Should the past, present and future be perceived as parallel rather than linear?

Does string theory postulate the multiple dimensions that make this possible?

Does every moment in time create its own "frequency" on the planet's electromagnetic grid, and if so, what does this mean to science and our knowledge of history and ultimate truth?

Is time travel theoretically possible through the manipulation of this grid?

Nikola Tesla's concept of free energy for all via the use of electromagnetic energy in the atmosphere; i.e, electricity which is generated by the earth's rotation. (This is the same rotation that is responsible for hurricanes.)

 Why LBJ killed Kennedy The only mystery in the Kennedy assassination is why Johnson or Arlen Specter  were never indicted for it. How Mac Wallace's fingerprint connects Johnson directly to the assassination. See why both parties gain from obstructing justice, and why the man second only to Johnson in orchestrating the deception is now Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee that oversees the nominations of our Supreme Court judges.

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress...who, having previously taken an oath...to support the Constitution of the United States, engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof..."

14th Amendment, US Constitution

Ratified in 1868, this amendment specifically targeted the KKK. Designed to negate the influence of oath-bound "ex-Klansmen" in high office, this amendment was crudely violated when FDR appointed Klansmen Hugo Black into Supreme Court. Others would follow.

                                                           FADE IN

            EXT. BUS STOP—DAY

            The camera tracks a white feather as it slowly descends upon
            the barren, ebony scalp of O.J. Simpson prosecutor, Chris
            Darden. He is munching on some Oreos. He's clad Forrest Gump
            style. Sitting beside him is a woman attempting to read the
            paper. Darden picks up the feather curiously as he adjusts
            his granny glasses, and puts it in his briefcase. He then
            combs his imaginary hair before a pocket mirror, and
            continues to munch on his Oreos.

                                DARDEN
                          (leans over to offer a cookie,
                           with a lisp)
                      Ma'am, would you like an Oreo?

                                WOMAN
                      No thank you.

                                DARDEN
                      My momma says I'm just like an Oreo.
                      Black on the outside, white on the
                      inside. I never knew what she meant.

                                WOMAN
                      I think she meant you're ashamed of your
                      African American heritage.

                                DARDEN
                      She's insane! My flaxen blonde hair and
                      blue eyes betray her denial!

                                WOMAN
                      What I would like though, is for you to
                      keep your skanky ass breath away from me.
                          (She continues reading the
                           paper, trying to ignore him.)

                                                            LAP DISSOLVE

                                                                     TO:

            EXT. SOUTHERN ESTATE—LATE AFTERNOON

            Two parallel lanes of trees form a beautiful canopy of
            foliage leading to a large white house, a former plantation.
            A young Chris Darden is walking home from law school with
            Marcia Clark. Darden is wearing orthopedic braces on his
            legs, walking awkwardly. The town bully, a young Mark
            Fuhrman, drives up in his old blue truck with a load of
            friends. They start to chase Darden, and the passengers in
            the back chuck rocks and garbage at him.

                                BULLY 1
                      Hey! It's that freshman retard from law
                      school. Don't let us catch ya man!

                                FUHRMAN
                      I just lost my job at the March of Dimes
                      for teasin' your cry-baby ass, and I
                      reckon a cripple whuppin' will just about
                      rectify this here injustice!
                                                                 CUT TO-

                                CLARK
                          (terrified)
                      Run Chris! Run!

            A frightened Darden runs with all his might, but is pitifully
            hampered by his leg braces as the truck bears down on him.
            Suddenly, in a newfound burst of energy, the braces fall off,
            and he runs like a gazelle, miraculously outrunning the
            truck. He looks back, the truck is stalling.

            EXT. SKATING RINK
            Outside a skating rink, a drunk French hockey player is about
            to drive home as his friends vainly plead for him to
            designate a driver. Moments later, Darden is run down by the 
            drunk hockey player's Zamboni as it hits speeds reaching up to 5 miles per hour.
            INT. SLEAZY BAR, THE GARCETTI INN-- NIGHT
            Marcia Clark, sitting butt naked on a stool playing folk
            guitar, entertains the rowdy guests as Darden walks in and is
            aghast. His granny glasses steam. Never had Bob Dylan ever
            been so bastardized. In the meantime Marcia is attempting to
            pass off as a study in dignity and grace. Her legs are
            crossed, she carefully shields her breasts with her guitar as
            she plays…. terribly. A SLOW PAN reveals a few celebrities in
            the audience: Barbara Walters is moved to tears, throws her
            panties. A tipsy Andy Rooney is on his knees before her,
            bowing in homage before passing out on the floor.
                          MARCIA
                          (to Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the
                           Wind")
                      How many times 
                      must a man stab a heart 
                      before it ceases to beat? 
                      yes'm, how many times 
                      must O.J. beat Nicole?.
                      before she runs down the street? 
                      The answer my friend 
                      is blowin' in the wind 
                      the answer is blowin' in the wind 

