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.
Just imagine how many innocent men and women would be released from prison or never convicted to begin with if you're average public defender had one quarter of the talent and dedication of the great Johnnie Cochran
@@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.
Only MORONS like you who is jealous of white people would say stupid stuff like that....Johnnie Cochran is a liar and a r@cist who h@tes white people.....he knows OJ was guilty....do your research before you post stupid stuff
This guy is a super smart cookie he outfoxed the system and they have never forgiven him for it. If he was getting dirty cops off the hook he would be a hero.
manweller1 lol he'd be a villain either way. it's just if he was getting of dirty cops he'd be a hero among the police community . he got off a guilty black man so he is a hero of the black community. to me, idc. it's his job to defend his clients. so whoever he defense, he is being paid to do his best. sure it'd be nice for him to only represent clients he truly believes are innocent (and Robert Kardashian claims he had his doubts about O.J. and before Johnnie joined the "dream team" he had an interview where he pretty much admitted he thought o.j. was guilty. and it was a loser of a case.) but hey it is what it is. he saw stardom and fortune and he took it. who wouldn't.
He is a genius. Many people like to say defence lawyers are evil for defending the accused but someone needs to do it. We cannot have a just society without defence attorneys. Prosecutors are just lawyer cops. We need protection. The amount of people who are wrongly convicted for crimes is disgusting. We should start celebrating defence lawyers because they’re lawyers defending the people
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.
…and you’d be asleep within 10 mins. Interviews are about getting information not allowing the guest to filibuster and ramble on. There’s only so much time and they’re trying to get as much out of it than they can. That’s why they are professionals and you are not.
@@laurencewhite4809 look, man DID *IS JOB! DEFENSE LAWYER, DEFENDED O.J. like it or NOT, just like O.J. was brilliant at *IS job! we excell at wat we do and you CANT STAND IT
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.
@@thomaskennedy1617 The defense did try to use it. Why aren't you and others demanding the record be unsealed? How is knowing exactly when the call was made and how long it lasted harmful unless doing so shows OJ was framed?
1: This is disputed. EDTA is also found in processed foods, like McDonalds, which Simpson had consumed the night of the murders. The toxicologist, Dr. Frederic Rieders, originally stated there were only two possible sources for the EDTA - from a blood sample tube (i.e. planted) OR through contamination of the bloodstains in the laboratory. But upon redirect cross examination, he admitted that he made an error and that it might not have come from a vial at all. An FBI expert also disputed the claim it was planted. Ultimately the claim of EDTA on the sock coming from Nicole Brown's reference vial was conclusively disproved by Dr. Robin Cotton who showed the DNA in the reference vial was more degraded than the DNA on the sock, proving it could not have come from that vial. 2: True. Vannatter did have a vial of OJ's blood on him, it was in an envelope, he freely admitted that under oath. His reason? Because he wanted to hand it to the person in charge of forensics personally given that it was a high-profile case, but it was still in violation of normal police procedure. I would also point out that he was ordered to give OJ an in-person death notification about Nicole for the same reason (high-profile case), Juice was a celebrity, so cops gave him VIP treatment. Lastly, I would also point out that Vannatter had a pretty good record, not one complaint made against him his entire career, no allegations of racism or brutality. He had no motive to frame OJ. 3: Actually, the socks thing is disputed. I know there was a discrepancy with what time they were discovered/tested because the video camera filming the crime scene was showing one time, but the police were quoting another time. The camera clock had not been readjusted to daylight saving time. You'll have to do more reading into the socks, I can't explain it very well here, it would take up too much time and space. But I can tell you it's disputed. 4: Mark Fuhrman pleaded the fifth to ALL questions, not just that one. He plead the fifth because the prosecution abandoned him after the tapes had come out, he couldn't get any representation, not even his own personal lawyer would touch him, so in order to give the defence nowhere to go, he plead the fifth across the board. See, if he answers one question, then pleads the fifth on another one, it makes him look even more guilty. Pleading the fifth on all is better, but still makes him look bad. Fuhrman did indeed have a racist past, that is true, but people can change. By 1994, he was a detective, had several black friends, including assistant DA Danette Meyers who defended him, and months before the OJ murders, he had actually saved a black man, Aarick Harris, who had been wrongfully charged with the murder of a white man. True story. Harris was done for, but Fuhrman believed he was innocent and went out onto the street to find the real killer. 5: Ron trained in Karate, yes, but he was hardly an expert, nor a match for a raging ex- professional football player armed with a knife. The defensive wounds on his hands likely came from hitting the iron bars of the gate when his arms were flailing. OJ was behind him with a tight grip, Ron couldn't land a blow, he tried clawing away at his arm and head, which is how the cap and gloves were lost, but couldn't actually land any substantive blows. 6: That is false. The autopsy never concluded there were two killers. Thats all speculation. 7: The records were sealed after the defence and the prosecution BOTH stipulated that the last phone call made was around 21:44. If there was evidence to the contrary, the defence would have used it.
