Johnnie Cochran Dead?

[wendybeth]

MBC, I get what you're saying- I really do- but the fact remains that he got a guilty man off -and hurt a lot of people in the process- using dubious tactics. I agree that the prosecution pretty much sucked in this case, but the defense doesn't get a pass just because Cochran was intent on saving OJ's ass. He played the race card, accused the LAPD of some pretty horrible things, said that Goldman was only after OJ's money and that he was never close to his son (implying that he was milking the trial for money and fame) and also worked very hard to connect Nicole and Ron to drug dealings, which he was unable to prove. He was the legal world's Al Sharpton.
