"I seem to remember during the trial that a preservative chemical was found in at least one blood sample from the crime scene. This implies that the blood was extracted from OJ into a blood-sample test tube (with preservatives) and then put at the crime scene. Do you recall any details about this?"
Yes. Also, the amount of blood taken from OJ that was missing from the tube was the amount found at the crime scene. The blood taken from OJ was supposed to be booked upstairs at the Crime Center, but instead was taken for some reason out to the crime scene and delievered to one of Mark Furman's associates who had it some time before turning it over to the Criminoligist. This breach in handling the chain of evidence is very serious.
The Defense 'proved' this aspect in court. Also proven was the bloody sock added to OJ's bedroom ... the evidence log was tampered with, and the video footage with time and date display proved the sock was added to the scene.
Mark Furman was proven a liar, impeached as a credible witness, and then retired. He was a known White Supremists associated with the Idaho Aryan movement. He moved to the same area in Idaho upon his retirement. He was later convicted for perjury, but plea bargained for no sentence.
The Aryan movement that Furman was associated with had a renegade member who gave clear evidence to Robert Wirth who published it in the book, Blood Oath. He took this information to the LA District Attorney who refused to consider it. The strange thing is that the Defense team also refused to use Wirth's material.
The bloody glove incident, for example, is too neat, too convenient that one glove is left at the scene and the other is left at OJ's back yard.
Notwithstanding this, the evidence proven in court, and revisited again during closing arguments showed beyond doubt that dirty business was done via tampering with evidence and planting evidence. Even if OJ had been guilty, no reasonable Jury could convict him on this fact alone. There is too much reasonable doubt.
The only fly-in-the-ointment against OJ was the missing piece of luggage that he left behind in Chicago ... for this does create circumstantial concern that he may have been hiding something. All other issues were properly dealt with by the defense.
The book by Wirth documents testimony given by the Aryan member who gave details that only a person associated with the crime would or could know about. And his full testimony provides a very compelling basis to conclude that OJ was set-up, and the purpose of that set-up was to instigate another round of racial war in Los Angeles, with the goal of spreading the same to the rest of the country.
One example of the Aryan set-up was to get inside OJ's house. They mention things that only a person familiar with his house would know ... including their interactions with the house maid. Notice that when she was questioned, she changed testimony, and promptly moved back to her latin American country. She was scared.
OJ's Bronco was tampered with, and an additional identical Bronco was used in the crime ... and the witness was able to give time frames that made sense, and explained matters in no other way.
The witness also gave out details to Wirth before they became public or were used in trial ... such as the timing of knocking on Kato Kalin's wall to attract his attention, etc. and ...
Finally, the Aryan renegade was on the run, and had to remain hidden because his 'brothers' were out to kill him for leaking the conspriacy.
I am not saying that what was told to Wirth is gospel, for it could be a good gag. But, it was so compelling as to explain all the loose ends, and provide evidence not made public that only the real criminals could have known ... that it is hard to ignore it, and certainly gives me reason to be neutral about OJ's guilt or innocence until the day that the truth comes out, whatever it proves to be.
