J. Simpson caseand why he got off Mark Fuhrman puts you in the shoes of professional criminal investigators, walks you through crime scenes with the penetrating eye of a trained detective, and shows you the unconscious irresponsibility and greed of the media who inadvertently capitalize on suffering and hinder justice in their pursuit of ratings.The Murder Businessis a shocking tale of crime, and the media's interference with criminal investigators, that will forever change the way you look at crime reporting.
