Yes, it's a job. You are entitled to be defended in this country. You would want the best lawyer to defend you if you were sued or bought into criminal court. He is good at what he does. I think OJ murdered them, but that certainly doesn't fall on John's shoulders. Why don't you blame the jury of his peers that elected to set him free? Or the bungled prosecution? You are spewing against Johnnie Cochran for some reason that would interesting if you actually were able to verbalize it. You don't know Johnnie. It obvious.

Shame on you for assuming I don't know more about the guy than you. He knowingly helped spring a murderer and that's enough to earn a good dissing.

Rappers here in NY will have to stop getting into trouble as who else is good enough to get you off murder. All is all.. Jonnie Cochran did some bad things and a lot of good things. It's unfair to bash this guy over OJ when you really don't know what he did, or what he came out of pocket. I don't expect you to do the journalist thing and research who the man is, but this knee jerk dissing of the guy without at least googling him is disheartening. Shame on you.

Insensitive, definitely. But racist? Didn't he help spring a murderer?

Guess I didn't think people thought about Johnnie Cochran enough to dislike him this much. Huh. Like many others in the 90's, JC benefitted enourmously from whom fate handed him in opponents. Love him or hate him, he *was* damned entertaining.

Wow, not much love around here for Johnnie Cochran! Well, another New York thing to mention is that he was also counsel for Abner Louima after he was sodomized by the NYPD.

I hope that wing is large enough to accommodate Al Sharpton and OJ.

Today he's opening a special new wing of hell that's being dedicated to him.
