"...audio tapes of Fuhrman repeatedly using the word – 41 times, in total. The tape had been made in 1986 by a young North Carolina screenwriter named Laura McKinny. She had interviewed Fuhrman for a screenplay she was developing on police officers."

Mark Fuhrman was asked to help develope the character of a racist cop from North Carolina. The tape never had anything to do with the real personality of Mark Fuhrman, the LA cop. Demonizing him for that tape is a bit like sending an actor to prison for playing the part of Al Capone.
