Freepers are not supposed to be ***holes.

But I guess that's all in the past, now?

No kidding? I actually thought he was younger than that. Still, now I realize why we hadn't heard anything from him in awhile.

I guess now he can ask Ron and Nicole who really did it and how they liked the trial.

I feel sad for the family he left behind.

I had business dealings with him a couple of years ago. I didn't care for him, but he was a real personable guy.

All I've been able to find online is a notation of a mystery illness, neurological in nature, not cancer.

He came across that way on TV, so I guess it's no surprise he would be as well in real life. I am sure it served him well.

It's hard to know what to say, since I didn't care for a lot of his shenanigans in courtrooms, and that's all I know of the man. I am certain there was more to him than that, though.

Just being sarcastic.

I had no idea he was ill.

I heard that he is going to appeal the case and play the race card!

"Long before he defended OJ Simpson on murder charges, Johnnie Cochran prosecuted Lenny Bruce for alleged obscenity."

I never knew that....
