For all the interviews Charlie Rose did throughout his career, he refused to let his subject answer questions without interrupting almost constantly, which is the main reason he was never in Larry King's league.

@@Jeff-is1wh The funny part about that is: not one of them has come forward. He was on the LAPD for 20 years, probably arrested hundreds (maybe even thousands).......and this guy who supposedly went around framing people apparently waited until OJ Simpson to start.
Charlie Rose holds the position that OJ is guilty and he ignores evidence that suggests/proves he didn't. The police tried to frame an innocent man and Charlie Rose seems to refuse that possibility and the evidence that supports it. He doesn't talk about Fuhrman's pleading the 5th when asked if he planted evidence in the trial. Why didn't Rose question why the telephone record of Nicole's conversation with her mother that allegedly exonerate has been sealed to this day? Ans: Because Rose, like many others, want OJ to be guilty when the facts, Nicole's and Ron's alleged drug usage/involvement, the phone call timeline, etc. suggests he was innocent. Rose could care less that 1. Some of the blood at the crime scene has blood preservative EDTA in it that could only have been applied in the crime lab. 2. Vannatter against crime policy took a vial of blood to the crime scene. 3. The bloody sock in the bedroom had blood that seeped from one side to the other which would not have been possible if a foot was in the sock. 4. Mark Fuhrman had a anti-Black history and pled the 5th when asked if he planted evidence. 5. Ron Goldman, trained in martial artist, had defensive words while OJ had no bruises on him. 6. Autopsies of Nicole and Ron by experts conclude that there were two assailants, one right and the other left handed. 7. The phone record between Nicole and her mother is sealed to this day. Rose and others like him seem uninterested in the truth but rather want OJ to be guilty of a crime he did not commit. This is how ingrained in the minds of some anti-Black racism is in America. They reject the idea that white officers could/would frame an innocent Black man when history especially in America and Los Angeles has shown this is not only possible but in light of the facts very likely. They, I suspect, know this to be true. It is evil to want to frame an innocent Black man. Why aren't folk who look like Fuhrman demanding he take a lie detector test and answer the question did he attempt to frame OJ? Ans: They likely know Fuhrman is guilty of trying to frame a Black man consistent with his claims recorded the tapes played in court and don't want the truth exposed. Like a domestic abuser trying to blame their target for the abuse, America claims 'the race card is being played' whenever it's suggested and even proved that anti-Black racism infects and is present in a case. The level of deceit and vileness to try to shame others into not pointing out anti-Black racism is how America operates. Either the facts support anti-Black racism or they don't. In the minds of Rose and others. anti-Black racism isn't allowed to be considered. This is the sickness that pervades this society.

It wasn’t a Long examination, but she did a good job. You could see from the look on his face how pleased he was with the job she did. He looked like a proud Father.

