Fuhrman May Not Have To Testify Again

Although Mark Fuhrman’s tapes have rattled the O.J. Simpson trial like a California earthquake, he may not have to testify again, even if the judge lets jurors hear some of the recordings, analysts say.

If Fuhrman invokes his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, he technically no longer has anything relevant to testify about, and California law protects him from having to take the Fifth in front of the jury.

“I think it’s very unlikely we’re ever going to see Mark Fuhrman again,” Loyola Law School professor Stan Goldman said.

What the trial will see this week is a lot of arguing over the Fuhrman tapes.
