POSTED: 3:18 pm PST March 29, 2005
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, MSNBC 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.