People think Charlie Rose was a good interviewer. I disagree. He interrupts so many times and that's not being a professional. Never did like his style. He got his at the end of his career and justifiably so.
Charlie Ros is a flawless interviewer. Its great to see (even though its quite old) clips in which the interviewer isnt concerned about being a celebrity & constantly interrupting his/her guests. His whole vibe is so positive, calming and classy.
wow what a great interview all these years later... Johnnie gone and OJ just died... I didn't know Johnnie was a prosecutor for two years... I was kinda young during the OJ trial but I didn't know OJ took Robert Shapiro off as lead defense and that asshole is recording conversations for a book in the middle of the trial-- I see why OJ picked Johnnie... so many gems in this interview REST IN POWER Johnnie L Cochran
By the way he tried to dominate the conversation, you would think Charlie Rose had more legal experience than Johnnie Cochran🤦🏻♂️ smh. Just let the man talk. We’re here to listen to him, not you Charlie.
May Johnnie Cochran rest in peace.Marcia Clark could not even get a non partial jury.The judge ruled in favor of the prosecution 75 percent of the time.
The victims families did not deserve to pay the price for the ineptitude of the LA City governments inability to clean up their police corruption. RIP Nicole and Ron
@@williebeamen2x Yeah there is no video footage of OJ committing the murders. Short of that there is proof that OJ did commit the murders. If people needed video evidence then most murderers would go free. Whether a guy said "nigger" ten years does not matter and whether some evidence was mishandled does not matter; DNA does not magically point to OJ Simpson from being mishandled; it just comes back as inconclusive.
@@williebeamen2x NO! The JURY failed Ron and Nicole. An idiot could understand OJ was guilty…..so I have not the foggiest idea of what was going through their pea brains.
@mies viela the lapd forensics said under oath not only they didn’t change there gloves while gathering t blood samples. THEY NEVER Did. Not only that but the head of forensics never read the lapds manual on handling blood and dna samples So there is absolutely no reliable dna evidence And a couple specks of blood the size of a pin head. From a guy that slaughtered people up close an absolute blood bath. Which those were founds weeks later. And had the chemical preservative edta just on the blood spot on a sock and not on the entire sock. The gloves. Imagine the absolutely mishandling of so many cases that doesn’t have the funds and resources of the lapd and that’s how they handled crimes and murder. All it took was 10s of millions of dollars in lawyer fees to bring their practices to light.
Yes but after the trail the jury said there mind were already made up even if there was eye witness they would still vote 2 aqquiet cuz of the rodney king and his celebrity status and they felt he did it but there angry over the system is way they not quilty
Becky & Adam CCGGCC I agree with you completely, I just have a bit more understanding on how he was able to do what he did after listening to him speak here. I still think it was an obvious guilty verdict, but he is a grade A smooth talker and grade A bullshitter

