Sherman comes across as a "reasonable" guy on talk shows but this article reveals how he bragged about trickery to his fellow lawyers.

Miraculously, all his sleazy tricks failed and justice was done.

Sherman is a grown man who must have a modicum of intelligence so how can he be so incredibly twisted. Cool parties, for the love of God.

I see Johnny Cockroach making the rounds of TV shows to sell his book. Each imbecile asking him if he thinks OJ is innocent and he says yes.

If he were to say OJ is guilty he would be immediately disbarred. But the media continues to play the game.

To the left, it's all about the game and to hell with justice, rules of society, or people's lives.

Roy Black too should have been disbarred. He was messing with a juror on the Wm Kennedy Smith case DURING the trial.

A pox on them all.

Repeat after me, "A lawyer's morality is only as deep as winning a case for the client." Anything done for that end is moral to a lawyer.

In an attorney's world, there is no other definition of morality. The non-attorney views these heinous actions from an otherworldly perspective that has no focus or recognition in the lawyer's domain.

Therefore, when one goes to castigate an attorney for what appears to be unconscienable and alien behavior, remember that he/she hears such rebuffs as if from a pet dog. He/she hears only yapping and finds that the only way to respond to such unintelligible vocalizations is to prate the party line, "this is not immoral under the American system of jurisprudence where the aggressive defense of the citizenry is guaranteed by the Constitution."

It is safe to say that you will hardly hear any argument on the tactics of Mr. Sherman by defense attorneys. They all find such methods laudable, clever and aboveboard. Remember, this information is from a Continuing Education Class of the Nevada State Bar. Every state bar promotes similar aggressive tactics.

I agree that Sherman is just another menmber of the trial lawyer industry, which can be described also as:

A collection of arrogant, thieving, loathesome, corrupt, traitorous, unethical, narcissistic white collar sociopaths.

A vile, essentially criminal enterprise in our contemporary nation, a collection of verminous lawyer scum.

A vast evil industry unregulated in any fashion by consumer or ethical control, unlike any other business in the United States.

An antisocial cabal of pigs in $3000 suits who financially exploit the law, but at the same time do not believe the law applies to them personally.

Prediction: there will be FR lawyer-boys and lawyer-girls showing up on this thread to "instruct" us on the morality of acting like Sherman.

Sherman is completely self-absorbed; no wonder he lost the case. It seems he was counting on the Kennedy connection to get his scummy client off the hook.

In dealing with all members of the press, avoid cliches. Referring to a case as a tragedy or to a client as being framed does not convey a thoughtful message. To describe an unfortunate death situation, I use the term "a horrible human event." Come up with phrases that you believe in and are comfortable saying. Repeat them continuously, and they will be repeated by the media. After awhile, the repetition almost becomes a fact. That is your ultimate goal.
