FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 16, 2024) – 9:00 AM PST

WHO: Mark Fuhrman, former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detective and central figure in the O.J. Simpson murder trial.

WHAT: Mr. Fuhrman has issued a formal public statement and will participate in an exclusive, multi-platform interview regarding the controversial forensic evidence collection protocols utilized in the 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman murder investigation. Specifically, Mr. Fuhrman alleges that systemic departmental failures, not individual misconduct, compromised the original crime scene.

WHEN: The statement was released at 8:00 AM PST today. The full, unedited interview is scheduled for broadcast and digital streaming at 8:00 PM EST on Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

WHERE: The interview was recorded at a soundstage in Denver, Colorado. The statement was disseminated via Mr. Fuhrman’s legal counsel.

WHY: Mr. Fuhrman claims that newly discovered internal LAPD documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, verify his long-standing assertions that a “chain of custody” breakdown occurred within the first four hours of the investigation. He argues this evidentiary lapse renders the “trial of the century” verdict scientifically questionable from a modern forensic perspective, independent of any racial or procedural controversies.

DETAIL: Mr. Fuhrman, who has maintained a low public profile for over two decades, states the interview will detail specific locations and times of evidence mishandling. He will not, however, address his prior perjury conviction or allegations of racism, directing all questions on those subjects to a pre-recorded legal affidavit.