By Using Rascism..? Avoiding the Truth..? Representing a GUILTY Monster & Helping Him Get Out From PRISON!?!?.Look at the Autopsy Photos of Ron & Nicole & Praise Cochran some more👎
Charlie was enough in his element to get nearly every major player in this case on his show, for in depth interview. CR blatantly plays down his own knowledge of this case, but I suspect there's a good reason so many were happy to talk to him, over Larry King, Oprah etc. Cochrane really struggles to explain the softball questions posed by Lange and Vannatter during that initial interview. He also fails to recognise that Jeffrey Toobin properly researched and fact-checked his seminal account of these events. In fact "The Run of his Life" was clearly the most accurate book on this trial. Even with his dubious covert recording habits, Shapiro couldn't match that epic literary feat. For all the criticisms of Cochrane, he made a sincere effort regardless of circumstances, whereas Shapiro acted so shady throughout. Cochrane is wrong to criticise Toobin - the latter had wider perspective the former can only pretend to. I agree Darden's criticism of the jury was very wrong yet understandable given what he went through. I would take Cochrane's call for moral indignation more seriously, if he hadn't been a hired gun for a rich man who left his racial identity behind, long before he became a nationally known sportsman. Both OJ and Cochrane were very lucky with the timing of this trial, and both shamelessly capitolized on the publicity surrounding - but at the end of the day one man is probably a killer, whilst the other is just a smart lawyer who got grief for simply doing his job well ... Go figure how any of this makes sense!
He didn't help his community, he was the cause of Prop 209 in California that stipped blacks of some of their rights because they supported OJ and spat on Nicole and Ron. Thats his legacy. You should respect people like Abraham Lincoln, Malcolm X or Martin Luther King, people who REALLY fought for the black community.
Why would OJ leave behind in the scene of a crime, the gloves he used to murder his own ex wife and her friend along with his fingerprints, his blood and by extension his DNA for the police to find them and associate him with it? Makes no sense. Fortunately for him he was able to pay for great legal representation. Others less fortunate from the same background as his weren't so lucky precisely bc they lacked the means to pay for a good lawyer, NOT bc they commited the crimes they were accused of. People like Emmett Till, a 14 yr old black boy from Mississippi accused of whistling at a white woman in 1955 (an unwritten crime at the time) didn't even get a chance to go to trial. He was abducted, tortured and lynched by her husband and his brother. They then were found not guilty by an all white jury. As if that wasn’t offensive and painful enough for the boy's family and the African American community in general, they then admitted having tortured and killing the boy and selling their story to LOOK MAGAZINE for $4,000. Whether OJ commited those crimes or not the truth is the country has always been divided by race so the division didn’t start the day he was declared not guilty. It was divided before OJ and it has remained divided after OJ. Mark Fuhrman's openly racist attitudes, misogyny and sexism and his superiors knowledge and approval of it helped the defense beat this case. It wasn’t the defense the one to pull the race card as some have said. Mark Furhman introduced it with his words and actions. Let's never forget when asked whether he had planted evidence against OJ he took the 5th. If you have nothing to hide you answer the question, you don't take the 5th like Donald Trump said. Oh wait, Trump also took the 5th more than 400 times so he must've something to hide too.
Why would anyone with an ounce of brains think that a guy who repeatedly beat his wife for years and threatened to kill her didn’t do it when she is eventually brutally murdered?
@@anthonydonofrio3869 Bc I nor you were there to know that. One could assume he did but when you assume without proof of what you're saying you make an a s s out of yourself.
@@hectornegron9155 LOL. Hysterical. There was plenty of proof, such as when he threatened to kill her, the history of violence against her, the blood, the gloves, the shoe prints (proven by photo evidence in the civil trial), the lack of an alibi at the time of the murders, and fact that he changed his story multiple times when asked by his friend Ron Shipp and by LAPD how he got the cut on his hand.
I have a question? Did the blood drops next to the shoe prints found at the bundy crime scene have edta also? I have never heard them bring that up , I get the blood at ojs house might have been tampered with but if his blood was next to those shoe prints then how would he be innocent????
Shapiro lost his son to drugs, Cochrane lost.his battle with cancer, and also Robert Kardashian died prematurely. Okay, so great careers but the murderer was and it is still running free. To me they have all lost and now the bloodshed curse rests on The Kardashians (and that psychopath of a former footballer). I rest my case.
As smart as Cochran was I don’t believe for a minute that he believed O.J. was innocent. Of course he said so in front of the cameras but deep down he knew O.J. did it.
@@awuahcurtis Simpson? Haha did you hear about the time he was able to stay in Las Vegas ? Karma Simpson was guilty, there's no doubt about that , he was able to beat the charge . I still think he's a vile, psycho POS.
In listening to this interview, I feel that Charlie Rose was attempting to show how he would have bested Johnny Cochran in this trial. The problem with that is that, 1. Charlie, you were not presently on the prosecution's team, in the courtroom, 2. Sideline quarter backing never won a game, 3. Never ask a question that you don't know the answer to. Johnny Cochran is a great attorney, and demonstrated how masterfully he dismantled your interview as he did the Prosecution's case of lies in that Courtroom. I, personally, found it quite interesting how Charlie Rose kept trying to get Johnny Cochran to imply that he felt that, at some time during his defense of OJ Simpson, that he (OJ) was guilty. Johnny Cochran stood "10 toes down " on his (OJ) innocence!!!
ASA FAMILY : OH HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH CUT , CUT , INTERRUPTIONS AFTER INTERRUPTIONS . Loved this most informative and interesting interview of our late brother the great honorable attorney Jonnie L. Cochan Jr. here in 2024 , I almost loved it as much as I did when Mr. Cochran originally appeared on it decades ago . But that said personally I didn’t watch Mr. Charlie Rose’s late night night program too often , because most of the time I couldn’t tolerate watching Mr. Rose’s annoying bad habit of always cutting off or interrupting his guests in the middle of their sentences . Now here in 2024 it appears I still feel the same about Mr. Rose’s annoying habit , I also still say to myself like in the past , ‘thank Goodness he didn’t have too many great guest worthy of watching (that I like seeing) , regardless of always having to deal with all his cutting off and interruptions instead of just letting his guests complete their chain of thoughts .’ Amin . B1 and reparations all the way across the board family , and in the form of CASH PAYMENTS , LAND AND A BLACK ANTI-HATE CRIME BILL AS WELL . Amin again . ASA FAMILY :
@30:07, Johnnie starts listing facts that Rose can't counter, so of course Rose plays the jury race card. Can't make this up lol. The way Rose is speaking is soo condescending throughout this whole interview. Love how Johnnie is above it all.
I've seen the (very long) video of Vincent Bugliosi about the Simpson case a few times. He convinced me that Simpson got away with it, not because Cochran and the other defenders were so good, but because the prosecutors did such a lousy job.
Well, Marcia Clark and Chris Darden certainly made their share of mistakes. But I think the bigger problem was Judge Ito allowing the defense to run amuck.
+Daniel Dougan If you actually watch these videos you would find your theories debunked. Cochran tells Rose that Ito shut the defense down on many things they wanted to bring forward in this trial.
The problem was the LAPD's history of corruption and racism finally caught up with them. They probably could have gotten a conviction of OJ if they followed procedure. But no, because of the culture at the LAPD an overzealous genocidal racist cop had to plant a glove and smear blood to secure a conviction because that's what he's enabled and empowered to do in that culture. They've been doing it for DECADES to convict innocent black men of crimes and it came back to bite in their as when they probably had a guilty one. It's called Karma. I for one think OJ's son did it. But that's another story entirely.
You may not always agree with johnnie cochrans view points...but, you gotta admit...he got mad charisma and smooth delivery....gotta like his style....
That's a defence attorney job: to win at all cost 😂😂😂 That's what his work is about. YOU ARE VERY MUCH CONFUSED. YOU SHOULD BLAME THE PROSECUTORS IF OJ WAS FREED. MARCIA CLARK AND THE OTHER GUY WHO WERE SO STUPID AND UNPROFESSIONALS 😅😅
Listen YOUNG LADY, let's get ONE THING understood... A defense attorney's job is to ZEALOUSLY DEFEND HIS/HER'S CLIENT!!! It is the PROSECUTION'S JOB to seek JUSTICE!!! So, you're mad at Cochran for NOT HELPING THE PROSECUTION do THEIR JOB??? Are you NUTS??? Do you know how many INNOCENT PEOPLE would be in jail, if not EXECUTED right now, if the "Court of PUBLIC OPINION" was the judge, jury and executioner??? You're mad at the WRONG MAN!!! He'd done HIS JOB!!!
@@shermanmcclesky6882 F off dear, It is not business to make criminals look like victims. This b@stard should take his fight against racism elsewhere. Making a murderer look innocent is not a job. it is helping the murderer, the p!mp is as guilty as the murderer and deserves hell.
I miss Johnnie Cochran. A wise man of color who wanted Justice for other people of color. With these racists cop's like Fhurman. And many, many, of other's who make all cop's look bad. Btw Charlie Rose in this video didn't allow Cochran to get a word in edgewise. My goodness!!!
After watching the bit where Cochran says he didn't want to cross examine Fuhrman because of racial tensions, I wonder why they had Cochran ask Fuhrman if he planted the glove in the FX series 😐 Might as well have had Bailey do it again since Uelman was cut

