Judge limits Fuhrman questioning in Simpson trial
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lance Ito barred prosecutors from asking detective Mark Fuhrman about racist remarks he allegedly made in 1981 or about moving evidence in a 1988 police shooting. He may allow questions about a 1985 or 1986 remark to Kathleen Bell at a Marine Corps recruiting station. The ruling preserves questions on Bell's sworn statement while excluding pension-case bias and 1988-move allegations. Opening statements are due Monday as Darden and Cochran clash over the N word and its impact on a largely African American jury.
