    Default Jonny Cocraine dead of a brain tumor

    Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran dead at 67
    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., who became a legal superstar after helping clear O.J. Simpson during a sensational murder trial in which he uttered the famous quote "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," died Tuesday. He was 67.

    Famed attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. died Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 67.
    By Michael Stravato, AP

    Cochran died of a brain tumor at his home in Los Angeles, his family said.

    "Certainly, Johnnie's career will be noted as one marked by 'celebrity' cases and clientele," his family said in a statement. "But he and his family were most proud of the work he did on behalf of those in the community."

    I actually met him when he spoke at my college....he was a cool guy, and a lot shorter than I expected.

    Damn......

    I didn't even know he was ill.

    Now who the hell is going to get me acquitted if I ever decide to go on a murderous rampage and leave a trail of evidence back to my house?

    Don't get me started on Johnnie Cochran. As far as I'm concerned, he sold his soul to Satan the minute he took OJ's case.

    OJ was guilty as **** and he shoulda been put to death for his heinous crime.

    Well, the guy was a damn good lawyer. Reminds me of a quote from a past Pope about Cardinal Richelieu.

    I have no idea who he is, but I guess his death is pretty irrelevant. OJ was as guilty as a mother f**ker.

    Regardless of how much I despise the obvious guilt of OJ Simpson, his melodramatic defense by Cochran was outstanding.

    Everyone is entitled to an able defense..even the blatantly guilty.

    My issue is, and always has been(more so now with the Robert Blake acquittal ) justice at a price.

    Guilty go free because they "bought" justice by using their considerable financial resources to buy an overwhelming "shock and awe" defense.

    Innocent(some) are imprisoned because they're broke and get stuck with overworked and under-resourced legal aid.

    Hopefully I'm proven wrong when Michael Jackson does a 10-20 year moonwalk in Chino.