@@dixiedeed4918 he was a great lawyer and did his job well and it would've been nice to have had is thoughts on the legal issues of today.
@@dixiedeed4918 He spent as much time as he possibly could to uplift young people. He did his best to give them a sense of hope and empowerment, and the belief that they Could rise above their circumstances.
He gave young lawyers a chance to practice. He even gave one of his young protégés a chance to examine a witness in the OJ case. You could tell she had worked hard on the case; but she was “green,”
and a little nervous. It wasn’t a Long examination, but she did a good job. You could see from the look on his face how pleased he was with the job she did. He looked like a proud Father.
It boggles the mind why people dislike him for doing a Good Job.
John Wayne Gacy, Timothy McVeigh (and others Like them) had attorneys, too. (Oh, but they Lost. What a crime.🙄)
People think Charlie Rose was a good interviewer. I disagree. He interrupts so many times and that's not being a professional. Never did like his style. He got his at the end of his career and justifiably so.

Charlie Ros is a flawless interviewer. Its great to see (even though its quite old) clips in which the interviewer isnt concerned about being a celebrity & constantly interrupting his/her guests. His whole vibe is so positive, calming and classy.

I wish they would do a movie about his life.

wow what a great interview all these years later... Johnnie gone and OJ just died... I didn't know Johnnie was a prosecutor for two years... I was kinda young during the OJ trial but I didn't know OJ took Robert Shapiro off as lead defense and that asshole is recording conversations for a book in the middle of the trial-- I see why OJ picked Johnnie... so many gems in this interview
REST IN POWER Johnnie L Cochran
We lost a great one rest in heaven my brother
By the way he tried to dominate the conversation, you would think Charlie Rose had more legal experience than Johnnie Cochran🤦🏻♂️ smh. Just let the man talk. We’re here to listen to him, not you Charlie.
It was horrific, shut Rose up, let your guest speak
I've always wondered would European imagrents like Charlie would be this concerned if Nicole was black?

