💬 From the record:
Det. Mark Fuhrman was an LAPD detective who appeared as a witness in the preliminary hearing and criminal trial, undergoing direct, cross-, redirect, and recross-examination. In preliminary-hearing testimony, he described taking quick notes during his first minutes at the Bundy crime scene, then stopping and giving them to Detective Phillips after robbery-homicide took over. Later proceedings addressed recordings in which Fuhrman made racist statements and described police misconduct; references to Judge Ito’s wife, LAPD Captain Margaret York, prompted conflict-of-interest and possible-recusal proceedings.
