TL;DR Summary

Former Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman, whose testimony in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial was challenged after a recording revealed racial slurs, has died at 74 in Idaho. He was convicted of perjury in 1996 for lying on the stand, later retired from the LAPD, and moved to a 20‑acre Idaho farm with his family, later working as a TV/radio commentator and author. The Simpson case ended with a criminal acquittal for Simpson but a 1997 civil verdict finding him liable for the deaths; the piece notes Simpson died in 2024 of prostate cancer in Las Vegas.
