Cochran's death leaves void
Satire
The recent death of attorney Johnnie Cochran has many in the United States scrambling to find a new "least favorite attorney."
Cochran led the "Dream Team," a high-powered team of lawyers who successfully defended former N.F.L. star and actor O.J. Simpson charges of murdering his wife and her boyfriend. In the ten years since Simpson's acquittal Cochran has been the standard bearer for all that is wrong with the legal system.
"Without Cochran I feel so empty inside," said a misty eyed Walt Dundeegan, one of many people certain that Cochran helped Simpson get away with murder. "I suppose I could look to other members of O.J.'s legal team, or Robert Blake's attorneys, or John Edwards, but it will take some time. I'll have to wait for the Michael Jackson verdict, I suppose." |