            Darden picks her up against her will; one hand over his eyes
            to so as not to see her nakedness. He forces her into the
            truck and drives away…before stopping at a bridge...

                                DARDEN
                      I'm takin' you home, Marcia! We've got
                      school tomorrow!

                                MARCIA
                      Let me out!

            EXT. BRIDGE- NIGHT

            Clark exits the vehicle totally enraged. He chases the
            troubled naked freak and grabs her by the arms.

                                DARDEN
                      I'm taking you home Marcia! I can't
                      believe you forgot your clothes again!

                                MARCIA
                      Let me go! I was just about to land a
                      contract with those Hard Crappy
                      producers, you damned fool! How dare you
                      embarrass me like that in front of them?

                                DARDEN
                      But we have a case tomorrow!

                                MARCIA
                      Let me go or I swear I'll kill you!

                                DARDEN
                      You're already killing me! With desire!
                      With an unquenchable longing whose
                      constant pangs are enough to make a grown
                      man cry…and circumcise himself!

                                MARCIA
                          (pukes on his shirt)
                      L-Leave me alone, or I'll make sure that
                      disgusting foreskin corsage you gave me
                      is sent to the proper authorities, and
                      the media!

                                DARDEN
                      See? You kept it! Don't deny your passion
                      for me Never again shall a Negro woman
                      sully my lips! Once I thought I was a
                      black man, so steeped in denial and white
                      guilt was I! But you, my sweet Hebrew
                      angel, you brought me to the light! Kiss
                      me you fool!
                          (Darden closes his eyes and
                           puckers his lips. Marcia slams
                           her fist into his mouth.)

                                MARCIA
                      I told you I have a boyfriend! Tammy
                      Bruce!

                                DARDEN
                          (hurt)
                      So maybe it is true. Maybe you are a
                      slut! Maybe our tryst under Judge Ito's
                      desk was not your first time!

                                MARCIA
                          (blushes crimson and slaps him)
                      How dare you impugn my integrity?

                                DARDEN
                      You're standing butt naked in the middle
                      of the street, Madonnastyle, for all to
                      see. Now my dog, chickens, and my
                      houseplants may giggle when I call myself
                      an attorney, granted, but you'd bring the
                      house down when it comes to denial.

            Marcia is simmering. A high school bus full of football
            players slams the brakes for a peek at Marcia's free vittles.
            She leaves Darden and finds her ride home. O.S. helicopter
            gunship

            EXT. VIETNAM JUNGLE—DAY

            It's 1967. Darden hops off a Huey to join his platoon in the
            hot jungle brush, searching Charlie.

                                LT. DAN
                      Hey Darden, where's your helmet?

                                DARDEN
                      I threw it out, sir!

                                LT. DAN
                      You what?!

                                DARDEN
                      When I put it on again I realized someone
                      took a crap in it again, sir! I think it
                      was the Negroes, sir!

                                LT. DAN
                          (incredulous)
                      You're the only black man in this platoon
                      ya moron! And you want to be an attorney?

                                DARDEN
                      But that's what Fuhrman said when he gave
                      my helmet back to me

                                LT. DAN
                      When was that?

                                DARDEN
                      Right after he asked me for a roll of
                      toilet paper.

                                LT. DAN
                      Hey Fuhrman! Who crapped in the "special"
                      kid's helmet? You did didn't you?

            Private Fuhrman is nearby, roasting marshmallows on a ten
            foot burning cross. He approaches them nervously and salutes.
            On his helmet he has scrawled white power and a swastika.

                                FUHRMAN
                      I must plead the fifth, sir! I refuse to
                      answer on the grounds I may incriminate
                      myself!

