In 2006, he published A Simple Act of Murder: November 22, 1963 (ISBN 0060721545), about the John F. Kennedy assassination. In it, Fuhrman advanced a theory challenging the single-bullet theory while still maintaining that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. He claimed that the Warren Commission was forced to ratify the single-bullet theory for political reasons. However, he said that a dent in the chrome above the windshield of the presidential limousine used that day vindicated the story told by John Connally that the first shot that hit President John F. Kennedy did not also hit him.

In 1970, aged 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he was trained as a machine gunner and military policeman.

Having attained the rank of sergeant, he was honorably discharged in 1975. After leaving the military, Fuhrman entered the Los Angeles Police Academy and graduated in 1975.

In an article by Jeffrey Toobin in the July 25 issue of The New Yorker, the defense revealed that they planned to play “the race card”. Specifically, Simpson’s defense team alleged that Fuhrman planted the glove found at Simpson’s estate as part of a racially motivated effort to frame Simpson for the murders. The article detailed Fuhrman’s prior use of racist language and claims of violence made during his 1981–1982 psychiatric interviews. Although Fuhrman’s psychiatric reports were later ruled inadmissible in the case because they were determined to be too old to have direct relevance, the New Yorker article was published before jury selection was finalized or jury sequestration had taken place. Potential jurors were asked how much exposure to the Simpson case they received from The New Yorker (among other media outlets) as part of the jury selection process. They were also asked their opinions of Fuhrman and other witnesses who had testified at the preliminary hearing.

In 1981, Fuhrman requested leave for workers’ compensation. During a psychiatric interview regarding this claim, Fuhrman expressed racist sentiments, stating that he stopped enjoying military service because of alleged insubordination from Mexican-Americans and African-Americans, whom he described as “niggers”. Fuhrman received workers’ compensation and remained on paid leave until 1983.

During this time, Fuhrman attempted to leave the police force permanently and receive a stress disability pension. In a 1982 psychiatric interview, he claimed that he had “tortur[ed] suspects and con[ned] internal affairs detectives”, that he would choke suspects and break their arms and legs “if necessary”, and that he had pounded suspects’ faces to “mush”. Fuhrman claimed that he was afraid he would kill someone if he were returned to street patrol. Although several psychiatrists recommended that he be removed from duty completely, and others recommended that he not be allowed to carry a gun, the City of Los Angeles argued that Fuhrman’s statements were merely part of an elaborate ruse to win a pension. In 1983, Fuhrman lost his case, and a subsequent appeal to Superior Court was rejected; therefore, Fuhrman returned to active duty as a police officer.

After McKinny, witness Kathleen Bell testified. She had met Fuhrman at a Marine recruiting station in 1985 or 1986, where she claimed that he expressed animus against interracial couples and said, “If I had my way, all the niggers would be gathered together and burned.” Then, witness Natalie Singer, whose roommate had dated Fuhrman around 1987, testified that Fuhrman had told her, “The only good nigger is a dead nigger.” On the television show Leeza, Singer later said that Fuhrman had also said, “Yeah, we work with niggers and gangs. You can take one of these niggers, drag ’em into the alley and beat the shit out of them and kick them. You can see them twitch. It really relieves your tension.” However, Ito restricted her from giving her complete statement during the trial. Roderic Hodge then testified that while he was in police custody in 1987, Fuhrman had said to him, “I told you we would get you, nigger.”

During his closing argument, defense attorney Johnnie Cochran called Fuhrman “a lying, perjuring, genocidal racist”, likening him to Adolf Hitler. He argued that Fuhrman had planted the bloody glove on Simpson’s estate as part of a racially motivated plot against Simpson, which could be traced back to Fuhrman’s first encounter with the interracial couple in 1985. Although there was no evidence to suggest that Fuhrman had planted the glove, his perjury about his use of the word “nigger” was widely seen as severely damaging the prosecution’s credibility in front of the mostly black jury (especially in the wake of the Rodney King trial) and has been cited as one of the main reasons Simpson was acquitted.
