“Well, Robertson, I mistrial. We sat in our detective car and we said exactly that. We go, what do we do now? And we had a conversation about this, and I said, Well, we got the bloody fingerprint at Bundy. That's a dead bang. That's a plea out. There's no getting around that. And they go, and you have to remember, we're in an organization. If anything was the cause of an LAPD detective to stop that trial, LAPD would have been the bad guys.”

“Terrible. I have the same size hand, size 12. Me try on the globe. You don't take something that shrinks, that's been in an evidence locker, drying and shrinking. Leather is like human skin.

“She knew. She knew all about Ben Adder. She knew all about Roberts. She knew that Van Adder didn't find that evidence because Roberts told her exactly. She covered it up. She didn't want Roberts on the stand. Everybody was afraid Roberts would pull the rug out from underneath them. There's only two people that didn't do anything wrong in this case, and that was Robertson myself. Everybody else has something to run away from in that case.”

“They couldn't put Brad Roberts on because Phil Van Adder effectively testified that he found many things that Brad did, can't have Brad find in the same thing. It gets a little worse. Brad Roberts actually is watching this. I'm not watching anything. I was ordered not to. He's watching this and he's getting matter and matter. And Brad Roberts is the one that led Marcia Clark around the Rocking Hem Estate in the afternoon of June 13th and showed her everything that he and I had found. Marcia Clark saw right then the clothes in the washing machine. She saw the blood in the maid's half bath. Well, Van Adder never took any of the evidence. They just didn't take it. So now when Brad is the only person on the LAPD that was, I mean, even people directing.”

“I don't think there is any investigative, there's a few people that can do investigative journalism, but an investigative reporter is because they say they are. They don't have any experience in how to investigate. And the Simpson case is a perfect example. I mean, I was waiting, and so was my partner Brad Roberts, for just a question, just one question. And they would have had their career made. to this date. They still don't get it.”

“I think he always enjoys the attention. I mean, narcissism is probably his middle name. But, you know, he is personable. And he does engage people charming, very charming. And there was a lot of police officers that were his friends. And I knew a couple I personally was only up there once when Nicole and he were having a Battle, and you know, that's back before there was mandatory domestic violence laws. So if she doesn't want to sign a report, there's nothing we could do.”

“No, I think it's unfortunate for O.J. Simpson that somebody didn't really get control of him early on. You know, he was always kind of a bad boy on the fringe, and there was people that made money on him That kept him out of the media and law enforcement eye. And, you know, he was actually convicted of a misdemeanor in a domestic violence situation right there in West LA. And they couldn't do anything about that. But that should have been a wake-up call.”

“No, but I think that the peer pressure of both sides of that argument create people that are going to be followers and people that are going to be leaders. You go out drinking beer, there's one person that's the kind of leader of the group. And if you want to stay in the group, then you kind of agree. That's”

“Get to the station, my partner throws me a shotgun and a vest and goes, We got to go up to the Rockingham estate, he's on the run. So, I mean, that was an interesting day. When you talk about the media. You know, the media, there was like this unintentional converging of technology, reality, TV, board people, all these crime shows on TV. I mean, people were interested in this. And then all of a sudden we can give it to them and they realize, man, they're going to make a lot of money and they don't have to pay for actors.”

“The jury pool now they wanted it to be more racially balanced toward Simpson, and the prosecution did that. They were kind of like given in to that. They don't want to fight it and not have it in Santa Monica. Well, the jurors, people don't understand what it's like to live in a community where you have an icon, a hero. Now, the jury might hear everything and they might say, well, I understand why he's guilty, but their community doesn't understand why he's guilty. So they're not only passing that verdict because he was a football hero and because he was African American, they were protecting their own family, their own homes, themselves, because they convict him, they go back to the wrong community.”

“Well, because they didn't listen to the evidence. We convict people of one drop of blood in a partial license plate and they're on death row. And here we have 300 pieces of blood evidence and all the testimonial evidence and injuries on the suspect. Everything. I mean, there is no hole in the case. So the jury saw that, but you have to understand the jury. When they changed the venue of the case, brought it downtown.”

