Q. You say under oath that you have not addressed any black person as a nigger or spoken about black people as niggers in the past 10 years, Detective Fuhrman?

A. That’s what I’m saying, sir.

Q. So that anyone who comes to this court and quotes you as using that word in dealing with African Americans would be a liar, would they not, Detective Fuhrman?

A. Yes, they would.

Q. All of them?

A. All of them.

I felt that with that string of answers, Fuhrman had lied himself into a corner, and there is nothing easier to impeach than “never.” Why Fuhrman, who is not a stupid man, had chosen to answer with such an absolute, all-encompassing denial still eludes me. Even Jimmie Jones, back in my 1972 case, was wise enough to say, “I’m sure I’ve used it, yes, sir.”

Johnnie Cochran, who had seen more than his share of lying, racist cops, put it down to Fuhrman’s arrogance. He was probably right.
