It seemed a natural counterpoint to Dumb & Dumber, the prosecutions internal nickname for Lead Detectives Vannatter and Lange. To what degree have they earned their name? We'll let you be the judge.
Vanatter & Lange's view
Evidence Dismissed
published by: POCKET BOOKS, as told to Dan E. Moldea, 1997
.., evidence brought to the prosecution by Lange and Vannatter and then dismissed by them was evidence embraced by the plaintiff's attorneys, inculding the detectives' June 13th tape-recorded interview with Simpson, which included all of his conradictions and inconsistancies, as well as his lack of a remotely credible alibi."

To the very end, Lange and Vannaterr have failed to understand why Clark avoided much of their "evidence". As these pages evolve, you will understand why every conclusion and assertion incorporated in the above quotation proves the high degree of accuracy invoked when referring to them as "Dumb & Dumber". As a quick example, can you see why Clark didn't want to use Heidstra, or anything which placed the murders after 10:30 PM on the night of June 12th?
What was Known by Clark, she reacts
| A | Learned at 5:45 AM, morning of 13th --- 10:45 is time originally attributed to Kato's "earthquake" noise -- experienced while on the telephone with his friend Rachel. |
| B | Discovered at 6:30 AM, morning of 13th --- Bloody right-hand glove situated in association with Kato's |
| C | Discovered at 7:20 AM, morning of 13th --- Bloody trail leading directly between Front door of house and Bronco. Vannatter discovers it leading to Bronco from house, Fuhrman & Roberts discover it leading from Bronco to house. |
| D | Discovered at 7:20 AM, morning of 13th --- North Rockingham Gate is unlocked and can be easily opened manually. |
| 9:00 AM, Marcia Clark --- authorizes every word of contained in the Search Warrant. This includes use of "unexpected" and exclusion of the fact Simpson has been contacted and is voluntarily returning on the first available flight. |
| E | Simpson Statement, 2:00 PM, June 13th --- LANGE: Do you recall bleeding at all in your truck, in the Bronco?
SIMPSON: I recall bleeding at my house, and then I went to the Bronco. The last thing I did before I left, when I was rushing, was went and got my phone out of the Bronco. |
| F | Revealed June 15th --- Inteview of Limousine Driver Allan Park reveals he saw Simpson enter front door of house at 10:55 PM on night of 12th; at that same time, Kato Kaelin was standing in driveway. |
| Clark --- immediately begins bypassing Detectives Lange & Vannatter; she contacts Serology directly, pestering them for results. She's making the serology people nervous. |
| G | Revealed June 21th --- Detective Payne files interview with Robert Heidstra, who establishes the Akita began to bark around 10:35, and the Killer is still at Bundy around 10:45 PM. |
| Clark --- wants to move ALL blood work out of LAPD. Page 201, "Early on, Lange and Vannatter see the pressure getting to Clark, who breaks down crying in front of the detectives." |
| H | Denise Pilnak confirms accuracy of Heidstra's initial 10:35 estimate. |
Marcia Clark fully understood the ramifications of the evidence which was unfolding -- even as she publicly proclaimed it was a mountain of evidence against Simpson. Given the facts, as they were known on the 21st of June 1994 -- do you see, and understand, what Dumb & Dumber still don't understand? Do you have the Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding to explain to them why the "evidence was dismissed"?
Do you see it?
Petrocelli was careful to exclude it.
Baker didn't know enough to emphasize it.
To fully explain the parallel between JOB and SIMPSON we will need access to Clark's alibi -- her "Beyond a Doubt" assertions. What she fails to mention, the spin she tries to impart to that she does mention, will reveal much.