                                LT. DAN
                      Since you could have denied it, I'll take
                      that as a yes. Just for that, I'm
                      confiscating your Nazi polka record
                      collection! Dismissed! And eh, by the
                      way…gimmie your lunchbox.

                                FUHRMAN
                      No, please, not that…

                                LT. DAN
                      Gimmie. Now.

            Fuhrman reluctantly fetches his "Hungry Hitler" lunchbox. LT.
            DAN proceeds to chuck it on the ground and urinate on it.

                                FUHRMAN
                      That was an heirloom from my grandpa in
                      the SS! How could you?

                                LT. DAN
                      How does it feel? Not to good, does it?
                      Now let that be a lesson to you!

            Fuhrman is devastated, and forces back the tears, lips
            quivering.

                                DARDEN
                          (indignantly)
                      But it was the Negroes sir! Private
                      Fuhrman told me that a white man would
                      never crap in my helmet, and I believe
                      him!

                                LT. DAN
                      Shut up, Darden, because I find myself
                      hungry for a moral and justifiable excuse
                      to slap the shit out of a retarded man
                      right now….and I think this is it!

                                DARDEN
                      Yes sir.

                                LT. DAN
                      Now put some camouflage on that shiny ass
                      scalp of yours! That infernal glare will
                      give us away to the enemy, ya hear me?

            EXT. JUNGLE

            A Viet Cong spotter sees a bald scalp shining through the
            thick jungle brush like a beacon. Immediately, Darden's
            platoon is fired upon. A mortar round hits Lt. Dan and blows
            off his legs. The radio man beside him is blown to bits.
            Darden rushes to Lt. Dan.

                                DARDEN
                      I'll save you!

                                LT. DAN
                      Get away from me you freak, because if I
                      live I'm gonna court-martial your stupid
                      ass! This is all your fault! Do you know
                      how many men you've cost me? May you and
                      your brand new scalp buffer burn in hell,
                      my friend, burn in hell!!!

                                DARDEN
                      It's okay! You're gonna be alright! I'll
                      save you!

                           struggles to lift him)
                      My legs! Oh my legs! Son of a bitch! My
                      dreams…gone now! All gone! Now I'll never
                      get to kick you in the face before this
                      war is over!
            Darden picks up Lt. Dan and runs to safety.

            TITLE CARD: MANY YEARS LATER....

            L.A. CRIMINAL COURTS BLDG.--  DAY
            INT. ITO'S COURTROOM

            Marcia Clark walks up to the podium with the Sunday comics. 
            She prepares a cartoon to argue her next motion.

                                CLARK
                      I understand it's unusual for an attorney
                      to bring a newspaper to court, but
                      sometimes even a cartoon can be edifying.

                                ITO
                      And this cartoon will support your motion
                      to allow for the viewing of the autopsy
                      photos again?

                                CLARK
                          (earnestly)
                      Indeed it will.  Don't let appearances
                      deceive you.  Lizard Man is regarded by
                      authorities as highly cerebral material.

                                ITO
                      Please present a copy of the cartoon in
                      question to the defense.  Proceed.

            She gives the defense a copy, then puts the cartoon on a
            projector as she follows the cartoon frame by frame.
                          (O.S. cue Samuel Barber's
                           "Adagio for Strings")

                                CLARK
                      In the first frame, a little boy is
                      watching the Simpson trial and wondering
                      what the forbidden "N" word is.  Finally
                      he asks Lizard Man what it is and he says
                      "Nicole".
                          (with an overt tug at the heart
                           strings, she bursts into
                           crocodile tears; her inanities
                           underscored by her arms
                           flailing and sweeping into
                           air)

                                ITO
                      That cartoon is wearing thin.  First it
                      was with the Fuhrman tapes.  Now what
                      does this Lizard Man cartoon have to do
                      with the autopsy photos?

                                CLARK
                      It puts the trial in perspective on a
                      human level.

                                                                  CUT TO

            In the front row of the courtroom, Marcia has placed a STRING
            SECTION from an orchestra. LS: ITO flings his GAVEL at
            CONDUCTOR'S head.
  
                                ITO
                          (to Marcia's string section)
                      Will you shut up??!!!
                          (takes a deep breath)
                      Listen, Marcia, I don't want to see you
                      come in here with the funny pages to
                      argue your motions anymore; especially
                      when you swipe them from my paper. Buy
                      your own paper.

