Kathleen Bell letter to Johnnie Cochran (People's 102)

Kathleen Bell's July 1994 letter to Johnnie Cochran describing her encounters with Mark Fuhrman at a Redondo Beach Marine recruiting station circa 1985–1986 and alleging racist statements about Black men with white women and the killing of Black people. Identified as People's 102 or Exhibit 102, it was displayed and read during Fuhrman's and Bell's examinations, cited by Bailey as inflammatory evidence introduced by the prosecution, and later used in closing argument; Fuhrman denied the described conversation occurred.
