Johnnie Cochran Dead?

Betty · 03-30-2005, 06:12 AM

I was listening to KFI yesterday and on the John and Ken show (one of them was actually on vacation but who knows which one) they had called Ron Goldman's Dad asking for comment. According to them he said no comment and then went on to say something about him being happy about it!... but not as an official comment or something to that effect.

Sad thing to say about someone but had it been my child that was murdered, I guess I might feel the same way about the attorney that got him out of it.

I think that if I were the Goldmans, I would be far more upset at the inept prosecutors in that case. But that's probably a whole 'nother thread.

I do find it sort of sad that he will always be remembered for the OJ trial. I watched Larry King last night and it seemed that so many people had a great deal of respect and praise for this man, not only for his abilities as a lawyer, but for the type of person he was. The consensus was that he was a man that cared a great deal about people and did a lot of good for his community. He wasn't just a celebrity attorney, it was just that celebrities want the best and he was considered one of the best. He did far more work for the civil rights of those who probably never could have afforded him.

I finally see this morning that they are reporting he had an inoperable brain tumor for years.
I feel for the man. What a rotten way to go.

Not to be callous or anything, but don't people usually only have nice things to say about someone once they die? I don't know much about Johnnie Cochran, so those things might very well be true. It just seems that dying automatically puts someone on the "good people" list.
