LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Johnnie Cochran Jr.'s most celebrated clients, O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson, joined civil rights figures and Hollywood stars at the lawyer's funeral Wednesday, remembering Cochran's cunning legal skills and his commitment to the people he represented.
Cochran, 67, died March 29 of an inoperable brain tumor at his home in Los Angeles. He was diagnosed with the tumor in December 2003.
"He didn't just love justice or admire justice -- he did justice, he achieved justice, he fought for justice, he made it happen," said Mayor James Hahn, the former city attorney and a Cochran friend.

May Johnnie Cochran RIP. Johnnie was one of the best at what he did. Not sure that is a good thing (When the Supreme Judge has the final say), especially if Johnny thought some of his clients were guilty.
