Mark Fuhrman — As the lead Los Angeles Police Department detective on the Simpson case, it was Mark Fuhrman who said he found a bloody glove at O.J. Simpson’s house hours after Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were discovered murdered. But Simpson’s defense team accused Fuhrman of planting evidence as part of a racist plot to frame the former football star. On the stand, Fuhrman testified that he had not used a racial epithet in 10 years, but defense lawyers undermined that testimony by playing a tape in which Fuhrman used the N-word and bragged that he had abused black criminal suspects. In 1996, Fuhrman pled no contest to a perjury charge and was sentenced to probation and a $200 fine — a deal that made it impossible to ever hold a police job again. He remains the only person convicted of a felony in the Simpson saga. He later wrote a book about the Simpson murders, “Murder in Brentwood” and became the host of his own radio show. He now works as a forensics expert for Fox News.(AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
