121. So, you have to resort to a conspiracy theory to explain the blood evidence?

Too many people would have had to be complicit. And for what purpose? It just doesn't make sense for a group to jeopardize their careers to frame a high profile defendant. They would have known the case would be fully scrutinized and that Simpson would have the best legal team money could buy. You might make the case one rogue cop would do it, but not more than one.

It has tin foil hat written all over it.
