If this is true, it sure does make the LAPD look bad. Of course, the O.J. dream team did a *pretty good job of making the LAPD look bad, at least to the jury.
Now there are reports that a folding Buck knife was found buried on Simpson's premises but kept from investigators by a cop who wanted it as a souvenir. See Buried Knife Found at O.J.'s Estate
We're told a construction worker found the knife years ago -- we have heard several different stories, ranging from "several years ago" to 1998, when the house was demolished.
The weapon is a folding buck knife.
Our law enforcement sources say the construction worker took the knife to the street, where he saw an LAPD cop. He told the officer where he found the knife and the cop took it. Turns out the cop -- who worked in the traffic division -- was off duty at the time, working security for a movie shoot at a house across the street on Rockingham. Our sources say the officer took the knife home and kept it ... kept it for years.
In late January of this year, after the cop retired from the LAPD, he contacted a friend who worked in LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division (RHD). The cop told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it framed to put on his wall. He wanted his friend to get the DR (Departmental Record) number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murder case, which he planned on engraving in the frame.
We're told the friend was indignant, and told his superiors. The brass was outraged and demanded that the retired cop turn the knife over, which he did.
The knife is being analyzed for blood evidence, according to the story.
*The one thing they did prove was that a good narrative can beat hard evidence.