                                COCHRAN
                      Yeah, Marcia—I can assure you that your
                      inane and transparent motions are funny
                      enough as they are.

                                CLARK
                      That's totally unfair!  We hear all this
                      whining about the defendant's right to a
                      fair trial.  But don't the victims have
                      rights?  The Goldmans have a right to
                      swim in Simpson's pool.  They have a
                      right to take his estate even before
                      Simpson's guilt is determined.

            Chris Darden reaches into his bag of tricks, get an onion,
            splits it, and rushes over to Marcia with a yellow rubber
            ducky.  The prosecution lawyers huddle.

                                CLARK (CONT'D)
                      Your honor—could you give us a minute? 
                      Chris is having trouble assembling the
                      tracks for his Hot Wheels...

                                ITO
                      Is this going to take forever?  You know
                      we have a jury waiting.

                                CLARK
                      It might.

                                ITO
                      Proceed.

                                DARDEN
                          (whispers into her ears, takes
                           the split onion and rubs it
                           under Marcia's eyes)
                      Here—try the duck!  Gloria Allred says
                      the duck always works for her!
                          (Marcia grabs the duck, still
                           in its original carton, and
                           suddenly bursts into tears.)

                                CLARK
                      I—I'm very sorry your honor!  I'm
                      watching a dream shatter before my very
                      eyes...and though that dream does not
                      belong to me, I bleed from every pore for
                      the surviving victims in question.

            Marcia bursts into tears and clutching the duck, she wails
            like a banshee, then writhes on the floor in agony.  Then she
            tears out her hair and rips her clothing, climaxed when she
            walks over to a potted plant and symbolically throws soil
            into her face...

                                CLARK (CONT'D)
                      Forgive me for this outburst, Your Honor.
                          (regains some of her composure)
                      But just look at the duck, Your Honor! 
                      Still in its original package. By now it
                      should be in O.J.'s swimming pool; in the
                      loving hands of Kim Goldman!  But no.  We
                      had to be sidetracked with this non-issue
                      like the fact that O.J. is innocent.

            F. Lee Bailey immediately rises; enraged.  In fact, the whole
            defense table except Cochran does.  They have a copy of the
            same paper, and instead of "Nicole" it reads the forbidden
            "N" word is "Neilsens".

                                COCHRAN
                      Objection!  Move to strike that comment! 
                      We have the same paper and it reads
                      differently.   It's supposed to read that
                      the forbidden "N" word is "Neilsens"!  
                      As in Neilsen Ratings, which is basically
                      what this trial has boiled down to….

                                ITO
                      Johnny, that's an insult to this court
                      and to our honorable, chaste, and
                      dignified friends at NBC, "Dateline", and
                      "Hard Copy". 
                          (flashes toothy grin as he
                           looks into the camera)
                      Yes folks, check your local listings!

                                COCHRAN
                      I object!

                                ITO
                      Ahem. I digress. Council, call your first
                      witness.

            Marcia Clark prepares to question 
            Mark Fuhrman on his Klanmobile's "Jew Killer" license plate. 
            CU: We see exhibit 23- The KLANMOBILE is a white van with a
            burning cross on the roof. 

            The witness takes the stand as prosecutor Marcia Clark
            prepares to question him.

                                BAILIFF
                      Do you swear to tell the whole truth, and
                      nothing but the truth, so help you God?

                                FUHRMAN
                      Silly Negro, I am God.  I am truth.

                                BAILIFF
                          (shaking head)
                      You may take the stand.

                                MARCIA
                      Good afternoon ladies and gentle of the
                      jury.  Good afternoon Detective Fuhrman.
                          (clears throat)
                      If you look on the monitor to your
                      immediate right, you will notice a
                      license plate on the rear of your van
                      that reads "Jew Killer."  Does this
                      license plate belong to you, or was it
                      placed there, perhaps, by some malicious
                      advocate for the defendant?
                                                                 CUT TO—

            Defense attorney Johnny Cochran rises angrily.

                                COCHRAN
                      I object, your honor!

                                ITO
                      Sustained. Ms. Clark, please refrain from
                      such prejudicial speculation.  Please
                      answer the question, Mr. Fuhrman.

