I wish you a successful and long life and when you and I are both dust I hope to join you in Heaven and we will rejoice together with the Angels.
MSM is slow on the announcement. This was in the tabloids a couple of days day.
He had brain disorder? Did his next of kin then ordered removal of his feeding or NG tube since he would die anyway?
"I loved it when he was spoofed on Seinfeld..."
That guy was so great! Then he was really good playing a black CONSERVATIVE reporter on "Wanda at Large", one of the better, and less PC, of recent comedies.
Sad about Johnny Cochran, I would have hired him to defend me in a NY minute after he got OJ off.
I have an idea. Let's all give a bunch of phoney baloney words of sorrow.
Oh c'mon, can't we read about johnny without that other stuff coming up. It is getting tiresome.
Neither am I. Two down, Kardashian and Cochran. Hell is getting crowded.
What Superstar status did he have?
Why? Just because he beat the two MOST incompetent lawyers in the history of mankind? Marcia Clark and Chris Darden should never be practicing law again.
They say "speak not ill of the dead", but if that was the case we'd all say nice things about Hitler. The only difference is that Hitler was a 'BIG COCKROACH', and people like Johnny Cochran are 'little cockroaches'.
An adulterer; a shyster who swindled some of his clients; and a man who played the race card to get a brutal double murderer free to spend the rest of his life enjoying his pursuits of fun and pleasure. A lawyer who knew his client was guilty, but wanted him free anyways. He got a tumor in the same brain he used to do it all. I don't wish that on anybody, but compared to Ron and Nichole, Johnny got out of this world easy. May he rest in peace?? Naw, may he meet Ron and Nichole instead to explain his twisted views of 'justice'.
The media must have known he was sick since they were able to come up with such an extensive bio this quickly.
That guy was so great! Then he was really good playing a black CONSERVATIVE reporter on "Wanda at Large", one of the better, and less PC, of recent comedies.
Phil Morris (son of "Mission Impossible's" Greg Morris). Good character actor. I keep seeing him show up here and there...
If the tumor in yo head, yo soon be dead!
Amen
"They're real, and they're spectacular!!"
I agree with you. From the obit, it looks like he most certainly wasn't all bad. He did some unselfish, goodwill things in his short life. Someone had to represent O.J. Johnnie was "just doing his job," most defense lawyers will tell you.
However, I'm going to resist climbing aboard what is going to be a canonization train for this late, departed lawyer. He could have done his job in a more dignified way. Cochran began the daily O.J. Circus. He disrespected the court.........and, alas, Lance Ito collaborated in his own mockery by falling in love with the celebrity scenario.
Johnnie's closing argument was pure street theater - not even tenable as "smoke and mirrors." He was clowning it up, and in so doing, he was also speaking volumes about what dolts he thought the members of the jury were - so dumb that they would accept his theatrics as serious legal argument.
He was right about that, as it turned out. He had read that jury like the palm of his hand.
Sorry, but I ceased having any respect for him (or for the rest of that "dream team") long before Johnnie's coup de grace closing argument song and dance act.
South Park had the best SPOOF of him with the "Chewbacca defense"
I did not agree with him profesionally, nor did I respect his work ethic (or the lack there of) .
..excuse me Im feeling a little emotional now.. Who is going to be the next target on SNL??
Dang it Johnnie...
