Don't judge lawyers by their clients. Someone's got to defend these guys.

If I ever killed anyone, I would've wanted Johnny Cochran to be my lawyer.

Fortunately, Cochran’s people say his condition is not life threatening, and his friends think he’ll be back on the docket in no time. Grace insisted, “He will charm the nurses, the doctors, the illness, he can charm a bird out of a tree.”

Of course, they failed to tell the press that the doctor was the personal physician to the Prime Ministers of the USSR during the 70s and 80s.

Wow, I had no idea he was sick.

May he rest in peace.

I thought it was a sudden heart attack?

Did you get the part about being an attorney? That rules out heart problems.

(Sorry for the bad joke. Hope he made peace with the Lord and went home.)

"If he doesn't stir, you must inter!"

Oh man...that's priceless! Please allow a minor rewrite...expand the contraction.

"If he does not stir, you must inter!" Kinda bounces better?? More preachy sounding maybe.

"If he doesn't stir, you must inter!"

His epitaph - very fitting! May OJ's victims meet him wherever he goes and do to him what OJ did to them.

All he did was do a great job as a lawyer — which is what we're supposed to do — and beat some inept prosecutor. For him to get vilified for it just shows the racism in our community"

Pure BS.

"That is funny, say what you want about my sense of humor. I hope he was at peace with God."

Hardly. Johnnie's already filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Him......