                                FUHRMAN
                      Of course not. I wouldn't stick that
                      racist garbage on my car. Mine just says
                      "Aryan Power"
                          (suddenly grows pale, loses
                           composure)
                      I mean it says "SHALOM!"  No, wait, I
                      don't even own a car, that's right!

                                MARCIA
                          (perplexed)
                      Det. Furhman, are you okay?  Is something
                      bothering you?  Did Johnny Cochran
                      threaten to make you his "deflowered
                      Aryan bitch" again?

                                ITO
                          (impatiently)
                      Marcia….

                                MARCIA
                      Okay, sorry…strike that last comment.

                                FUHRMAN
                          (nervous and pale, he fidgets
                           in his chair, and drops his
                           gaze)
                      It's the pressure. That bothers me. And
                      the lies.  Look, I can't take this
                      anymore!  Maybe I will tell the truth!

                                MARCIA
                      You know you don't have to do that. Just
                      answer the questions

                                FUHRMAN
                      I know. But I want to tell the truth. 
                      Now is the chance for me to take a stand
                      for the white race.

                                MARCIA
                      You can't be a racist.  I'm a Jew, Darden
                      is black, and we're your friends.  We've
                      always been friends.

                                FUHRMAN
                      Oh shut up you yammering heeb.  You're
                      both a couple of crooked-ass posers, and
                      I'd hate you even if you were both Aryan.

                                MARCIA
                      As you can see, ladies and gentleman of
                      the jury, Detective Fuhrman has a
                      delightful sense of humor-

                                FUHRMAN
                      First of all, I accept full
                      responsibility because it was my idea. 
                      The others, like Lange and Vanatter, they
                      were dragged into it. Well, invited
                      rather.
                          (Fuhrman stands, points at O.J.
                           Simpson)
                      Judge Ito, you must free this man. 
                      Whether or not he was responsible in any
                      way for the murders is no longer the
                      question here, we may never know now…and
                      that was the objective. I planted the
                      glove. I framed him. The case was ruined
                      from the start.
                          (Fuhrman slumps back into the
                           witness chair)

                                MARCIA
                      Your honor, I move to strike…

                                ITO
                      On what grounds?

                      He's embarrassing me.

                      No shit. Proceed.

                                FUHRMAN
                      I planted the glove. I called Tracie
                      Savage from KNBC and told her about the
                      blood on the socks beings Simpson's….a
                      week before the socks were even tested. 
                      I framed that jigaboo out of sheer
                      malice, but I swear I'm not a racist!

            A NETWORK EXECUTIVE shows her a chart with the lastest
            Nielsen ratings. Seeing her Nielsen ratings are now in
            jeopardy, MARCIA becomes desperate and quickly interrupts.

                                MARCIA
                      Your honor, I move to strike, the witness
                      clearly is delusional.

                                FUHRMAN
                      Oh, and I kicked his dog Kato too!!

                                COCHRAN
                      I object! The witness has just perjured
                      himself, exonerated Simpson, and
                      furthermore, admitted to cruelty to
                      animals!  Your honor, may I approach the
                      bench?

                                ITO
                      Sustained. Yes, you may.

            COCHRAN approaches FUHRMAN with some photographs handed to
            him by F. LEE BAILEY.  Cochran checks Fuhrman's shoes and
            shoe size.

                                COCHRAN
                      He's not delusional!  In fact, on June
                      13, 1995, a vet just happened to
                      photograph a jackboot imprint on the
                      dog's flank; imprints that match those on
                      Fuhrman's shoes this very day!  We submit
                      that this fully explains why Kato the dog
                      now walks with a permanent limp.

                                FUHRMAN
                          (reviewing pictures)
                      It's true.  That steel toe imprint is
                      mine  The M.F. initial's—mine. I stamped
                      them on that mutt with a swift and well
                      aimed kick.  But not all is lost, I think
                      I know the true killers.

                                MARCIA
                      And how do you know your information is
                      true?  Where did you find them?

                                FUHRMAN
                      I was sent the bloody knives, some of
                      Nicole's hair, and a business card. 
                      Would you like to see them?

                                MARCIA
                      No, we wouldn't. We know who the true
                      killer is. It's Mr. Simpson, wife-beating
                      demonic beast in the courtroom.