“I don't know if you ever do. I mean, you always have the what if roles through your head every once in a while, but you don't get over it. To describe it best, it's like the first week it looks like we've got this case, it's just so simple. I mean, you have to not step on evidence. There was so much evidence. Everywhere we looked, and there was a continuity that was incredible. It was like it was telling a story everywhere you went. There was no holes.”

“Van Edder figured that if O.J. Simpson was on location doing a movie about Navy SEALs and he purchased a stiletto, the full length was, and I am not exaggerating, it was over 13 inches, that he purchased that, so that must be the murder weapon. So in the prelim, they bring on the man that sold it to him, and now you're wedded to that. Now the prosecution has a problem. That knife blade was seven inches long and all of the knife wounds in both bodies that were actually stab wounds were four inches long. They were narrower and thinner than the stiletto. It was an impossibility of the stiletto, but now you eliminated the true murder weapon. You can't go back and pick another murder weapon. It's not like you get to keep picking until you get it right.”

“Yeah, they're the detectives that actually took over the case in the early morning hours and wanted to go up to Rockingham. He left half the evidence at Rockingham. They left probably a good percentage of the evidence at Bundy. They just didn't have any conscious awareness of a hot crime scene. They just didn't.”

“Marsha Clark and Chris Darden, I've never seen a case handled that way. They allowed the murder weapon to be eliminated. Phil van Adder completely routed them from having a murder weapon. They used DNA as a trump card to trump everything, and then they confused everybody that knew anything about DNA.”

“It was discovered, it was discovered by the Brown family, Nicole's parents, who took custody of the condominium two days later, they brought over a locksmith to change the lock.

“The suspect, Simpson, when he leaves there is a gate and there is a brass turnstile on that gate. Now he's injured to the left side of his body. His finger is cut. There's blood on his hand. He doesn't have a glove on this hand. He has a glove on this hand. The gate, there's a thumbprint right on the brass turnstile in blood as he went through. He pushed it open. Now, I found it. Robert's actually, Brad Roberts, my partner, actually saw it first. He showed me, and we go, wow, that's at least 10 points in quality, which it's a standard that that's an identification. So all these pieces of evidence, I'm noting, and then when I relinquish it, nobody read my notes for two months.”

“When you leave the crime scene, you kind of leave a pace and a consciousness of what the crime scene is. So there was a lot of evidence left at both scenes. I went back several times. I found blood. One day I went back, blood drops. Another day I was there with my boss. And I was just kind of looking around and I was moving things with my pencil and I go, I got some chewing gum here on the path where the suspect left to go back and get into a vehicle where the blood drops where the left side of the bloody shoeprints and he goes, would you stop finding evidence? And I'm sure it was a joke, but it was a large piece of bubble gum with at least three molar impressions. Now, for anybody that isn't in law enforcement, you have somebody in custody, you have a crime scene, you acquire evidence. That in some regards is almost like a fingerprint.”

“Oh, he and Nicole. Well, Simpson had a history of stalking her in a way that he wanted to see what she was doing. He would say, I'm leaving earlier than he actually would when he was going out of town. And then he would talk, I think he was spying on her. He knew about a relationship between her and Ron. I had uncovered this before the trial ever started. And I think he wanted to know exactly for some sick reason he wanted to see it for himself.”

“Well, yes, there's both of those things. See, at work. I never used that word. I never address anybody that way because you could see the problems that it created for other people. I watch this. This is totally unnecessary. There's all kinds of words that you can use to tell somebody that you don't like them very much. You don't need to do that. Then the other thing is once you open up that door, it's a never-ending door. But I wasn't thinking, I think, that far ahead in a projection. I was thinking in a personal sense, in my conduct as a police officer and how I treated people on the street and what I said to them. And that's the context of which a trial is supposed to be in. I never thought about those tapes as a fictional screenplay. I thought about those for years. It was like nine years before. I didn't even think about it. Nobody believes that.”
