Mark Fuhrman

Mark Fuhrman is a retired Los Angeles Police Department detective with a 20-year decorated career. He is best remembered for his pivotal role in what the media billed as "The Trial of the Century," the criminal trial of O. J. Simpson.

Fuhrman speaks about the cases that divided America, the media, and law enforcement's responsibility in any case - high-profile or not.

Mark Fuhrman received more than 55 official commendations during his 20 years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Prior to his police career, he was a sergeant with the United States Marine Corps. 

After four trips to the press, his first book Murder in Brentwood sold more than 350,000 copies and was a #1 New York Times bestseller for three weeks. 

In his second book, Murder in Greenwich, also a New York Times bestseller, Fuhrman turned his investigator's eye to the 25-year-old unsolved murder of Martha Moxley. As a result of the renewed publicity generated by the book, a grand jury was convened to reopen the case resulting in the indictment, trial and conviction of Michael Skakel, nephew of Ethel Kennedy.

Murder in Spokane, the case of serial killer Robert Yates, was released in May 2001. CBS's 48 Hours will debut an episode featuring Mark and his Spokane account. Hollywood has found its way to the successful author with the option of both "Greenwich" and "Spokane" as Movies Of The Week. His drive time radio show "It's All About Crime With Mark Fuhrman" can be heard on Spokane's KXLY four days a week.

Fuhrman is a much sought after television and radio guest, having appeared on countless news shows. His criminal expertise was put to good use as a consultant for both ABC & CBS News, and he is frequently a special consultant to Court TV.
