'We got this call and I didn't know whose house it was. I had never been on a call there but there had been 10, 11, 12 officers that had been on various calls over the years,' said Fuhrman.

'Simpson is standing on the left side of the driveway by the shrubs holding a baseball bat.

'Nicole is sitting on the front part of a 450SL Mercedes, windshield smashed in and she's balling. Heaving. I mean, almost uncontrollably.'

That is when Fuhrman said he began to take more notice of OJ. 

'He's got this look on his face like he's going to do battle and I say: "Put the bat down." 

'And he's got this look, this rage look, and I say: "Put. The. Bat. Down."

He didn't do it the second time. I took out my baton and I said: "Put it down now." 

'And then, all of the sudden, there was this calm on his face and he said: "Oh my god, I'm sorry officer."'

That is when Fuhrman decided to check on Nicole and see how the battered young woman was doing given the situation. 

'I went over and she was still crying and I said: "Do you want to make a report?"

'And she goes: "No"'

That is when Fuhrman shared some chilling words he has never revealed before in the 30 years since the incident occurred in Brentwood.  

'I remember saying this because it was, I think, expressing my displeasure that she was allowing herself to be treated like this. 

'I said: "It's your life."'

Fuhrman would again be first on the scene at Rockingham in 1994, right after the murder of Nicole.

'They called me over and said "you were at Simpson's house once, right? We want you to take us up there,"' recalled Fuhrman of the June night her body as discovered outside her home.

They pulled up to the gate and after repeatedly ringing the bell got no answer. Fuhrman said he decided to take a walk down the street and noticed something when he got down the block.

'By the other gate, there's a white Ford Bronco, and on the door handle there's blood,' said Fuhrman.

'I mean, there was enough evidence outside, we got to make sure everyone's OK in here. We need to go in, so I jump up over the fence and I open the gate.' 

There was no answer at Simpson's house so they went to the bungalows and came across Kato Kaelin, who said Simpson had left for Chicago.

He also told Fuhrman there had been an earthquake earlier and he could feel the walls behind his bungalow pounding, so Fuhrman went and took a look behind the tiny abode.

And found a right glove matching the left glove they had just seen at the murder scene.

'At first I thought it was dog crap,' said Fuhrman. 'And then I shone the light on it. It's a glove.'

Fuhrman would later be accused of planting the glove during the trial as there were no witnesses present when he discovered the item.
