Film & TV Johnnie Cochran Dead

[Hi Hater]

LOS ANGELES -- Attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., best known for heading the defense team that defended O.J. Simpson against double murder charges, died Tuesday at age 67, NBC4 reported.

"He had had a brain tumor and he had gone through a long process of dealing with it," attorney Rikki Klieman, a former Court TV anchor and wife of Los Angeles police Chief William Bratton told MSNBC.

"His life is a life that should be celebrated for all the good he did for so many," said Klieman, a legal analyst for NBC's "Today" show and the Courtroom Television Network.

Last May, Cochran's law firm announced that he had been released from the hospital after being treated for an undisclosed neurological condition.

Cochran successfully defended Simpson against charges that he murdered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman.

Oh well. Can't say it has a profound effect on me or my life, though. HAHA! I'm uber selfish.

"It's his job" is not enough of an excuse for me. Was it just Mark Gerago's job to try to get Scott Peterson off? Is the lawyer for the man who admitted to killing that little girl in Florida just doing his job by trying to get the man a plea deal?

I guess to be a defense lawyer, you have to check your conscience at the door, that's something I could never do.




















OJ did it.
