"Long before he defended OJ Simpson on murder charges, Johnnie Cochran prosecuted Lenny Bruce for alleged obscenity."

I never knew that....

"Long before he defended OJ Simpson on murder charges, Johnnie Cochran prosecuted Lenny Bruce for alleged obscenity."

Man was full of surprises. He was the attorney who represented Michael Jackson in the '93 child molestation charge and was instrumental in getting Geragos to handle the current case. Dan Abrams and Rikki Klayman couldn't sing his praises more highly tonight on MSNBC but unfortunately I can't get the bad taste out of my mouth over his antics during the OJ trial.

Johnnie Cochran was the Assistant DA in LA.

Why do you think he was so adept at taking the prosecutions case apart?

His son is a CHP officer.

Now, that takes him DOWN a peg in my book, even more than representing Simpson...
