The Justice Department has reportedly decided not to prosecute former
Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman on charges he assaulted and
mistreated minority suspects in his custody.
The Los Angeles Times quotes sources at the Justice Department as
saying the decision is based on a statute of limitations -- a five-year
time limit that has long since expired.
The allegations stemmed from 14 taped interviews in which Fuhrman
told an aspiring screenwriter that there was systematic misconduct in
the police department and described some of his alleged misconduct.
The testimony was a key part of the sensational O.J. Simpson murder
trial, where Fuhrman lied on the stand about using a racial epithet to
refer to black people.
The newspaper says the Justice Department will make public its ruling
on Mark Fuhrman, possibly today.
