Mark Fuhrman Quotations

would be something that would help me develop a story wherein a very competent woman officer is transferred into a precinct where there is high crime and she is forced to work with an officer who is a member of this particular group, 'Men Against Women.'

Shortly after her feeding tube is removed, Terri Schiavo receives the Catholic ceremony of last rites. Michael Schiavo stays in a room down the hall. He remains at his wife's side throughout the day, except when her immediate family comes to see Terri.

Now those are the two--two examples -- pimps, three. They're your third... probably the three most worthless type people in a large city.

Nobody's reported my victories, my accomplishments, my true personality - the way I treat all people.

Rewards are directly proportional to the suspect and his peers' status in society: $100,000 was offered in the Moxley case. It meant nothing to millionaires.

I take full responsibility for my life and my career.

I think you have to look at these cold cases. If they're done properly, if the homicides are done properly, and everything's documented properly, you have a lot of concrete statements from those people that they would be able to look at them and refresh their memory.

I think it's pathetic that a court of law cannot be in a vacuum of the legal system, without the influence of the public threatening to do great bodily harm to people and property. It's really a pathetic statement for our country.

Johnnie Cochran hasn't spent 20 years serving people in low-income, minority neighborhoods, ridding them of gangs and narcotics. I have. He hasn't been shot at and punched. I have. I've paid my dues to be able to say I'm not a racist.

Most real good policemen understand that they would just love to take certain people and just take them to the alley and just blow their brains out.

That would mean that I would have to prejudge everybody and (in my job) that would be an impossibility.

Well, it looked similar to the glove at the Bundy scene.

We came in as a gang unit. We were tight. I mean we could have murdered people and got away with it.

...We kicked the door down, grabbed the girl,one of their girlfriends, by the hair,stuck a gun to her head, and used her as a barricade.

Why do they live in that area? That's where the n----- live.

What significance did you attach to it when you saw it, if any?

When I went through the Simpson case, I was a cop. Then I was a good cop. Then I was a bad cop. Then I had the media camped out in front of my house when I retired. Then, you know, I am the evilest thing on the planet. Then I write a few books, and then I start getting involved, like the Martha Moxley case.

Yes, you make mistakes in the old cases where you really think you know who the suspect is, and you probably do, and you make the mistake of relying on people.

You ask me, I say Fuhrman is 257 percent guilty.

When I testify, I'll testify. I don't need to sit around chewing my fingernails.

The written word is the only reason this case is going to be in a courtroom,

The Skakel family, when they married into the Kennedys, was so wealthy, they could have purchased the Kennedy family.

Any street cop knows you will be sued or involved in some type of litigation throughout your career.

A working detective has no hope of understanding what even experts who devote their lives to the study of criminal psychology can't figure out.

There was never a shred, never a hint, never a possibility - not a remote, not a million-, not a billion-to-one possibility - I could have planted anything. Nor would I have a reason to.

After the Simpson trial, after all the bad things Cochran was claiming, I became the most investigated officer in the history of the LAPD.

I know that on LAPD they have used psychics. They used it on the Hillside strangler case. I'm not sure on the Richard Ramirez case. I can't say one thing or another about it. I've read about it. I really don't have a lot to say about if it works or if it doesn't.

If you're a big celebrity, you get money to be private. I'm just a working stiff. I don't get bodyguards or alarm systems.

I had bought a farm, was trying to rebuild my life and just looking to be left alone. Then I get charged with perjury strictly for political purposes.

I don't think many people understand what racism is. The intellectuals use it like toilet paper; it's something they can use. It's not something they live.

If I could afford it, I'd buy 1,000 acres and put my house right dead-center.

I don't like having people pick me out on the street. I don't like the status - good, bad or indifferent. I don't like it. I want my private life back, and I'm never going to have it.

He put himself in the scene, doing, saying, everything that the murderer probably did, and the interesting thing about this is, that he also is trying to say Martha was alive,

I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I'm 'bad'.

When sincerity fails, the offer of money usually works.

Am I a racist? No. That simple. And if that's not good enough for you, too bad.
