his racial remarks, despised them, including LHM, Ms. Clark, Darden, the magnificent one and judge Ito or at least the publicly denounced them or stated how vile MF's words were and, IIRC, Ms. Clark said he was a racist. Ignorance and color blindness is not limited to race or sex or station, imho.

September 5th
MR. COCHRAN: What did you tell him about the conversation or the kind of things you wanted him to share with you regarding police work?
MR. DARDEN: Also calls for hearsay.
THE COURT: Overruled. You can answer the question.
MS. MCKINNY: I told him that I wanted to write a fictional piece based on fact, so it was very important to me that I had a really clear idea of what some police officers would say in a given situation, so that the instances that he would give me would be as factual and realistic as possible.
MR. COCHRAN: You asked him to be factual and realistic, did you?

and ask you, so MF's words or the testimony of the witnesses about his racial animosity or the fact that Ms. Clark admitted he was a racist did not cause you to think race was an issue until in your opinion that " ignorant, biased, color-blind jury spoke, correct?
MF was not the writer. LHM wrote the screen play. I loathed the way he hobbled to the witness stand to take the 5th, after proudly marching to it to commit perjury. I suppose you believe that Ms. Bell, Ms. Sanger and Mr. Hodge and LHM all had a reason to lie on the person convicted of perjury.

"MR. DARDEN: Well, your Honor, the court may have already noticed, we have sat here and we have taken it on the chin with regard to these witnesses and their testimony as it relates to Mark Fuhrman's racial animus. The message is certainly clear to me. I think it is clear to the rest of the nation and everyone else who is watching these proceedings this morning. I think the Defense has clearly established that Fuhrman is a racist, among many, many other things. But at some point it gets to be too much and at some point I think this court, and I think the jury certainly as well, may well lose focus as to what the real issue is here in this case, and the real issue is O.J. Simpson and what he did the night of June 12th, and not Mark Fuhrman. And what we have heard is that Mark Fuhrman espouses genocide, genocide of African Americans. We heard about his racial hatred, his sexism, his hatred for interracial couples, he will find something to stop interracial couples, he wants to burn all African Americans or bomb African Americans. We have heard it and we have not disputed it. It is done. Okay? Everything that they wanted to accomplish today I think is done. Okay? The Goldmans shouldn't have to sit here and hear any more of this and we shouldn't have to hear any more of it. Okay? When it comes time to argue this issue to the jury--we offered to stipulate last week or the week before, he used these word, Judge. We know it, you know it. Now the jury knows it. It is cumulative. The court ought to cut it off now under 352 and let's get back to the matter of trying O.J. Simpson for killing these two people. It is time to get back to that.
MR. COCHRAN: May I respond?
THE COURT: Yes, Mr. Cochran.
MR. COCHRAN: Just briefly, your Honor. We are in fact trying the case of People versus O.J. Simpson. Mark Fuhrman hasn't been arrested, he hasn't been in jail for fourteen months or fifteen months. This is the man who is on trial. What Mark Fuhrman did on June 12th is what is important and we are going to link it up. What I would offer to do--and we have been mindful of your Honor's concerns under 352. And that is why you didn't hear me call Andrea Terry. I think she would be cumulative--cumulative is the word, your Honor--of perhaps Kathleen Bell, so you didn't hear me call her. Roderic Hodge stands in a different position, your Honor. We have heard from these ladies who have dealt with this man and been appalled and aghast at his behavior, clearly. Other than Laura McKinny, we don't intend to call any other ladies, and she, because of the tape, as the court is aware. Roderic Hodge stands differently, your Honor. As you recall from the offer of proof last week, he's the man who was arrested by Mark Fuhrman, and you will recall what--Mark Fuhrman turns around, addresses him and says, "I told you we would get you" blank, and I think it becomes very relevant. Here is a man who encountered this man on the street, had to deal with him. He was stopped 20 to 25 times by Mark Fuhrman so he is in a different position. It is very relevant. It goes from what this man talked about to actually having done it. The direct exam will be very brief and right to the point. And then I have told you the other witnesses we expect to call after that. I don't think it is cumulative at all. I think it gets the picture before the jury. Your Honor, again we have taken one morning, less than one morning, versus six months. We have had less than six weeks and now everything becomes cumulative.
And we are trying to pare it down, being mindful of your Honor's order. It seems to me this witness is very relevant for the limited issues I have indicated to you. He is the only witness"
I guess fate must have been on LHM when MF asked her about her computer, because she got a real life character to fit her screen play. I wonder how many people were angry that she exposed MF for MF.

