I changed the murder weapon to a baseball bat," Dunne wrote of his process. "I also ... gave some Kennedy touches to the Skakels, whom I called the Bradleys. I threw in some of my own Irish Catholic family too. All of this was for libel reasons.")"

Exposure to Thimerosal increased beginning in 1989 and rose sharply during the early 1990s as new vaccines were added to the US childhood vaccine schedule. This increased exposure to mercury via vaccines coincided closely with increased case reports of neurodevelopmental disorders, including a dramatic increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cases and a rise in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

media condemnation of Michael's arrogance amplified because he appeared not to be paying attention as he cast his eyes downward toward the defense table. "My wrists were sore from writing 'Object Mickey! All lies,'" Michael said. During difficult testimony, Michael looked down at the photos of his son, George, and his black lab, Neeta. It was his method for keeping his PTSD symptoms at bay."

Dunne's M.O. never varied. He began by evoking his daughter's death in a soft-touch approach to the victim's family. Once his nose was under the tent, Dunne launched into reckless accusations; damning denunciation of the accused; anonymous tips; facts bent to fit his theories; and his reliable old chestnut: accusing power and wealth of evading justice.

After Dunne's book tour, Garr led several members of the Moxley investigation team on a visit to Dunne's home in Hadlyme, Connecticut, bearing gifts: a State Police plaque, a T-shirt, and a mug. They begged him to stop criticizing their work. Dunne agreed to a truce.

"I had open sores all over my body from the beatings. Bruising everywhere. I have a scar on my right buttock that never went away. I had to be taught how to speak and feed myself in a strait jacket for three months until I was well enough or sane enough to leave Hillside."

Garr, who, in addition to his role as evidence manager, was a key witness for the prosecution, never revealed his conflicts to Michael's lawyers or to the Court. His bosses in the police and prosecutor's office apparently knew of his covert deal and urged him to keep it quiet.

Fuhrman is a liar, a racist, and a bully. It's a great irony that he disgraced himself for his pivotal role in letting Simpson escape justice and then rehabilitated himself by helping to put an innocent man in prison for a murder he didn't commit.