                                FUHRMAN
                      See, you're the one that's racist. 
                      Simpson couldn't have done it. The
                      victims weren't speared or cannibalized.

                                COCHRAN
                      I object!  We deeply resent that racist
                      comment and the one before it, but
                      grudgingly appreciate its impeachment
                      value.  Please ask counsel to continue
                      that line of questioning.

                                ITO
                      Proceed.

                                FUHRMAN
                      Besides, there aren't any prints on the
                      knives. The real killers videotaped the
                      killing to document the hit for their
                      boss, and OJ wasn't in it—he was on a
                      plane by then.  There was at least three-
                      one was in charge of the videotaping. 
                      And they could afford to be sloppy
                      because the hit was approved by the
                      LAPD…and later, Garcetti.

                                MARCIA
                      Do you respect the respectable and
                      intelligent people of the jury to believe
                      that nonsense?  Do you think you can fool
                      these noble and selfless people of the
                      jury?

            The JURY FOREMAN is bored.  He secretly grabs a pocket mirror
            and aims it at Darden's shiny bald scalp to deflect the
            bright camera lights.  The foreman adjust the pocket mirror's
            angle…

                                                                 CUT TO-

            And  Marcia is immediately blinded.  She squints and
            stumbles; knocks over the court reporter.

            She gets up, dusts herself, and points a bony, accusing
            finger at a wall.

                                MARCIA (CONT'D)
                          (squints)
                      Look at the jury, Mr. Fuhrman.   Don't
                      you know that angels walk with them in
                      counsel?  Don't you know that they, the
                      honorable ladies and gentlemen of the
                      jury, have nothing but contempt for
                      liars?

            The FOREMAN nods grimly, and gives her the finger.  Then he
            furtively takes a rubber band, rolls up a tiny piece of
            paper, flattens it and forms it into a projectile.  When
            MARCIA is close enough and facing DARDEN near the podium,
            Darden stands up to hand her some documents, and the foreman
            shoots her in the butt.  Assuming Darden goosed her because
            of his proximity, she slaps him.

                                MARCIA (CONT'D)
                      Fresh! How dare you! 
                          (under her breath)
                      Not now!

                                DARDEN
                      What the hell are you talking about?

                                FUHRMAN
                      But Marcia, did you guys see the tape of
                      the killers?  I gave it you this morning
                      along with the bloody knives and
                      fingerprint samples from the hit men, and
                      I included their Interpol files,
                      confessions, resumes, and home and work
                      numbers.

                                SHAPIRO
                          (rises from the Defense table)
                      Your honor, we were not presented with
                      any of that exculpatory evidence!  This
                      is a gross miscarriage of justice!  In
                      the interests of common decency, please
                      drop the case right now and stop this
                      mockery of justice while we still can! 
                      Fuhrman already confessed!

            XCU:  Prosecutor CHERI LEWIS reaches into her briefcase and
            pulls out some files marked "INTERPOL."  Meanwhile, DARDEN
            quietly sets up a paper shredder under their table and gets
            to work on the confessions, files. He hums loudly to drown
            out the shredder, unsuccessfully of course.

                                ITO
                      Well? What did you do with evidence,
                      Counsel?

                                MARCIA
                      Uhhh….I'm glad you asked.  Yes, Fuhrman
                      did give us the aforementioned tape, but
                      there was an unforeseen accident  We sat
                      down to watch it…

                                ITO
                          (heaves a deep sigh)
                      This better be good. This just better be
                      good…

                                MARCIA
                      Actually, it was an accident very similar
                      to what happened to you.  We sat down to
                      watch the tape and I accidentally pressed
                      the record button., but I can assure you,
                      your honor, there was absolutely no
                      malice intended or wrought.

            Marcia goes to retrieve the video.

            PAN to Darden and Cheri at the prosecution table.  He leans
            over to Cheri and asks her a question as she cleans the blood
            off the two knives.

                                DARDEN
                          (smoothly)
                      Hey Cheri, Marcia told me you can't get
                      over my new cologne. It's called "Cruel
                      Ambitions" for Men.

                                CHERI
                          (puts the knives and cleaner
                           down, and bitterly points to
                           the hives and scratches on her
                           arms)
                      She's right. I can't get over the
                      allergic reaction its giving me.  I can't
                      get rid of these damned hives!

