Johnny Cochran is dead?

[zero.counter]

Interesting bit of news. I t will headline shortly for any who care or are the least bit interested.

If a certain person posts, I guarantee this thread will :lockd: unfortunately...

[autobahNESSA]

How did you find out if it didn't headline yet? How old was he? His show was pretty funny.

[RJF]

Just broke on FoxNews

[sw20>>s14]

hmmm...what happened? whenever i think about him, all i can see is the lawyer from seinfeld.

[Chernobyl]

Death es sucky; "So it goes."

[Phlip]

They say death comes in threes, that chick in Florida is next, then who?

[MakotoS13]

hey look a man that made millions from gettin a murderer off the hook.

good riddance.

[Phlip]

Doug, I am disagreeing with you this time...
That man put the police beating the shit out of innocent people in their places, most often not collecting a DIME until the civil cases were settled, he took most pride in doing those things, and in fact went out of his way to not discuss his higher profile clients, recently refusing the cases that would have paid him big cash because he didn't wanna fuck with those people

That just might be Johnny Carson, and unfortunately he has also passed away. Search threads in OT if you are interested.

the judge or either her husband, more thank likely at the hands of a crazy activist.

[HyperTek]

thats crazy, he became a household name too...

[91CRXsiR]

that sucks that he will be remembered as the guy who got OJ off

[Phlip]

that sucks that he will be remembered as the guy who got OJ off
And that is a fact that has bugged the PISS out of me since 1997, when he represented Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt, who had spent the previous 27 years of his life in prison for murder, while the whole time all proved medical and DNA evidence had proven that he COULDN'T have committed the murder he was in for, while all courts simply ignored all appeals because he was an ex-black panther... The fact that a high-profile Johnnie Cochran would take that case to his grave as what he sees as his greatest personal acheivement, in a case that had to make him a fraction of what OJ payed him is why he will be missed. Everyone is really quick to say "he got a murderer off, fuck him" and completely neglect the shit that he actually has done... LAPD PUT OJ off, Johnnie Cochran just did the job put forth to him, proving that he was not "guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt," he created or explained that shadow.

This is an outrage!

[BSeay]

sucks that he is dead, damn i wanna be that good of a lawyer when im older....

[BoaConChicken]

"so if chewbacca was a wookie, the why'd he live on endor... this does not make sense. you must aquit." Johnny Cochran-south park

[OptionZero]

thats trippy! i just did a presentation not two weeks ago on a supreme court casing involving him...

[madwilly240]

hahaha i picture the seinfeld guy too.....

and the southpark thing

[kazuo]

So as to not bastardize the "Chewbacca Defense," I shall refer you all to wiki:

And, as far as Mr. Cochran is concerned, he helped a murderer stay out of jail. For once I agree with Makaki. Good riddance.

Same here!

[mjjstang]

actually the threes is happening after terry sheivo (sp?) Watching the news this morning was three headlines, cochran, sheivo, earthquake, and im like shit, in order to make any headlines someone has to die or something,

[orion::S14]

Agreed 100%.

No matter what or how much good he did (as per PHILIP's posts above)...OJ is certainly not innocent, and Cochran helped to set him free, just to make a buck.

He got a murderer off...so what! how many lawers are out there right now making dollars getting the guilty off the hook?

The lawers that orchistrate class action lawsuits are the true problem anyways they keep huge percentages of the settlements as "legal fees" and state that they have done the community a great justice...yeah raising a companies cost of operation which in turn gets passed on to the consumer anyways while you line your own pockets you really helped me out! thanks but no thanks you dick.

Back to cochran he was a great lawer and did a lot for not a lot of dough.

I am just pissed cuz i wont be able to hire him when i kill my GF ;)

I agree a million percent (except for killing your girlfriend, OJ was the last criminal trial he did)
