Story4.5 out of 5 stars 196
For O.J. Simpson to get away with murder, an innocent cop, a brilliant detective, had to be destroyed. That was the cynical strategy of the Simpson defense. But as certainty about Simpson's guilt grew, so did the outrage about the scapegoating of Mark Fuhrman. Now the former LAPD detective tells his side of the story in a damning expose.

Story5 out of 5 stars 831
Justice Anthony Kennedy slipped out of the Supreme Court building on June 27, 2018, and traveled incognito to the White House to inform President Donald Trump that he was retiring, setting in motion a political process that his successor, Brett Kavanaugh, would denounce three months later as a "national disgrace" and a "circus". Justice on Trial, the definitive insider's account of Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court, is based on extraordinary access to more than 100 key figures - including the president, justices, and senators - in that ferocious political drama.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 166
On July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, a man in dark body armor and a gas mask entered a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises with a tactical shotgun, a high-capacity assault rifle, and a sidearm. Soon twelve were dead and fifty-eight were wounded. A Dark Night in Aurora uses the twenty-three hours of unredacted interview transcripts never seen by the public and Reid’s research to bring the listener inside the mind of a mass murderer. The result is chilling, gripping study of abnormal psychology and how a lovely boy named Jimmy became a killer.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,593
Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press. Levin shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within: “not government oppression or suppression”, he writes, but self-censorship, groupthink, bias by omission, and passing off opinion, propaganda, pseudo-events, and outright lies as news.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 545
From the outside, the prosecution's case looked bulletproof, but Marcia Clark knew better. Mountains of physical evidence connected O. J. Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Marcia On Point!

Publisher's Summary
Media and law enforcement work at cross-purposes. Law enforcement wants to solve a case as fast as possible and puts the guilty behind bars. The media wants a case to drag on as long as humanly possible and do all they can to extricate every last bit of drama, drop by bloody drop, in order to hold the attention of the millions of viewers who have gotten hooked.
Law enforcement must abide by rules. The media make their own rules, and even then break them or find ways to work loopholes into them. All that matters is ratings.
If people knew how it's done - how the media seduce, buy, bribe and corrupt, like an inevitable, malignant cancer on a murder investigation - they might be too sickened to buy the nexy ticket to the carnival. The unfortunate truth is that today, each murder has many victims, and high-profile murders can hurt innocent people who get burned by the spotlight, whether or not they sought it out themselves.
Fuhrman learned that firsthand as a police witness in the O. J. Simpson trial, a wrenching experience that showed how the criminal justice system can be manipulated by money, power, politics and fame.

Great book for the budding Criminologist
I got this book for research on an assignment into the media's influences on crime. The information in regards to that was limited although the stories were interesting. The apparently mishandling of cases us jaw dropping in some stories. Here kids are great read. The narrative is superb too although he had a way if pronouncing investigation that is unique.

Astoundingly hypercritical
What can I say - My Fuhrman works for FOX NEWS and spends most of this book criticizing the other TV channels for being one sided and unethical in the way they report stories. It was breathtakingly unbelievable. He constantly defends himself and talks up FOX (yes, FOX NEWS) for their unwaivering support of the victims and their sensitive approach to terrible stories of murder and assault. His description of how some other 'reporters' (he considers himself a crack reporter) have treated some people with mental health issues is terrible, however I've watched FOX for quite some time, as much as I can stomach at least, and the way *they* treat pretty much anyone who they believe is not exactly the same as them blows anyone else out the water. I would not recommend anyone, under any circumstances read or listen to this book/ audiobook/ kindle book/ excerpt in a magazine. Unless of course you are a white-lovin', gun totten' half wit who gets off on lies and almost hilarious deception.

The Murder sBusiness 4+ star
The book moves quickly and keeps the listener awake. Mr. Fuhrman needs to write more books just for those of us who enjoy true crime stories.
Why didn't Mr. Fuhrman mention the gloves? I listened twice and gloves weren't mentioned. The most curious part of the case. Also why didn't Mr. F ever mention Christopher Darden, the second chair of the offense?

So biased it is breathtaking
What disappointed you about The Murder Business?
The guy who wrote it works fir FOX NEWS, so spends most of the book accusing other networks of manipulation, one-sided reporting and political bias. Meanwhile, he can't rave enough about how fair Fox (yep; FOX) is, and how they have so much more integrity and respect for victims of crime.
Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Fuhrman again?
Not by choice. In fact, I'd rather pierce my eardrums
What didn’t you like about Kirby Heyborne’s performance?
He was reading this book
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Murder Business?
Well, it would end up being about 30 seconds long. Maybe I'd leave the intro
Any additional comments?
It's horrendous, and if it wasn't talking about people who have had terrible, terrible things happen to them, it would be funny. However, it is about people who've suffered things we couldn't imagine, so it's not funny, it's opportunistic and offensive.
