O.J. Simpson Prosecutor Marcia Clark Writes a Mystery Novel

By David in TN

A few weeks ago, former O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark had a “mystery novel” published titled Guilt by Association. Care to guess the plot?

The daughter of a wealthy Pacific Palisades physician is raped in her bedroom. The initial suspect is a small-time Mexican gangbanger. The girl met him through a “diversity outreach.”

The rest of the plot involves a male colleague of Knight’s being found dead in a motel with a 17-year old male hustler in an apparent murder-suicide.

The protaganist named Rachel Knight is based on Clark, herself. Big surprise. There is no courtroom action. The story has Knight and her female cop friend roaming L.A.’s mean streets.

As it turns out, the “real rapist” is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood who tries to frame the Mexican gang. The AB rapist met the girl’s family through a pedophile ring run by the girl's father. It ties in with the murder of the heroine’s fellow prosecutor. The book is loaded with brave and highly competent female detectives, prosecutors, and criminalists. The white men in the novel are weak, incompetent, or criminals. The book ends with the Pacific Palisades doctor going on trial for killing the AB gangster with Knight as the prosecutor. The doctor killed his Aryan Brotherhood business partner after discovering he was the one who raped his daughter.

The book started off around #400 on Amazon, but is now over #330,000 and sinking.

[Correction by David in TN, 5/9: My aging eyes made a mistake about the Amazon sales number. The book did start off at #400, but this morning it was around #3800. At noon, it was over #4300, so it is indeed sinking. Not that good for a "name" author," one would think. I apologize for the mistake.]

It is worth comparing the novel to Marcia Clark’s real-life trials. Before Simpson, her best known was the trial of actress Rebecca Schaeffer’s killer, Robert Bardo (who didn't make it as a Great White Defendant, being a part-Asian psycho) in 1991. The last before Simpson was the Mount Olive Church double murder, in which both black defendants received a death sentence.

Another was a drug-connected double murder no-body case solved by DNA through one drop of blood. I believe the perps and victims in this one were black, but not certain because I can’t find the details.

Clark prosecuted a serial killer who preyed on elderly Asian women. I saw Clark refer to this trial in 2004 on Catherine Crier's Court TV show, but as she gave no names or details, I have been unable to find any information on this trial.

During the 1980’s, Clark was second chair to Harvey Giss, one of the top L.A. prosecutors. She assisted in the trial of James Hawkins, a supposed black vigilante standing up to the gangs, actually a criminal himself. Another trial with Giss was the “Sweethearts’ Murder,” which had an eerie similarity to the Knoxville Horror.

Clark said in a TV interview that her next novel will be in the courtroom. Do you think she will base it on the Michelle Boyd and Brian Harris car-jacking and double murder? She might sell more books if she did.


NS: I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear that Clark’s book is tanking! She went the PC/BS route and it bit her in the butt.

In his new book, White Identity, Jared Taylor reports that the Aryan Brotherhood is “strictly a prison gang.” If that’s right, then Clark is following ridiculous TV plots from several years ago from shows that also failed. And of course, she knows better than that.

“Clark said in a TV interview that her next novel will be in the courtroom. Do you think she will base it on the Michelle Boyd and Brian Harris car-jacking and double murder? She might sell more books if she did.”

Of course she would, but she won’t. Too chicken. With any luck, her bomb of a current book will cost her a deal for the next bomb. Then again, publishing houses are run by feminist harpies and gays, so she has a pretty good shot, no matter how badly the current book sells. But the only way she would do the Sweethearts’ Murder is if she pulled a Law & Order, and switched the races.

(By the way, I just looked through the archives you sent me—thanks—and the “Sweethearts’ Murder” case indeed closely resembles the Knoxville Horror. Although no one was charged with rape, I find it hard to believe they didn’t do anything sexual to the girl. And the cops and prosecutors sound just as ridiculous, as in KH: How do you get from a motive of simply wanting a car, to kidnapping a couple, driving them to the mountains, and murdering them? And that “motive” wouldn’t have passed the smell test, even if they hadn’t then torched the car!)

[David in TN: In the “Sweethearts’ Murder” case, they were not tortured and the girl doesn’t seem to have been raped.]

In Vince Bugliosi’s O.J. Simpson book, Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away with Murder, he blamed prosecutorial incompetence for the acquittal, particularly Clark’s vanity. It seems that DA Gil Garcetti’s trial consultants found that black women responded to Clark with undisguised hostility, but Clark insisted that black women loved her, and refused to cede her chair to a man or a black woman. However, Bugliosi wimped out on facing the truth, which is that Garcetti threw the case when he moved the trial downtown. The Knoxville Horror’s Takisha the Tigress Fitzgerald could have tried that case, and those racist black jurors still would have acquitted the Butcher of Brentwood on all counts.