And the socks WERENT THERE...ON VIDEO TAPE... before Fuhrman was caught in the bedroom during the filming of OJs house. He dripped blood from the vial and then put the socks there AFTER the bedroom was filmed...showing NO SOCKS. Fuhrman is a despicable less-than-human. I'd love to meet him.
He did a hostile interview with 2 of the other attorneys too. As soon as they start pointing out the realities of the case, as opposed to people's fantasies about it, he cuts them off.
But he will also be known for "Acquit Simpson and send the police a message." That was a CLEAR demand for a jury nullification. And besides, Cochran didn't think up the glove quote, it was Gerald Uelman.
I don't even get the glove, the glove was clearly his - he had a receipt for it and for that size. So who cares if it fit? I wear stuff that don't fit perfectly sometimes.
@@shitlista4283 I think if I were planning a Murder, I would make sure All of my attire was comfy. I don’t think I would have Time for wedgies, tight shoes, or gloves that don’t fit. (The man had Moves to make.)
@@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.🙄)
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.
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.
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.
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
@@hotboy80baby18 the evidence had him dead to rights you fool. The blood of both victims was found on his socks he left back at his house before he left to Chicago. You just have the same IQ as the morons who acquitted him.
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.
at 18:00 or so they start talking about Jeffrey Toobin, the reporter and Lawyer, who wrote a book and said in it that Johnnie Cochran told him O.J. was guilty before he took the case. Cochran here says that it's a lie, and he can't believe Toobin said that. Jeffrey Toobin was fired, 25 years later, from his job because he was playing with himself on a zoom call with employees of the New Yorker, while he was watching the women on the zoom call. No further comment.
Just because he got caught Loobin’ his Toobin doesn’t mean that bit of info, verified with several different people who spoke to Cochran, isn’t true. He just broke the Supreme Court Justice retirement story weeks early. He is very well sourced. I believe it. Of course Johnnie denies it here. I’d be shocked if he didn’t. P.S. If you believe men who’ve committed sexual misconduct can’t be honest, then by definition you also can’t trust the two men we’re watching in this video.
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!
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....
Johnnie Cochran is an extremely good looking man. Very smart, very interesting to listen to. He is cool, calm & sexy. May he rest in peace. So sad a young, brillant man passed away so young. RIP, may your memory always be remembered.
I wonder if Johnnie (who is supposedly very righteous) even gave a real thought that perhaps O J did it or he just didn't care if he did it or not ....
It's hysterical how from 38:40 to 41:27 when Cochran talks about Bugliosi who at the time had written a book about Simpson's obvious guilty. I do think a lot of what Cochran said about Bugliosi is true, but I also think Cochran knew that Bugliosi could see through all the nonsense and lies he spun out of thin air throughout the trial. I am pretty certain that Johnnie Cochran knew that Simpson was guilty, and all his smoke and mirrors didn't work with Bugliosi for a split second.
joeb267382 I know JOhnny knew OJ was guilty and using God to argue to a jury the untruth is what cost him his life. It was the same for Bobby Khardashian. Both assisted in the murders by defaming good cops and lying to the jury while the other most likely hid the murder weapon also. Oj will join them both in hell eventually.
joeb267382 I agree that YOU" think when Cochran talks about Bugliosi who at the time had written a book about Simpson's obvious guilty.

