and it was mark furman who allegedly found this spot on the outside of the bronco; is that correct? that s correct. mark furman would play a starring role in this unfolding drama, as would this man. i heard a thumping noise. how many thumps did you hear? three. did you ever expect what was going to happen when you got up there and took the stand? no. not at all. that was my first time in a courtroom in my entire life. and i think i was 35 at the time. his four days on the stand thrust him into the national spotlight. i even come up with a thing saying never has a man done so little to be recognized by so many. he says o.j. s maid never really liked him. well, sure, she had to work for her room and board. why was he so memorable?
