Exactly. The whole race thing should never have been allowed. There is just as much evidence (none) the LAPD framed him for his race as there is that they framed him for being a former NFL player or for being a USC grad or for being a wife beater. So you might as well quiz LAPD "do you hate football players?" "do you hate wife beaters?" Its not about Fuhrman - its about Ito allowing questions that had no relevance to the facts.

There has to be some standard on questions that are asked. Can the prosecution ask every defense witness if they've used the N word? Why not? Throw the question out there. The jury will automatically assume you've used it just by the question. That's how stupid this circus gets when you throw out the rule book on questions that can be asked.
