Nice try..... but I think it's for the judge to decide whether the line of questioning is "pertinent" not the witness. If the questions about his sexual involvements were deemed irrelevant to the sexual harassment case, the question would have been struck. There is absolutely no difference between the so called perjury traps that "ensnared" both Clinton and Fuhrman. Both took the risk of perjuring themselves and did so without recognizing there might be incontrovertible physical evidence. Moral is.....you avoid the "trap" by answering truthfully. bp

<<<No, because some feel that "N word" question was pertinent to the OJ case. A perjury trap against Mark Fuhrman would have been more like tying the use of marijuana with the DNA evidence botch, asking Mark Fuhrman if he had ever tried marijuana in his life, then based on his desire to deflect the OJ defense from that line of thinking (or just to protect his job at the PD) he says no, he has never tried marijuana. The defense then calls Fuhrmans high school girlfriend to testify that Fuhrman did in fact try marijuana once, Fuhrman gets fired from the LAPD for lying on his job application, and the public becomes enamoured with this Fuhrman fiasco and the OJ prosecution is damaged severely because of it.>>> Gee , seems to be that Fuhrman's use of the "N" word would not indicate a racist just someone who made a "critical lapse in judgement on his part".
