Summary: The Final Verdict
Review: The Final VerdictFor OJ to be guilty, you must believe that he quickly disposed of the bloody clothes, shoes, and knives so they would NEVER be found, yet brought the socks and glove back to his home! And then smeared blood all over the console! The coroner who did the autopsies testified "the forensic evidence says the murders occurred after 11PM". The limousine driver testified he brought OJ to the airport at that time. When you read this book, note how they avoid discussing these facts.

Summary: Fascinating look @ how police collected evidence against O J
Review: The reader is led through the collection of evidence against O.J. Simpson beginning when the authors were first called to investigate the case. Common misconceptions about the conduct of the L.A.P.D. are cleared up. The mistakes that were made by the detectives are dealt with frankly and honestly. This book is well written and is objective as possible given that it was written by persons so close to the case

Summary: Hard to stomach.
Review: This book isn't hard to stomach because of bad writing style or anything in that vein. It is hard to stomach because it describes, in detail, all the extremely incriminating evidence WHICH POINTED TO NO ONE BUT SIMPSON that was found by the detectives in this case and the Los Angeles Police Department which, inexplicably, was not raised by the prosecutors EVEN ONCE during the trial. This book proves Simpson's guilt beyond ALL doubt, showing that had ALL this evidence been displayed before the jury in the criminal joke (it's an insult to courtrooms and the hallways of justice throughout this world to call it a trial) then Simpson would have undoubtedly been convicted. But most of all, "Evidence Dismissed," like Vincent Bugliosi's "Outrage" proves once and for all that the TRUE blame for the loss of this case can be laid at the feet of the prosecution.

Summary: Not the Complete Evidence
Review: This is a very readable book that gives the viewpoints of the two detectives. It has no index; but you should not read it as a sole source. After the arrest of OJ, they both agreed "the overwhelming physical evidence makes this case appear more solid than any they had ever seen before" in their entire careers (p.193). Was this too good to be true? They interviewed the General Manager of Mezzaluna Trattoria, who had "admonished Goldman to use caution in his relationship with Nicole Brown", but didn't state the reason - another overlooked clue? They say both victims frequented the Mark Stevens Gym, but don't explain the implications (p.59). They talk about the blood sample freely given by OJ - about 8.5cc according to the preliminary hearing. When the amount became controversial, the testimony was later changed to 6.5cc! Could a 20+ year experienced nurse make this mistake? Vannatter picked up the two blood samples from the Coroner and carried them to the Scientific Investigation Division; but this was "unusual for a lead detective" (p.126). Could another irregularity have occurred? Steven Singular's "Legacy of Deception" says that "all the blood evidence is suspect". He also tells who planted the glove. Were the socks also planted? If a guilty OJ could get rid of the bloody clothes, shoes, and knives then the glove and socks would have disappeared as well. Dominique Brown pointed to a "black low-cut pair of shoes" as seen on OJ in Easter 1994; these are the Bruno Magli shoes with the Silga soles (p.215). No pictures of these shoes are given. Is this because they don't match any of those publicized photos? The prosecution claimed that the attack was quick and deadly, with little blood on the killer. If so, wouldn't that mean that the blood found at OJ's house had to be planted? The 25 to 30 stab wounds say it wasn't a short, quick fight. The stab wounds on Ron Goldman's right front and right back imply both a left-handed and a right-handed killers. This corresponds to the two different knife wounds noted in Nicole's autopsy: a single-edged hunting knife, and a double-edged stiletto. You can read it for yourself.

Summary: Dan Moldea always seems to bring out the real truth
Review: Truly excellent.. I like Moldea and his ability to weave through the hype to get at the truth

Summary: Excellent
Review: What an outrage....if this case intrigued you, then I suggest you read this book and read the "evidence dismissed". Well written, and fast paced, I couldn't put the book down. It really puts a cast of doubt on the justice system. And to know this man is still out there walking around free, while two people are not, is unbelievable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves true crime!