We have heard from these ladies who have dealt with this man and been appalled and aghast at his behavior, clearly. Other than Laura McKinny, we don't intend to call any other ladies, and she, because of the tape, as the court is aware. Roderic Hodge stands differently, your Honor. As you recall from the offer of proof last week, he's the man who was arrested by Mark Fuhrman, and you will recall what--Mark Fuhrman turns around, addresses him and says, "I told you we would get you" blank, and I think it becomes very relevant. Here is a man who encountered this man on the street, had to deal with him. He was stopped 20 to 25 times by Mark Fuhrman so he is in a different position. It is very relevant. It goes from what this man talked about to actually having done it. The direct exam will be very brief and right to the point. And then I have told you the other witnesses we expect to call after that. I don't think it is cumulative at all. I think it gets the picture before the jury. Your Honor, again we have taken one morning, less than one morning, versus six months. We have had less than six weeks and now everything becomes cumulative.
And we are trying to pare it down, being mindful of your Honor's order. It seems to me this witness is very relevant for the limited issues I have indicated to you. He is the only witness"
I guess fate must have been on LHM when MF asked her about her computer, because she got a real life character to fit her screen play. I wonder how many people were angry that she exposed MF for MF.

in the statement he gave to the police, Mr. Simpson said he had cut himself while still in Los Angeles. In that statement, Mr. Simpson said he had reopened in Chicago a wound that he sustained the previous evening, while rushing to catch his flight. That wound, he said, accounted for the blood drops the police found around his house.
"I knew I was bleeding, but it was no big deal," he said in the statement. "I bleed all the time." He said he placed a napkin on his finger, and the bleeding stopped."

You failed to put in bold this part, or were impossible to confirm due to failed memories and flawed record-keeping.[/B] .
You may have overlooked these parts.
The report did confirm, and express outrage, that there was institutional harassment of women on the force that was ignored by police officials.64 By delving into Fuhrman's claims, the department's investigators also acknowledged serious shortcomings in the way it investigates and adjudicates complaints alleging abuses by officers, with many of its findings and recommendations echoing those of the Christopher Commission and subsequent reports.
Although Fuhrman was the subject of seven civil lawsuits during his career, the city was found to have no record of three of the suits.66
One of the explanations for Fuhrman being allowed to stay on the force was this: "He knew exactly where the disciplinary line was, and he avoided creating any significant pattern of misconduct."67 This point assumes that there is such a line and implies that a high level of abuse was permissible within its bounds. In the absence of a functioning early warning system, the observation illustrates the need for oversight of police conduct that looks beyond the latest incident to a pattern that may span years and may manifest itself in a variety of ways, in contrast to an officer who hits someone in the same situation in incident after incident. Repeating one of the major findings of the Christopher Commission investigation, the report concludes, "[T]he Department must identify problem officers so investigations of this sort are not necessary in the future."68

"MR. DARDEN: Well, your Honor, the court may have already noticed, we have sat here and we have taken it on the chin with regard to these witnesses and their testimony as it relates to Mark Fuhrman's racial animus. The message is certainly clear to me. I think it is clear to the rest of the nation and everyone else who is watching these proceedings this morning. I think the Defense has clearly established that Fuhrman is a racist, among many, many other things. But at some point it gets to be too much and at some point I think this court, and I think the jury certainly as well, may well lose focus as to what the real issue is here in this case, and the real issue is O.J. Simpson and what he did the night of June 12th, and not Mark Fuhrman. And what we have heard is that Mark Fuhrman espouses genocide, genocide of African Americans. We heard about his racial hatred, his sexism, his hatred for interracial couples, he will find something to stop interracial couples, he wants to burn all African Americans or bomb African Americans. We have heard it and we have not disputed it. It is done. Okay? Everything that they wanted to accomplish today I think is done. Okay? The Goldmans shouldn't have to sit here and hear any more of this and we shouldn't have to hear any more of it. Okay? When it comes time to argue this issue to the jury--we offered to stipulate last week or the week before, he used these word, Judge. We know it, you know it. Now the jury knows it. It is cumulative. The court ought to cut it off now under 352 and let's get back to the matter of trying O.J. Simpson for killing these two people. It is time to get back to that.
MR. COCHRAN: May I respond?
THE COURT: Yes, Mr. Cochran.
MR. COCHRAN: Just briefly, your Honor. We are in fact trying the case of People versus O.J. Simpson. Mark Fuhrman hasn't been arrested, he hasn't been in jail for fourteen months or fifteen months. This is the man who is on trial. What Mark Fuhrman did on June 12th is what is important and we are going to link it up. What I would offer to do--and we have been mindful of your Honor's concerns under 352. And that is why you didn't hear me call Andrea Terry. I think she would be cumulative--cumulative is the word, your Honor--of perhaps Kathleen Bell, so you didn't hear me call her. Roderic Hodge stands in a different position, your Honor. We have heard from these ladies who have dealt with this man and been appalled and aghast at his behavior, clearly. Other than Laura McKinny, we don't intend to call any other ladies, and she, because of the tape, as the court is aware. Roderic Hodge stands differently, your Honor. As you recall from the offer of proof last week, he's the man who was arrested by Mark Fuhrman, and you will recall what--Mark Fuhrman turns around, addresses him and says, "I told you we would get you" blank, and I think it becomes very relevant. Here is a man who encountered this man on the street, had to deal with him. He was stopped 20 to 25 times by Mark Fuhrman so he is in a different position. It is very relevant. It goes from what this man talked about to actually having done it. The direct exam will be very brief and right to the point. And then I have told you the other witnesses we expect to call after that. I don't think it is cumulative at all. I think it gets the picture before the jury. Your Honor, again we have taken one morning, less than one morning, versus six months. We have had less than six weeks and now everything becomes cumulative.
And we are trying to pare it down, being mindful of your Honor's order. It seems to me this witness is very relevant for the limited issues I have indicated to you. He is the only witness"

