(29,322 posts)It wouldn't have to be just him. Lots of investigators that were mishandling the evidence, another detective had OJ's blood on him for several hours instead of taking it straight to evidence. Then there was the issue of "lost blood", about 1.5 ml missing.
Being alone doesn't mean anything, other cops are unlikely to turn another cop in either because that is the way things are or they don't want the "rat" reputation to follow them the rest of their careers. The Rampart Scandal suggested planting evidence was the status quo of the LAP.
How often does a lead detective in a murder trial takes the 5th on a question asking if he/she planted evidence in the same murder trial though not opening the door to the perjury he already committed is a reasonable explanation but still damning nonetheless.
