Johnnie Cochran died
 

Breaking news on CNN, no story up yet.

He's the one who defended OJ- if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit

That is a shock! How old was he?

He's always on tv doing commercials for his law practice here in DC

If I'm ever arrested for murder, he would be the first person I would call.

no way.... that's crazy.

how did he die?

He was 67 (didn't realize how old he was!)

doesn't yet say how he died

ABC news just said he died of an inoperable brain tumor and that he was 67.

He had an inoperable brain tumor according to NBC Nightly News.

There is another thread here.

Rest in Peace.

I can't believe he was 67 - he looked much younger. :(

This came as a complete shock. For someone who worked the press so well, he did a good job of keeping his condition under wraps.

May he rest in peace.

i agree!

67 is so young :(

may he rest peacefully

Thank Fucking God! The man was a joke! His "preacher" style tactics were a bunch of bullshit. The man was known in the legal community for getting O.J. off the hook.....but he wasnt anything special. he said he became a lawyer because he loved to argue. Well, big fucking deal. It doesnt mean he was a good attorney. The man got lucky because he had a preacher style tactic and because he was black. It made him a household name. Good riddons if you ask me.

I'm sure there'll be a number of people who say something along those lines about me. Everyone isnt going to love me, but most people do.

Johnnie Cochran was a legal pimp. RIP big guy.