How did they know when the beatings and abuses took place, if they did not happen? How do we feel about people who beat and abuse other people under color of authority, in comparison to spousal abuse?
These beatings took place in 1978. It was known as the Boyle Height Incident. It was investigated by a certain Police Dept lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, who came to the conclusion that the police had done nothing that they should be prosecuted or punished for. The got no demerits for it thanks to Johnnie Cochran.
Mark F had a psychological evaluation in the 1980s in which the psychologist said that he spun tall tales. He talked of being a trained killer in Viet Nam, but in fact was never in Viet Nam, and never saw combat duty. The police board in 1983 said that aside from the 1978 Boyle Height incident there were no citizen complaints against MF for excessive force. It didn't say about other complaints. I find it ironic that JC helped MF off the hook for violence in 1978, and then took advantage of MF in 1995. It is also true that MF said on the tapes that he didn't plant or move evidence on the Simpson case.
there is no way I can reason with you -- MF was going to receive monies when/if LHM was able to sell the screenplay. LHM never advertised the screenplay as non-fiction. I didn't think he 'hobbled' anywhere. you obviously are like the loser juror who 'knew when he walked to the stand the first day that he was a 'skinhead' racist. I do think that in a career that spanned the years that Fuhrman's did, for the things to have been done and said against him, there would have been more than three witnesses and 0 to testify that he was not as the defense was portraying him.
you know, if I follow your logic that LHM was only the writer and Fuhrman was responsible for telling the story, then do you accept the if I DID IT book to be orenthal's confession?
Excellent point but some people like to have it both ways.

O.J. Lawyer: 'He's a Sociopath'
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
By Roger Friedman
Time heals some wounds, so Ronald Goldman’s dad, Fred, might be interested in this. I ran into O.J. Simpson’s former criminal attorney, Robert Shapiro, night before last at a party celebrating Mickey Rourke’s Golden Globe win. I asked Shapiro, who led the Simpson “Dream Team” in 1994-95 that got Simpson acquitted of double murder, what he thought of his former client in retrospect.
Shapiro was quick to respond. “He’s a sociopath,” Shapiro said, surprisingly. This was just after I told him of seeing F. Lee Bailey last fall, and that Bailey was still defending Simpson.
Did Shapiro always think Simpson was a sociopath, I wondered? Shapiro smiled. “What do you think?” he answered rhetorically.If someone relates this anecdote to Simpson, now at last in prison but not for the murders, he may well surmise that his staunchest former defender is finally ‘fessing up about his feelings. Too late, but still, it’s nice to know.
Shapiro is not completely removed from the Simpson world. He has remained very friendly with the famous children of his late friend, attorney Robert Kardashian. The famous children, of course, are the publicity hungry Kardashian sisters, daughters of Kris Kardashian who is married to former great athlete Bruce Jenner. Jenner’s son, Brody, of course, is also a press junkie, seeking fame for doing little of much value other than dating and having a reality show. It’s quite a group.
Anyway, few people may realize that the Kardashian girls — also reality TV stars, Playboy models, etc- are the daughters of O.J.’s best friend, a lawyer who helped him skirt the double murder charges but later claimed he had doubts about Simpson’s innocence. Kris Kardashian Jenner was at one time Nicole Simpson’s best friend.
What ties Shapiro to the Kardashians now? Robert tells me he’s backing Kim Kardashian in a Web site called shoedazzle.com. He says, “It’s discount high end shoes.” Well, it’s nice to see they’ve all stayed so friendly. The shoes are for women, so Bruno Magli — the brand O.J. wore the night of the murders — won’t be featured.

