There is zero evidence that the LAPD planted any evidence in the OJ case, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 11 #7

I read a transcript of his police interview. That was damning enough. shrike3 Apr 11 #23

There's zero benefit of the doubt given to the LAPD now and even less than by people of color uponit7771 Apr 11 #25
