OJ Speaks on of Cochran

quote:
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran, 67, perhaps best known for his defense of O.J. Simpson, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles.

"I loved him as a good Christian man; I look at Johnny as a great Christian," Simpson told CNN. "I knew him as that. He was a great guy."

Simpson said he last saw Cochran at an L.A. Lakers basketball game a few months ago and found the flamboyant lawyer to be in good spirits. "We were praying for him then, and I still am," Simpson said.

Simpson added that he knew Cochran long before he hired the African-American lawyer to lead his 'Dream Team' defense. "I was in social circles with Johnnie and we knew each other in that way," he said.

There isn't a hell so I don't think anyone is going to it. Still, NPR had a recent article upon Jonny Cochran and the guy was an ******* & an opportunist but not a hatefilled little bigot like Jerry Falwell.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

TV "legend" Todd Bridges once went on a four-day cocaine bender where he shot his dealer until the chamber was empty, reloaded the gun, and popped him some more. For good measure, Bridges also stabbed him, and left him to die in a crack house.

Cochran got him off.

In short: OJ was no fluke, and he probably picked the one attorney in America who could get him off.

what a great attorney

Laugh at him all you want, but he knew what he was doing and he helped many people beyond OJ.

On the contrary, it was a total fluke. A slightly better prosecution team would have nailed Simpson's arse.

Put an end to popups!

In memorium, my favorite attorney joke:

Three guys are waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. St Peter says to the first one: "What did you do in life?"

"Are you kidding?? I was the Pope!"

"Oh certainly, Your Holiness. I didn't recognize you at first. Come right this way, we have your room ready." And St. Peter takes him to a little one-room apartment with cheap posters thumbtacked to the wall, plastic flowers in a chipped vase, a hot plate to cook with.

"This will be fine," says the Pope.

St. Peter says to the second. "What did you do in life?"

"I was a lawyer," he replies.

"Oh certainly. Come right this way counsel, we have your room ready." And St. Peter takes him to a magnificient mansion, with swimming pools, tennis courts, riding stables, priceless works of art on the walls.

"This will be fine," says the lawyer.

The third man says to St. Peter, "What's going on?? The Pope gets a run-down one-room apartment and a lawyer gets a wonderful mansion??"

"It's supply and demand," says St. Peter. "We have all kinds of popes running around here, but that's only the second lawyer to have ever made it."

Yeah, well, Chewbacca is a Wooky from the planet Kishic, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it. That does not make sense.