I'm really interested in what a current criminal profiler would have to say about the murders or Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. So I've been looking into criminal profilers, Dale Hinman to be specific, and one of many places I've been led to is CourtTV. I've come across their transcripts of the criminal trial of OJ. I haven't paid any money to rebroadcast the original transcripts so I won't. William Anthony, I can only assume that if you're using the CourtTV transcripts you have paid for the license. Otherwise, if you can tell me where I can find the transcripts for free, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, I've saved them to my favorites so I can look at them.
I refer, as you do William Anthony, to Dr Park Dietz's testimony in the 402 on 7-11-96. Dr Dietz admits that he only looked at photos of the crime scene and the autopsy. He did not visit the crime scene. He did not view the victims. He admits that he saw no standardised tests on OJ and relied on third party statements to form his opinion.
I will say again that even though Dr Dietz has many credentials, he was not a criminal profiler as we know them today.
Parker
03-13-2009, 03:37 AM
So, I'm still looking into criminal profiling and how it is presented in trials.
This is just the start for me. I've found this in the Vanderbilt Law Review
Vol 61:1:221. It came up during my search for Dale Hinman and OJ.
The Supreme Court’s decisions in Daubert, Joiner, and Kumho
Tire were codified in the 2000 amendment of Rule 702. The rule
currently reads:
If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise, if (1) the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data, (2) the
testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods, and (3) the witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of the case.
Rule 702 requires an expert to consider all of the pertinent
evidence and alternative explanations to ensure that his conclusion is
sufficiently supported. The “principle” prong of Rule 702 requires
that the theory on which the expert bases his testimony is valid; this
prong must be satisfied whether the testimony is scientific, technical,
or based on experience. The “method” prong of Rule 702 requires
that the expert’s theories are derived through reliable means; thus,
scientific evidence must be derived through the scientific method and
non-scientific evidence must be derived through common sense, logic,
and practices common to the area of expertise in question. Finally,
Rule 702 requires experts to apply the valid principles and methods
reliably to the facts of the particular case.
IMO Dr Dietz's testimony doesn't follow these lines.
William Anthony

'the official', the 'person'? It takes more than that to be credible. You asked how would they know when the alleged beatings and abuses took place? Have you ever heard of a lie?
I am surprised that you do find the NY times credible but do find MF credible.

Yes, imho, the lawyer known for settling cases, which I might add you cannot do in criminal trials, was disgruntled, because he was demoted in the Simpson case, receiving very little credit and only playing a small part, who now has started a website for downloading wills and such, may have a reasons to say these things but it did not stop him from garnering some slight publicity as a member of the dream team. What training does he have as an expert to offer that opinion? All of this is just my opinion.

You can assume what you will. He was called by the plaintiffs in the civil tria, to the best of my understandingl. Do you think that a judge has more experience and training and can decide who is qualified as an expert to testify than say you or me?

