Ito futher complicated the case when allowed Furhman’s prior racial comments in, despite having no evidence that a glove was planted. Clark and Darden were fighting with one hand behind their backs.
The biggest problem in this trial was Judge Ito.
He let it become a circus.
If I am not mistaken, the District Attorney at that time was Gil Garcetti. He is the father of the current Mayor of Los Angeles, Gil.