The victims families did not deserve to pay the price for the ineptitude of the LA City governments inability to clean up their police corruption. RIP Nicole and Ron
Regardless how you or I feel the prosecution failed Ron and Nicole, Johnnie did his job and they didn't prove OJ killed them point blank period
@@williebeamen2x Yeah there is no video footage of OJ committing the murders. Short of that there is proof that OJ did commit the murders. If people needed video evidence then most murderers would go free. Whether a guy said "nigger" ten years does not matter and whether some evidence was mishandled does not matter; DNA does not magically point to OJ Simpson from being mishandled; it just comes back as inconclusive.
@@williebeamen2x NO! The JURY failed Ron and Nicole. An idiot could understand OJ was guilty…..so I have not the foggiest idea of what was going through their pea brains.
@@pommiebears FALSE :(
@mies viela the lapd forensics said under oath not only they didn’t change there gloves while gathering t blood samples. THEY NEVER Did.
Not only that but the head of forensics never read the lapds manual on handling blood and dna samples
So there is absolutely no reliable dna evidence
And a couple specks of blood the size of a pin head. From a guy that slaughtered people up close an absolute blood bath.
Which those were founds weeks later. And had the chemical preservative edta just on the blood spot on a sock and not on the entire sock.
The gloves.
Imagine the absolutely mishandling of so many cases that doesn’t have the funds and resources of the lapd and that’s how they handled crimes and murder.
All it took was 10s of millions of dollars in lawyer fees to bring their practices to light.
What a smooth talker.. I can see how he talked the jury into a not guilty vote
Yes but after the trail the jury said there mind were already made up even if there was eye witness they would still vote 2 aqquiet cuz of the rodney king and his celebrity status and they felt he did it but there angry over the system is way they not quilty
Becky & Adam CCGGCC I agree with you completely, I just have a bit more understanding on how he was able to do what he did after listening to him speak here. I still think it was an obvious guilty verdict, but he is a grade A smooth talker and grade A bullshitter

@@kidmack3556 there is a giant mamafcuker over there. Pure_bastard OJ
CHARLIE ROSE IS CLEARLY OUT OF HIS ELEMENT MOST OF HIS CROSS EXAMINATIO POINT ARE SO TRIVIAL AND CLEARLY UNINFORMED AND MEDIA LED QUESTIONS...
Charlie was enough in his element to get nearly every major player in this case on his show, for in depth interview. CR blatantly plays down his own knowledge of this case, but I suspect there's a good reason so many were happy to talk to him, over Larry King, Oprah etc. Cochrane really struggles to explain the softball questions posed by Lange and Vannatter during that initial interview. He also fails to recognise that Jeffrey Toobin properly researched and fact-checked his seminal account of these events. In fact "The Run of his Life" was clearly the most accurate book on this trial. Even with his dubious covert recording habits, Shapiro couldn't match that epic literary feat. For all the criticisms of Cochrane, he made a sincere effort regardless of circumstances, whereas Shapiro acted so shady throughout. Cochrane is wrong to criticise Toobin - the latter had wider perspective the former can only pretend to. I agree Darden's criticism of the jury was very wrong yet understandable given what he went through. I would take Cochrane's call for moral indignation more seriously, if he hadn't been a hired gun for a rich man who left his racial identity behind, long before he became a nationally known sportsman. Both OJ and Cochrane were very lucky with the timing of this trial, and both shamelessly capitolized on the publicity surrounding - but at the end of the day one man is probably a killer, whilst the other is just a smart lawyer who got grief for simply doing his job well ... Go figure how any of this makes sense!
RIP JC. A great man who helped his community. This is the kind of attorney I want to be like.
He didn't help his community, he was the cause of Prop 209 in California that stipped blacks of some of their rights because they supported OJ and spat on Nicole and Ron. Thats his legacy. You should respect people like Abraham Lincoln, Malcolm X or Martin Luther King, people who REALLY fought for the black community.
Super sharp and an amazing man. People of his caliber are far and few nowadays