Don't you think that Dietz had the necessary requirements as a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise to satisfy the first prong of Rule 702 and was therefore able to offer his opinion through common sense, logic,
and practices common to the area of expertise in question or is it that his testimony supports the fact that Simpson was not the murderer, as he was saying that Simpson, in his opinion was not the type of person to commit the murders?
William Anthony
03-13-2009, 05:27 AM
Q. Doctor, have you ever qualified to testify as an expert in court on a
similar opinion; that is, testifying as to motive, based on an analysis of the
crime scene and autopsy?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you cite to us some cases?
A. Of course. That comes up as part of nearly every homicide case that I
testify in.
So, backwards, from most recent homicide cases where we've talked about the
crime scene and motive, would include California_versus_Ernesto_ Anguiano,
where I testified in October of '96.
One was Wisconsin versus -- sorry; that one's not a homicide.
California_versus_Sally_McNeil, where I testified at trial in March of '96.
California_versus_Erik_Menendez, where I testified in February of '96.
California_versus_Richard_Davis, which is the Polly Klaas case. I testified at
trial in May of '96.
Q. Did you justify arriving -- determining -- trying to determine motive from
an analysis of the crime scene in the Klaas case?
A. Yes. In fact, that was the principal purpose of my participation in the
case.
United_States_versus_James_E._Swann,_Jr., where I testified at trial in
September '94.
Q. Please tell us how many others there are in the last, say, five years.
A. Nine others from that point back to the mid-90s.
Q. And each of those you were testifying -- part of your testimony had to do
with deriving motive from analysis of the crime scene and/or autopsy photos?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, the other opinion you mentioned, opinion you said, assuming Mr. Simpson
is the perpetrator, trying to determine a likely motive that he would have had;
is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. And how did you -- what method did you use, or what did you do to arrive at
that opinion?
A. To the information that I already had from the crime scene and autopsy
information, I then added information specific to Mr. Simpson, which included
portions of his testimony; his prior statements; his writings; Nicole Simpson's
writings, including her diary; statements that were transcribed -- that is,
transcripts of statements made by witnesses; some transcribed trial testimony;
a 911 tape; and a surreptitiously made recording known as the Lally tape; a
transcript of the conversation during the so-called slow-speed chase between
Mr. Simpson and the law enforcement.
Q. Are those kinds of materials the kinds of materials that are typically
relied upon by forensic psychiatrists in assessing motive?
A. Yes.
Parker,
Do you think all the judges in all those cases were wrong? Whether or not he was qualified to give his opinion as to the type of person who could commit murder, we know that even though, he may have opined that Simpson had the motive, which you arguably say he shouldn't have been allowed to testify to, we also know that his opinion was that Simpson was not the type to commit murder and that opinion is the same as the most eminent authority on spousal abuse, don't we?
Parker

You can assume what you will. He was called by the plaintiffs in the civil tria, to the best of my understandingl. Do you think that a judge has more experience and training and can decide who is qualified as an expert to testify than say you or me?
No William. He gave evidence in the criminal trial.

These beatings took place in 1978. It was known as the Boyle Height Incident. It was investigated by a certain Police Dept lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, who came to the conclusion that the police had done nothing that they should be prosecuted or punished for. The got no demerits for it thanks to Johnnie Cochran.
Mark F had a psychological evaluation in the 1980s in which the psychologist said that he spun tall tales. He talked of being a trained killer in Viet Nam, but in fact was never in Viet Nam, and never saw combat duty. The police board in 1983 said that aside from the 1978 Boyle Height incident there were no citizen complaints against MF for excessive force. It didn't say about other complaints. I find it ironic that JC helped MF off the hook for violence in 1978, and then took advantage of MF in 1995. It is also true that MF said on the tapes that he didn't plant or move evidence on the Simpson case.
Perhaps, the Justice Department had more resources than the police department, and perhaps, the Justice Department was not bound by the ties of the blue wall of silence and perhaps, the Justice Department was able to speak to officers who had retired and were no longer bound by the blue wall of silence, all of which, imho, would have made their investigation more credible. I feel that the magnificent one based his opinion on the report of the police department and perhaps, that is what caused him to become a defense lawyer fighting for those that had been abused by a part of the system to which he had been a part.
Of course MF said he didn't plant evidence, as the statute of limitations had not run out, as he told LHM not to use another incident for that very same reason.
William Anthony
03-13-2009, 05:44 AM
No William. He gave evidence in the criminal trial.

William Anthony
03-13-2009, 05:46 AM
No William. He gave evidence in the criminal trial.
Does that no in your response mean that you believe you or me have more experience in determining who is qualified as an expert than the judges in those trials mentioned by Dietz?

NOTES
Offender Profiling and Expert
Testimony: Scientifically Valid or
Glorified Results?
III. THE IMPERMISSIBLE ADMISSION OF OFFENDER PROFILING
Despite flaws in the fundamental logic underlying offender
profiling and the absence of any scientific study validating its
methodology, trial courts have admitted expert profiling testimony
routinely, and these decisions have been affirmed by some appellate
courts. Section A of this Part examines the validity of offender
profiling, as well as its general acceptance, and concludes that judges
should not admit this evidence as expert testimony under either Rule
702 or Frye. Section B discusses the different approaches adopted by
defendants and prosecutors who introduce expert offender profiling
testimony and surveys how courts have ruled on its admissibility.
Section C presents explanations for why offender profiling is admitted
as expert testimony despite its lack of evidentiary reliability.
