Johnnie Cochran
Short-sighted, uninformed people with closed minds really piss me off. He was about so much more than the O.J. Simpson case. He was, possibly, one of the greatest civil rights, and human rights, lawyers of all time, certainly of his generation. He righted so many injustices. He was a champion of the downtrodden. Please, if all you know about him is "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," please go read more about him. And, even in the O.J. trial, he managed to point out corruption and bad practices in law enforcement and certain practices in evidence collection and storage, as well as incompetance in the L.A. District Attorney's office.
I was totally appalled when my boyfriend said that after his first show last night he got e-mails from people saying they would never watch him again, and lost all respect for him, because he declared his friendship for Cochran and spoke nicely about him. These people need to get a clue. I would think that people watching the most intelligent and balanced news show on the air would have already had a clue. Apparently not.