am a bit worried with how you guys think or suggest. some of you blame the jury and some blame the prosecutors. let me get this open from you guys.... what do you think about LANGE, VENNATTER, FUNG and MARK KLANSMAN FURHMAN? planning to bring down O.J because he is black, because he made his own fortune and the WHITES failed to reach thus far. WHY DID MARK KLANSMAN FURHMAN PLANT EVIDENCE? if you reply me satisfactorily..... i will tune to your FALSE LINE OF THINKING and believe along with you that O.J was guilty. my position UNTIL JESUS COMES TO END THIS LIFE will be O.J WAS, IS and SHALL BE INNOCENT. even if he testifies that he murdered those two.... I STILL WILL NOT BELIEVE HIM, even myself guys, if i say in mine own heart that O.J is guilty, i will not believe myself. THANK YOU
@@MrParkerman6 Really? A defense attorney doing his job. Sounds like you need to move out of America. North Korea will welcome with open arms un-American pieces of crap like you.
Interesting guy.. this interview and the miniseries shed some light on what his character motivations were. I believe as a defense attorney he saw himself waging a bigger, more noble fight for people.. and that's commendable. But I also think OJ was guilty and an unworthy recipient of what Cochran was trying to do.
@Paul Bolger What?!...Scheck and Neufeld interview on Charlie Rose. Ok, gotta check it out. Or u can just give us a summary. Ok, I guess I gotta check it out, cuz u said "priceless."
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 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????
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!!!
green dreems He DID deserve 10 years or more for committing PERJURY in a murder trial. If he was a regular civilian, then maybe not. But he took an oath to serve and protect, not to plant evidence and lie.
green dreems How do you know that he didnt plant evidence? And why did he lie on the stand? Why did he break the law on the witness stand in front of the judge?
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!!!
I thought it was a respectful interview, on both participants. I do believe, that police have an incredible amount of power and it should only be given to a select few and have them held accountable.
@@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.
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.
Johnnie Cochran was indeed a brilliant lawyer - in the Simpson case he used every trick/lie in the book to instill “reasonable doubt” in the minds of the jury, and he was the main reason, together with the weakness of the prosecution, why Simpson was acquitted, although EVERYONE knew that he murdered two innocent, defenseless people. Of course it was HIS blood, and that of his victims at the crime scene, in HIS car, in HIS house, on HIS socks, on HIS glove in HIS garden. Of course, it was Simpson himself who tried to run away in his Bronco during which he virtually confessed when he said “I’m the only one who deserves to get hurt”. The prosecution made massive errors by allowing the defense to let Simpson try on the gloves which he used during the murders, as they had shrunk due to having been soaked in blood, and because he was wearing latex gloves when trying on his leather gloves. He furthermore denied having owned Bruno Magli “ugly ass shoes” but it was later demonstrated that he was lying. Of course it was none other than Simpson who murdered his estranged wife and her friend but Johnnie Cochran turned the trial into a trial of the police claiming that the police had framed Simpson by planting his blood and that of his victims at the crime scene, in his car, in his house, in his driveway etc etc and duped the jury into believing that “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”. That was the lie of the century in the trial of the century.
@@geekaleek Congratulations ! You and your dog are probably the only ones on the planet who believe in Simpson’s innocence ! Some Afro-Americans saw the verdict as revenge for police brutality and for racistic behaviour towards them, but anyone who takes an unbiased look at the Simpson double murder case knows that the facts speak for themselves, and that only one person could be the murderer, and that was the defendant, who tried to escape, carrying a disguise and a lot of money and a gun, during which he said to the police “I am the only one who deserves to be hurt” and during which he was on the verge of shooting himself. Is that the behaviour of an innocent man ? ..🧐 Come on !!!

@@joiisler3012 OK, so who in your opinion murdered these two innocent people ??? Other than Simpson himself, it could only be Simpson’s clone or identical twin brother, as he must have the same DNA as Simpson, drive his car and smear the exterior and interior of it with his own blood, and the blood of his two victims. Also, he must wear Simpson’s ugly ass Bruno Magli’s shoes, and take off his socks in Simpson’s house with the blood of his victims on them and leave them in Simpson’s house. Just imagine ! All these facts had nothing to do with Simpson himself, and it wasn’t Simpson who beat up his wife on several occasions either ! All this time, everybody thought it was Simpson himself doing all this, when it was in fact either his identical twin, or clone..🤔 It’s time to stop fantasising, and to face the cold facts.. Simpson is a brutal psychopathic murderer.