                                DARDEN
                      Is that's what's bothering you? I'm here
                      for you, pretty baby!

            Marcia finds the video and approaches the bench.  She returns
            to the podium.

                                ITO
                      Counsel, this is a how-to home video copy
                      of  "Mark Fuhrman's Framing and Perjury
                      for Idiots."

                                MARCIA
                      No it's not!

                                ITO
                      And it's overdue at Blockbuster Video.

                                MARCIA.
                      Oh, wrong one.  It's right here…
                          (quickly retrieves another)

            Marcia approaches the bench, hands Ito the other video. He
            takes a brief recess in his chamber.  Then walks out. 
            Peeved.

                                ITO
                      Ms. Clark, please tell the court how you
                      managed to erase the tape from beginning
                      to end?

                                MARCIA
                      This happened to you with another tape in
                      question, your honor.  It's not like
                      these things don't happen.

                                COCHRAN
                      I object! She erased the whole tape
                      without knowing it?  With all due respect
                      your honor, this is preposterous!  It was
                      deliberate and malicious destruction of
                      exculpatory evidence! You only erased a 
                      few seconds of the audio tape wherein
                      Fuhrman bragged about setting up suspects
                      and planting weapons and drugs on them! 
                      And you erased the copy, not the master!

                                ITO
                          (mulls it over)
                      Sorry, Johnny.  She's got me there.  A
                      VCR can be pretty tricky nowadays., with
                      all them buttons on them and stuff.  My
                      apologies, Counsel. Proceed.
                          (O.S. A grinding, loud rattle.)

            The sound stuns the court.  The proceedings are halted. 
            Darden's portable paper shredder malfunctions because he
            tried to shred the two bloody knives.  Cheri slaps him upside
            the head so hard she leaves a pale imprint of her hand.

                                CHERI
                          (seething)
                      You idiot! I said "I can't get rid of
                      these hives," not "knives"!!! What did
                      you think I meant?

                                DARDEN
                          (sheepishly)
                      What? You think I'm stupid?

                                ITO
                      Mr. Darden, what did I tell you about
                      beepers and paper shredders in the
                      courtroom?

                                CHERI
                      Your honor, Darden has a learning
                      disability… you'll have to…

                                ITO
                      Darden can speak for himself.
                      Theoretically.  Now Chris, you've been
                      warned. Proceed.

                                MARCIA
                      Thank your honor.  Mr. Fuhrman, do you
                      speak of your own free will and confess
                      to framing Simpson; or were you
                      blackmailed by Cochran, Douglas, and
                      Shapiro as they chased you down an
                      alleyway with chains and bats when you
                      refused to buy their crack?

                                FUHRMAN
                      Of my own free will. I framed him.  I
                      took some vials from the lab and planted
                      the glove, and the drop on the back of
                      the white bundy fence. Yes, and even the
                      socks. That why there was no blood
                      spatter.

                                MARCIA
                      And the footprints?

                                FUHRMAN
                      The photos you used of Simpson were
                      doctored with a matte insert. I'm sure
                      you know that. 
                      If they weren't, you'd have given access
                      to the original negatives to the defense.

                      But that would make Simpson innocent of
                      this murder. And that cannot be. The
                      whole world knows that. Everyone knows
                      he's guilty. I know that, you know that.

                      Don't you understand you simp? I set him
                      up!  There was no evidence linking
                      Simpson directly to the crime!  If there
                      was, my services would never have asked
                      for!

                      Mr. Fuhrman, are you on any medication or
                      street drugs right now that are affecting
                      your cognitive abilities?

                                FUHRMAN
                      None, unless you count estrogen, which is
                      none of your damned business anyways!

                                MARCIA
                      So what you're telling us is that you
                      didn't frame Simpson.

                                FUHRMAN
                      No, you ignorant sow! I'm telling you I
                      did!  Can't you get through your thick,
                      self-infatuated heeb skull?

                                MARCIA
                      I see.  So let's say you're not stark
                      raving mad, and did frame Simpson. Does
                      that mean he's innocent?

                                FUHRMAN
                      Legally, yes.

            The lights in the courtroom suddenly flicker and dim.  To the
            amazement and terror of all, two ghosts appear in front of
            the jury.  It's RON and NICOLE.  It's a gory scene, both are
