Evidence Dismissed, The Inside Story of the Police Investigation of O.J. Simpson is one of those as-told-to books, the tellers being Detective Tom Lange and Detective Philip Vannatter, who led the investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Here, free from the constraints of courtroom procedure, cross-examination, and public relations spin, they present their side of the story, including much evidence that never saw its day in court.

Detectives Lange and Vannatter took a lot of flak during the first Simpson trial and in the barrage of books that followed. In Evidence Dismissed they have their revenge by pointing out errors in the prosecution's case and getting in a few digs at the defense attorneys. As told to Dan E. Moldea, a veteran crime reporter, this latest insider story sheds some new light on the behind-the-scenes activity surrounding the most recent "Trial of the Century." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

Here the truly dedicated can inspect the transcript of the detectives' interview with Mr. Simpson the day after the murders and of Detective Lange's conversation with him during the Bronco chase. More interesting, though, are the interviews, full of odd, stray remarks . . . -- The New York Times Book Review, Laura Mansnerus --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to stomach., August 7, 2000

By	Becky (Ellalong, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews

This book isn't hard to stomach because of bad writing style or anything in that vein. It is hard to stomach because it describes, in detail, all the extremely incriminating evidence WHICH POINTED TO NO ONE BUT SIMPSON that was found by the detectives in this case and the Los Angeles Police Department which, inexplicably, was not raised by the prosecutors EVEN ONCE during the trial. This book proves Simpson's guilt beyond ALL doubt, showing that had ALL this evidence been displayed before the jury in the criminal joke (it's an insult to courtrooms and the hallways of justice throughout this world to call it a trial) then Simpson would have undoubtedly been convicted. But most of all, "Evidence Dismissed," like Vincent Bugliosi's "Outrage" proves once and for all that the TRUE blame for the loss of this case can be laid at the feet of the prosecution.

4.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all., January 30, 1999

By A Customer

A believable step by step account of what really happened during the Simpson investigation and trial including what went on behind the scenes. Agonizing to read if you believe O.J. did it because of all the incriminating evidence Marcia Clark incredibly chose not to use. After reading this I'm more convinced than ever, the first jury blew it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, March 7, 2002

By	Rhonda C. Elsaesser "jerseygirlinkentucky" (Fort Knox, KY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What an outrage....if this case intrigued you, then I suggest you read this book and read the "evidence dismissed". Well written, and fast paced, I couldn't put the book down. It really puts a cast of doubt on the justice system. And to know this man is still out there walking around free, while two people are not, is unbelievable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves true crime!
