Citing convicted felon perjurer racist Mark Fuhrman... 
Quote:
During cross-examination (in the OJ Simpson murder trial), Fuhrman, when asked by defense attorney F. Lee Bailey whether he had used the word "hahahahahaha", said he hadn't used the word in 10 years.
The defense produced four witnesses to establish that Fuhrman had used the word "hahahahahaha" more recently, as well as an audiotape contradicting his testimony.
This testimony eventually resulted in a perjury conviction.
In one 1985 recording, Fuhrman gave a taped interview to Laura Hart McKinny, a writer working on a screenplay about female police officers. In another interview, he talked about gang members and was quoted as saying, "Yeah we work with hahahahahahas and gangs. You can take one of these hahahahahahas, drag 'em into the alley and beat the shit out of them and kick them. You can see them twitch. It really relieves your tension."
He went on to say "we had them begging that they'd never be gang members again, begging us." He said that he would tell them, "You do what you're told, understand, hahahahahaha?"
With the jury absent on September 6, 1995, the defense asked Fuhrman whether he had ever falsified police reports or if he had planted or manufactured evidence in the Simpson case. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
On July 5, 1996, Lungren announced that he would file perjury charges against Fuhrman and soon thereafter offered Fuhrman a plea bargain. On October 2, Fuhrman accepted the deal and pleaded no contest to the charges. He was sentenced to three years' probation and fined $200.
As a result, Fuhrman is a convicted felon. Although he retired from the LAPD well before the plea, he is prohibited from ever serving as a police officer in most states again. He is the only person to have been convicted of criminal charges related to the Simpson case.

Not surprised that Fuhrman is a regular Fox contributer.
