Fox News will provide live coverage of O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing Thursday featuring as an analyst the former Los Angeles police detective famous for lying during Simpson’s trial about his repeated use of racist language.

Fox News told numerous media outlets, including USA Today and Hollywood Reporter, that Mark Fuhrman, who was a chief witness against Simpson and later pleaded no contest to committing perjury during the trial, will be on hand to provide commentary on the parole proceedings.

Simpson has served nine years of a nine-to-33 year sentence for his armed confrontation with and subsequent robbery of memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2007. He was arrested and later found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and conspiracy charges.

Fuhrman was one of the first officers to investigate the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, Simpson’s ex-wife, and Ron Goldman, for which Simpson was arrested and charged.

Part of Simpson’s defense team’s strategy, as outlined by Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker, was to make the case racially charged, especially given that the victims were white and Simpson is black.

At the time, Los Angeles was still reeling from a 1991 video showing city police beating black taxi driver Rodney King, an incident which led to the 1992 L.A. riots. Toobin wrote the defense would bring up the issue of race, “even if it means that helping O.J. Simpson threatens the tender peace of the city of Los Angeles.”

One aspect of the strategy was to highlight Fuhrman’s past usage of the n-word, even though Fuhrman swore under oath that he hadn’t used the racial slur in the past 10 years.

The defense brought several witnesses refuting Fuhrman’s denial. The smoking gun came in a recorded conversation between Fuhrman and screenwriter Laura Hart McKinny in which he used the n-word more than 40 times. Beginning in 1985, McKinny taped interviews with Fuhrman and other Los Angeles police officers while researching a screenplay.

He was indicted on perjury charges, to which he pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years’ probation.

“It is important to understand that, as a result of these charges, this plea and this sentence, Mark Fuhrman is now a felon and will forever be branded a liar,” California Attorney General Dan Lungren said at the time. “By pleading to a felony, Mr. Fuhrman will never be a police officer in the state of California again. He is also now the ultimate impeachable witness — a convicted perjurer.”

Simpson was acquitted of the double-homicide. In 1997, however, a civil jury found Simpson liable for the deaths and he was ordered to pay survivors $33.5 million.

Despite his legal troubles — or, more accurately, because of them — Fuhrman translated his heightened profile into financial gain. After retiring to Idaho in 1995, the same year the Simpson trial ended, he wrote a best-selling tell-all about his investigation and the subsequent trial titled “Murder in Brentwood.” It was published in 1997.

The book’s inside flap reads, “For O.J. Simpson to get away with murder, an innocent cop — a brilliant detective — had to be destroyed. That was the cynical strategy of the Simpson ‘Dream Team,’ and it worked. … Mark Fuhrman’s own hand-drawn maps of the crime scene and his reconstruction of the murders leave no doubt about what really happened on June 12, 1994.”

He also transformed that fame into a contributing position with Fox News as its “forensic and crime scene expert.” His biography on the site states he “rose to fame as a key investigator and was a witness in the O.J. Simpson trial” and mentions his “more than 55 official commendations during his 20 years with the LAPD.”

It does not mention his perjury charge.

During his time with the network, he has defended other police officers in prominent, racially charged shootings. Following the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling by police in 2016, which sparked nationwide protests, Fuhrman said on Fox News that Sterling “has to take responsibility that he did have a gun, and he conducted himself in some manner to draw attention to a citizen who called the police.”

Fox News is making no secret of its views on Simpson’s parole. Consider a piece by prominent Fox anchor Gregg Jarrett titled, “O.J. Simpson, up for parole, should never be set free.” It begins, “O.J. Simpson, one of the most heinous and depraved killers in modern American history, is up for parole consideration.”

Simpson has never been convicted of killing anyone.

The piece also calls Simpson “a ticking time bomb” and states when “he gets angry, he resorts to violence and lawlessness.” When mentioning Simpson’s acquittal on murder charges, Jarrett puts quotations marks around the phrase “not guilty.”

The much-ridiculed augmented-reality goggles from Google, once known as Google Glass, are back after two years of relative silence.

On Tuesday, Google’s parent company Alphabet reintroduced the device to the world, and said it is now called simply “Glass” and is under its experimental “X” department.

[Google will stop selling Glass to the general public. But Google says the device is not dead yet.]

Google stopped a retail test of Google Glass in 2015, effectively ending its early ambitions to make it a consumer device. Google Glass faced major criticisms, including concerns about the device’s camera making it easy to encroach on others’ privacy, as well as the simple fact that the glasses looked unfashionable. The device’s high price tag — $1,500 for the retail edition — was also a major impediment.

But even then, analysts said that the device had potential for use in businesses as a tool for training, or to make information more accessible away from one’s desk. Promising trials in hospitals and with emergency-response teams drew the most lasting excitement from potential customers — far more than, for example, the headset’s turn on the catwalk at Fashion Week.

Now Glass seems to be embracing those less glamorous but arguably more practical uses.

The Glass team highlighted several companies in its blog post reintroducing the product to the world: the agricultural manufacturing company AGCO, shipping giant DHL and California health system Dignity Health.

Alphabet highlighted how Glass had made factory workers at AGCO more efficient. “By reducing the amount of back-and-forth workers have to do accessing checklists, viewing instruction manuals or sending photos from tablets or laptops as they assemble machines, Glass has reduced machinery production time by 25 percent and inspection times by 30 percent,” wrote Jay Kothari, Glass’s project lead.

There are still some lingering questions about how well Glass’s makeover will work. Alphabet has not offered any details on the headset’s price, for example; the company said in an email to The Post that prices will vary depending on how customers want to use the devices. And, even with improvements to the device’s battery life, processing capability and comfort, it’s certainly no guarantee that many companies are going to find a way to work the device into their own offices.

This more-focused Glass strategy also hits at a time when many Google competitors, such as Microsoft and Apple, have jumped into the world of augmented reality, which many believe is a major growth area for technology. Virtual and augmented-reality devices are expected to generate $162 billion in revenue by 2020, according to the market research firm International Data Corporation.