@@ronnyespinoza5066Chauvin an innocent man sacrificed for a criminal druggie 😢
Why would OJ leave behind in the scene of a crime, the gloves he used to murder
his own ex wife and her friend along with his fingerprints, his blood and by extension his DNA for the police to find them and associate him with it?
Makes no sense.
Fortunately for him he was able to pay for great legal representation.
Others less fortunate from the same background as his weren't so lucky precisely bc they lacked the means to pay for a good lawyer, NOT bc they commited the crimes they were accused of.
People like Emmett Till, a 14 yr old black boy from Mississippi accused of whistling at a white woman in 1955 (an unwritten crime at the time) didn't even get a chance to go to trial.
He was abducted, tortured and lynched by her husband and his brother. They then were found not guilty by an all white jury. As if that wasn’t offensive and painful enough for the boy's family and the African American community in general, they then admitted having tortured and killing the boy and selling their story to LOOK MAGAZINE for $4,000.
Whether OJ commited those crimes or not the truth is the country has always been divided by race so the division didn’t start the day he was declared not guilty. It was divided before OJ and it has remained divided after OJ.
Mark Fuhrman's openly racist attitudes, misogyny and sexism and his superiors knowledge and approval of it helped the defense beat this case.
It wasn’t the defense the one to pull the race card as some have said.
Mark Furhman introduced it with his words and actions.
Let's never forget when asked whether he had planted evidence against OJ he took the 5th.
If you have nothing to hide you answer the question, you don't take the 5th like Donald Trump said.
Oh wait, Trump also took the 5th more than 400 times so he must've something to hide too.
Why would anyone with an ounce of brains think that a guy who repeatedly beat his wife for years and threatened to kill her didn’t do it when she is eventually brutally murdered?
@@anthonydonofrio3869 Bc I nor you were there to know that.
One could assume he did but when you assume without proof of what you're saying you make an a s s out of yourself.
@@hectornegron9155 LOL. Hysterical. There was plenty of proof, such as when he threatened to kill her, the history of violence against her, the blood, the gloves, the shoe prints (proven by photo evidence in the civil trial), the lack of an alibi at the time of the murders, and fact that he changed his story multiple times when asked by his friend Ron Shipp and by LAPD how he got the cut on his hand.
Rip to the greatest attorney ever 🙏
I have a question? Did the blood drops next to the shoe prints found at the bundy crime scene have edta also? I have never heard them bring that up , I get the blood at ojs house might have been tampered with but if his blood was next to those shoe prints then how would he be innocent????
He’s not innocent
Brilliant guy, unfortunately leading to justice not getting served.
I strongly disagree Rip JC 🙏🏿
Don’t care
Those defense lawyers didn't care weather O.J was innocent or not. They were there to do a job....
And the prosecutors didn’t care to find the real murderer.
Shapiro lost his son to drugs, Cochrane lost.his battle with cancer, and also Robert Kardashian died prematurely. Okay, so great careers but the murderer was and it is still running free. To me they have all lost and now the bloodshed curse rests on The Kardashians (and that psychopath of a former footballer). I rest my case.
And Detective Vannnater died of heat attack in 20012..,so what
No one dies “prematurely”. Everyone dies in the order our Creator ordains.
This interview still resonates.
As smart as Cochran was I don’t believe for a minute that he believed O.J. was innocent. Of course he said so in front of the cameras but deep down he knew O.J. did it.
that's why both of them deserve the hell! Son of bitchezzzz
I just have no respect for him. None. In fact I’ve no respect for either of these two.
Most lawyers are unscrupulous, especially Robert Shapiro
Excellent lawyer, far to intelligent to genuinely believe in OJ’s innocence.. which is what makes him so contemptible.
Same as the jurors that freed the cops that beat up Rodney King.
Simpson killed two people and all the clowns on here loved him
Hahaha
@@jamesmorgan2064 go and arrest him then
@@awuahcurtis Simpson? Haha did you hear about the time he was able to stay in Las Vegas ? Karma
Simpson was guilty, there's no doubt about that , he was able to beat the charge . I still think he's a vile, psycho POS.
In listening to this interview, I feel that Charlie Rose was attempting to show how he would have bested Johnny Cochran in this trial. The problem with that is that, 1. Charlie, you were not presently on the prosecution's team, in the courtroom, 2. Sideline quarter backing never won a game, 3. Never ask a question that you don't know the answer to. Johnny Cochran is a great attorney, and demonstrated how masterfully he dismantled your interview as he did the Prosecution's case of lies in that Courtroom. I, personally, found it quite interesting how Charlie Rose kept trying to get Johnny Cochran to imply that he felt that, at some time during his defense of OJ Simpson, that he (OJ) was guilty. Johnny Cochran stood "10 toes down " on his (OJ) innocence!!!
Wow did he actually try to lead Johnnie Cochran with some of his questions?
We still need HIM. All this police brutality going on. We still need you Johnny
He had so much more work to do to help our community against white terror and injustice. Johnny was a hero and a brilliant genius

