Famed attorney to the stars, Johnnie Cochran, has died at 67 (click name for various news resources). He was renowned for defending OJ Simpson in his sensational double-murder trial; and, of more recent relevance, Michael Jackson for his prior indictment of child molestation. As unpopular as litigators can oft-times be, Cochran frequently parlayed his high-ticket clients into pro bono work and other forms of civic action.
Feel free to comment on any aspect of his life and work, or death--if you consider a lawyer with a brain tumor poetic justice. --------------------  Yesterday...when I was mad. |
