I've met Johnny and actually spent some time with him. While I think his famous client was guilty, I still found him to be a very personable guy.
He's a race-baiting whore.
He was next to my wife and I at the Acme Oyster Bar in New Orleans in May. He had a noticeable tick.
I wonder if this "neurological condition" is not Parkinsons.
Why is it that so many people, upon meeting a celebrity, just roll over for them--no matter how bad of a person that celeb may be...
"well I met him, and he's a personable guy..."
Please. He's personable like all GREAT con man--Bill Clinton to Johnny Cochran and the like.
I'm sure Billy Boy Clinton would be a fun guy to meet too.
As they say, bad con man aren't successful--only the really good ones can create the major misery that a Johnny Cochran or a Bill Clinton can conjure.
Sorry, don't mean to rant at you, and I'll probably get smacked back hard. I just get sick of that sentiment towards very bad persons, like Cochran. Here's a guy who created the absolutely ludicrous con -- predicated on the playing of the most vile, unsupported racial card -- that allowed a vicious, heinous criminal to run free. I hate the SOB for doing it.
May his personable @ss rot in hell along with other world-class con-men!