I really miss Charlie Rose. Unfortunate how he suddenly gone. Great interview style.
ASA FAMILY :
OH HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH CUT , CUT , INTERRUPTIONS AFTER INTERRUPTIONS .
Loved this most informative and interesting interview of our late brother the great honorable attorney Jonnie L. Cochan Jr. here in 2024 , I almost loved it as much as I did when Mr. Cochran originally appeared on it decades ago .
But that said personally I didn’t watch Mr. Charlie Rose’s late night night program too often , because most of the time I couldn’t tolerate watching Mr. Rose’s annoying bad habit of always cutting off or interrupting his guests in the middle of their sentences .
Now here in 2024 it appears I still feel the same about Mr. Rose’s annoying habit , I also still say to myself like in the past , ‘thank Goodness he didn’t have too many great guest worthy of watching (that I like seeing) , regardless of always having to deal with all his cutting off and interruptions instead of just letting his guests complete their chain of thoughts .’ Amin .
B1 and reparations all the way across the board family , and in the form of CASH PAYMENTS , LAND AND A BLACK ANTI-HATE CRIME BILL AS WELL . Amin again .
ASA FAMILY :
@30:07, Johnnie starts listing facts that Rose can't counter, so of course Rose plays the jury race card. Can't make this up lol. The way Rose is speaking is soo condescending throughout this whole interview. Love how Johnnie is above it all.
Charlie Rose interviewing Johnnie Cochrane, oh the humanity!
The most powerful lawyer that had everyone watching TV with the trail of OJ Simpson Johnny Cochran ,if it don't fit you must aquitted ,RIP !❤❤❤❤
Just an incredible human and an absolutely amazing career rip
that was a great interview 👌👌
By Cochran, but the interviewer sucks badly!
I've seen the (very long) video of Vincent Bugliosi about the Simpson case a few times. He convinced me that Simpson got away with it, not because Cochran and the other defenders were so good, but because the prosecutors did such a lousy job.
Well, Marcia Clark and Chris Darden certainly made their share of mistakes. But I think the bigger problem was Judge Ito allowing the defense to run amuck.
+Daniel Dougan If you actually watch these videos you would find your theories debunked. Cochran tells Rose that Ito shut the defense down on many things they wanted to bring forward in this trial.
The problem was the LAPD's history of corruption and racism finally caught up with them.
They probably could have gotten a conviction of OJ if they followed procedure. But no, because of the culture at the LAPD an overzealous genocidal racist cop had to plant a glove and smear blood to secure a conviction because that's what he's enabled and empowered to do in that culture. They've been doing it for DECADES to convict innocent black men of crimes and it came back to bite in their as when they probably had a guilty one.
It's called Karma. I for one think OJ's son did it. But that's another story entirely.
cedric grant The OJ's son Jason "did it" theory is a crock.
The murder's had to have been committed by more than one killer.
@@cedricgrant351 they never planted the glove. It fell out of Oj's pocket when he jumped the fence.

After watching the bit where Cochran says he didn't want to cross examine Fuhrman because of racial tensions, I wonder why they had Cochran ask Fuhrman if he planted the glove in the FX series 😐 Might as well have had Bailey do it again since Uelman was cut
