You can give them all the credence you want, but in the absence of any contrary evidence (nobody said the opposite), they should be given
some credence. None of the plane witnesses had a reason to lie. None of them were likely to have confused the dates, since they don't meet OJ Simpson every day.
What's more likely, Fuhrman and Vannatter doing what Fuhrman essentially confessed they had done before? (And what we later learned from Rafael Perez, the LAPD did
consistently.) Or random passengers on a plane who had never met OJ deciding to risk prison time by lying under oath? I know which I find more likely.
To quote Damon Runyon:
The race is not always to the swift, nor battle to the strong
But that's the way to bet
Bet on Fuhrman being Fuhrman. Trust me.
