On June 15, 1995, defense attorney Johnnie Cochran goaded assistant prosecutor into asking Simpson to put on a leather glove that was found at the scene of the crime. The prosecution had earlier decided against asking Simpson to try on the gloves because the glove had been soaked in blood, mangled during scientific investigation, and frozen and unfrozen several times. Darden was advised by Clark and...

As the late Johnnie Cochran might have put it, "If the jeans were too tight, then she didn't put up a fight." As offensive and ludicrous as this defense might be in an assault or rape case in the United...

It was attorney Johnnie Cochran, during the O.J. Simpson trial, who coined the phrase "rush to judgment." Since then, dozens of other defense attorneys have used the line to try to slow down the condemnation of their clients.

So I'm at the publication party for Johnnie Cochran's memoir at Denzel Washington's restaurant on Melrose. I come out of the women's room too fast, and smack right into OJ Simpson, who's about to enter the adjacent men's room. He's smaller than he seemed on TV and mumbles, "sorry."

It's my great shame to admit that I, like many other Americans, rushed to judgment during the trial of OJ Simpson. I thought he was guilty despite the overwhelming evidence, the obvious racial bias of the investigating officers, and of course, the all-star defense mounted by Johnnie Cochran and the rest of the Dream Team. The glove didn't fit! It didn't fit!! I continued in my wrongheaded belief for...

I was hanging out with my friend Bob; Bob was, unsurprisingly, grumbling as he read the newspaper. At one point Bob sighed heavily. “O.J. Simpson is back in the news again,” he said testily, “why can't that guy go away and leave us alone?” “O.J. just needs some crack legal help,” I said. “He needs to hook up with Johnnie Cochran again…that'll do the trick.” Bob sighed again, more heavily than before....

Like a bad aftertaste, O.J. Simpson is back in headlines and handcuffs. But this time, Johnnie Cochran can't save him. Simpson, the former Heisman Trophy winner, was arrested on Sunday in Las Vegas after he and five other men robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.
