Disgraced former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, who rose to infamy for derailing the O.J. Simpson murder prosecution after it was revealed he had used the *-****, has died at age 74.

A close friend told TMZ — which first reported the news — that Fuhrman died of an “aggressive form of cancer” May 12.

Fuhrman found the infamous bloody glove purportedly linking Simpson to the gruesome 1994 killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman outside her LA home.

Disgraced. 🤔😵

Disgraced?

I didn’t know that.

“after it was revealed he had used the *-****”

❓❓❓

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He used “the N-word,” and was forever “disgraced” according the disgraceful boob-tube news.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Using “the N-word” is far worse than stabbing your ex-wife and boyfriend to death, don’t you know?

It’s the worst possible crime you can commit in America today.

[Red Badger]

He wasn’t disgraced.........

[rktman]

Well, yeah!

[sgt_lau]

Disgraced? Go watch an inner city basketball game and tell me what word you hear most. If it was that bad, they wouldn’t want anyone using it.

[apocalypto]

I would not call him disgraced. I will remember him for writing the book “Silent Witness: The Untold Story of Terri Schiavo’s Death”.

it was revealed he had used the *-****

???

[nickcarraway]

Racial slur.

[KC_Conspirator]

HE was never disgraced, these people are idiots.

[KC_Conspirator]

If I recall, he was reading a screen play script while trying out a part for a tv show. The script had the n word in it. So thats the story. Ridiculous.

>> It’s the worst possible crime you can commit in America today.

Yes, if you’re not a * and you say the *-**** within earshot of the wrong person. But if you’re a * and you call a * a * in a *-****** song or in a game of ***** you’re innocent.

[Bullish]

What was really “disgraced” was the idiotic, bigoted jury that wouldn’t convict OJ for double murder, not Furman for saying a wrong word.

[Orosius]

Fuhrman was known as the best detective on the LAPD. He found the bloody glove that tied OJ indisputably to the murder. That’s why Johnnie Cochran and company had to smear him and discredit him, and the incompetent prosecutors let them get away with it. That’s the only real disgrace here.

Whatever that is...
