The only time that you pay a lawyer is when you want your own way. A lot of the people who paid him money got their own way.Therefore he was good at his job. I can't say that I am a big fan of the kind of defence lawyer who takes on cases that are largely formalities and proceeds to steal freedom for a guilty client, however, all the time such lawyers exist, the prosecution has to work hard on every prosecution, knowing that if they don't present absolute proof, they will be punished.Too many people are prepared to worship the word of police officers, and the alternative to cases being vigorously defended and the odd scumbag cheating the system is for trials to become a formality, with people being sent to jail because they fit the profile.Most people that I know think that OJ was guilty.Rather than criticising his lawyer for exploiting the inconsistencies, they should criticise theinability of a a profesional team of prosecutors to make the obvious stick.

If you look into Cochrans history before the OJ trial you may think differently about him being sleezy. He did a lot of good work for minorities in his local area.
I agree with Taranaki on this one. He was hired to do a job and he did it well.

I wonder if he showed up in heaven (or hell) and was informed that OJ really did it.

I'm sure he knew all along that OJ did it. But he found the legal loophole.

DGB454- that's true he worked many years for very little money in the minority community before the oj fiasco.

Anyone who devotes his time to freeing scum like OJ ....is sleazy. If you know your guy is guilty (like the rest of the civilized world did) and you run the victim and the victim's family through that kind of crap....you are sleaze! Plain and simple.

You're a hater... thats his job, people dont hire lawyers to lose cases
And all the good he did for poor communities far outweighs him keeping OJ out of jail

At least Cochran can say that he was getting paid for what he did. What's motivating you to uselessly bash a dead man?

My uncle defends tobacco companies in lawsuits, and my grandma (his mom) died from smoking. Are you going to tell me he's a sleazy lawyer because his firm assigned him to defend tobacco companies?

Don't forget about those sleazy public defenders your local governments pays to defend criminals even worse than OJ.

The world said that OJ was guilty.
This man said 'prove it'.
The world presented its case
12 jurors agreed that the case was not strong enough.
OJis free,not because of what Cochran did, but because of what the prosecution failed to do.

He was freed because this slimeball played the race card in an offensive manner and got away with it. The OJ case had NOTHING to do with race until this guy introduced it. THAT is sleaze. He is probably NOT enjoying hell.

I hate to admit it but I agree with Taranki for once. The guy did his job and he did it well.

You are assuming that the jury accepted that it was a race issue.In which case it is the jury at fault, not the defence.
Are you basing your bile for this particular corpse on the one case, or do you have wider issues with him.....?

In US society it is getting harder and harder to beat the race card. It is all too freaking often the trump card.

Must be frustrating after so many years of your race being a priviledge to find that it is now a liability.

True; I believe in equal opportunity, but it has been taken so far beyond fair in many ways.

bagwasshrirashnish you have a valid point on the race card thing, I agree, but you know the Miranda Rights- "you have the right to an attorney...." A lawyer doesn't have to know or care if you are innocent.
The race thing that we can see being exploited is these black "leaders" that always show up for media opps. Jesse Jackson is a whore for that anything there is any inkling of white doing wrong to black. But when black folks kill black folks he ain't no where around.

You have to admit that Jackson is a totally different animal than was Cochran. Cochran at least worked for a living rather than living on the backs of the people he claims to be helping. Jackson is a politician in it's lowest form. Rainbow coalition my butt. The only color in his rainbow is green.

So what? theses white folk just as ignorant.
“Muslims are evil people who should be destroyed and annihilated.”
"Blow them away in the name of the Lord."
"I think the Moslem faith teaches hate. I think there's clear evidence that the Islam [sic] religion, wherever it has majority control--and I can name a dozen countries--doesn't even allow people of other faiths to express themselves or evangelize or to exist in their presence....I think that when persons are clearly bigoted towards other persons in the human family, they should be disqualified from funds[my emphasis]. For that reason, Islam should be out the door before they knock."
Jerry Falwell
"I listen to feminists and all these radical gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men - that's their problem."

"Quit looking at the symbols. Get out and get a job. Quit shooting each other. Quit having illegitimate babies."
--State Rep. John Graham Altman (R-SC), addressing African-American concerns about the 'symbol' of the Confederate Flag, New York Times, 01-24-97
"There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The 'negroes' of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours."
--Pat Buchanan, "Right from the Beginning," (his 1988 autobiography), p. 131 - Commenting on race relations in the 1940s and 1950s
"My sons are 25 and 30. They are blond-haired and blue-eyed. One amendment today said we could not sell guns to anybody under drug treatment. So does that mean if you go into a black community, you cannot sell a gun to any black person?"
--U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin, Congressional Record, 4/9/03
(Yeah, they're all on drugs.)
I could go to the archives of the 700 Club and pull out endless screeds of utter crap by Pat Buchannan,well known ignorant white bigot, but I think by now you can see my point.
'Playing the race card' is one of the oldest tricks in the book.It's notjing peculiar to black lawyers.
