OJ's REAL secrets are now forever quiet.

May God have mercy on his soul for helping to release an out and out MURDERER. He doesn't have much of a legacy even if he did other good works.

"Those that call themselves Christian and delight in an innocent man's death are no better than the Muslims who celebrated when our towers fell."

I don't delight in his death, but I also don't consider him an innocent man.

You'll find a lot of that on this board and from people that say they are christians. If they truly are, they would know their wishing him to hell and talking about his demise as a good thing is not christian at all. No one knows what his final relationship with God was nor should they guess. And, he did not relieve OJ from anything. God is the final judge of OJ not man.

The prosecutors were completely incompetent, but biggest mistake in the trial was made by Gil Garcetti(sp?.) OJ was entitled to a jury of his peers and he had much more in common with his Brentwood neighbors than the downtown jury.

Well said. There are a lot of presumptuous judges on this thread.

Exactly. God's judgement trumps mortal man's judgement. As to your comment, " No one knows what his final relationship with God was nor should they guess....", I saw a report this morning on the local FOX broadcast station that said Cochran was devoted to his community and the church within the community.

Disagree. OJ will have to answer to God in the future.

Rest in perfect peace now, Mr. Cochran. A terrible way to go.

Well I am sorry your so filled with hate for an individual, whom you have never met, who biggest offense seems to being having performed his job well, that you would cheer his death.

Please quote where I cheered his death.

Cheering anyone's death, accept perhaps a murderer, child molestor, or terrorist is pretty sick. If you can see that I am wasting bandwidth responding.

Why do you conditionally exempt murderers, child molesters and terrorists?

So you believe it is alright to cheer the death of some, were just haggling over who.

Better be shaking head up and down in agreement.

Listening to people calling in to radio shows, they HATE Cochran.

As Shapiro (sp) said, "Cochran not only played the race card, he played it from the bottom of the deck".

I can't think of a more damaging human being on society that wasn't arrested for it.
Johnny tended to represent any notorious criminal who was caught on tape with police, always pulling the race card.

IMO, Johnnie Cochran single handedly us responsible for bringing race relations back in this country some 25 years.

I think after blacks were interviewed in their joy over the OJ innocent verdict, the employers in the community probably looked to do a lot less minority hiring, especially with all the racism towards whites from minorities that were being seen in interviews on TV.

Really screwed up life for mostly blacks IMO.

Johnnie Cochran and his multiple race card uses is probably having a real HOT time this very moment.

Dr. Lee admitted that his reputation was severely damaged by his performance at the OJ trial. IMO, he never got his reputation back. To me he's nothing more than a high priced prostitute.

Well, we all have our opinions. Dr. Lee testified to what he found as the truth. I doubt he regrets having told the truth. He is a man of character and integrity--more than I can say for many people.

Your opinion does not change the fact that Dr. Lee stated his regrets with getting involved with the case.

And how would Cochrane have the blood of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on his hands unless he killed them and then defended OJ (which would put an intersting but sick spin on how many people here hate him and are gleeful over his death based on his work in getting OJ acquitted.) Criminal defense lawyers are easy to hate until you need one. It doesn't mean that anything should go for a criminal defense lawyer, but they are a part of the system and do have a legitimate purpose.

We (humans) seem to forget the ultimate Judge. If we truly believe, no man can escape without their plea for forgiveness.
We have two laws:
Man's law(lower dominion)
God's law (eternal dominion).
So, we have no need to worry about any individual that in our eyes received "more than they deserved".

Do you know this as a fact or is this an opinion?