I think he was a brilliant lawyer but I think he flamed the racial issue in this country, making it harder to heal. Plus he is so smart he knew O J did it and I have no idea how he could of lived knowing a killer went free.

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 :
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
OJ obviously committed the murders, but I don't really understand people who get mad at Johnnie Cochran for defending OJ. That's his job as a defense attorney. That's what he's paid to do. It's the prosecution's fault for not having a stronger case than the defense, and it's the system & judge's fault for not picking a more competent & less biased jury. The defense attorney's job is to do everything within his/her means to prevent their client from being convicted. That means raising doubt by any means; playing the race card, accuse the evidence of being tainted or sloppy, point out corruption, tap into the jury's emotions to get them on your side, etc.
I love how in every OJ related interview, Charlie repeatedly states he didn't follow the trial. Yet he got nearly every key lawyer on his show, and consistently asks far more incisive questions that similar folks such as Shapiro's mate Larry King. Interesting that Shapiro is noticeable by his absence, which is a shame since he was such a shitty attorney - he deserved to be called to account for his dubious behaviour!
BTW Jeffrey Toobin's book on OJ "The Run of His Life" highlights how disingenuous Bob Shapiro was before, during and after the OJ trial. Shapiro refuses even to be honest about the early legal work he did decades before this trial. Also Toobin's got substantive sources regarding his reporting that Cochrane said openly off-camera many times (before he was engaged by OJ) that this was a difficult case due to the overwhelming evidence pointing toOJ's potential guilt. Cochrane should man up and admit his uninformed., off-the-cuff remarks, rather than his unconvincing denials. I assume CR has first hand evidence of this, from his contacts in the industry. It's not like it's inculpatory evidence for Cochrane to concede he may have offered such opinions, as he clearly didnt have access to all the facts and evidence back then...
echØrder I think Robert knew he was guilty, and was sane. unlike everyone else. who the fuck would have really believed that O.J was gonna walk? I sure as hell didn't. so Robert Shapiro thought the smartest thing to do was take a plea and serve 12 years (6 with good behavior). that would have been a good deal for a double murder.
@@echrder3572 why would he deny making the statements after the fact. Nothing he says would diminish what Cochran did in that Court room along with the other outstanding attorneys. In other words there is no point to him lying. He gains or loses nothing.
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.
Being unethical, knowingly getting off a double murderer, is despicable in ANY race and always has been! Just automatically believing his friend, O.J., who claimed to be innocent, is not enough. Please don't lump all whites together nor any other race! That is, in fact, racist!
Tvk Wy Okay, so you're ranting against racism and genocide, but spouting notions of it instead, against white people?! (And by the way, part of my white ancestors, the Irish, were victims of genocide by several million from the English in the potato famine.) Why don't you tell your above comment to President Obama, who's mother was white; I'm sure he'd love to hear that one!
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.

to me, idc. it's his job to defend his clients. so whoever he defense, he is being paid to do his best. sure it'd be nice for him to only represent clients he truly believes are innocent (and Robert Kardashian claims he had his doubts about O.J. and before Johnnie joined the "dream team" he had an interview where he pretty much admitted he thought o.j. was guilty. and it was a loser of a case.) but hey it is what it is. he saw stardom and fortune and he took it. who wouldn't.

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.
Explain the phone call regarding nicole and her mother. Why didn’t the defence use it?
@@thomaskennedy1617 The defense did try to use it. Why aren't you and others demanding the record be unsealed? How is knowing exactly when the call was made and how long it lasted harmful unless doing so shows OJ was framed?
1: This is disputed. EDTA is also found in processed foods, like McDonalds, which Simpson had consumed the night of the murders. The toxicologist, Dr. Frederic Rieders, originally stated there were only two possible sources for the EDTA - from a blood sample tube (i.e. planted) OR through contamination of the bloodstains in the laboratory. But upon redirect cross examination, he admitted that he made an error and that it might not have come from a vial at all. An FBI expert also disputed the claim it was planted. Ultimately the claim of EDTA on the sock coming from Nicole Brown's reference vial was conclusively disproved by Dr. Robin Cotton who showed the DNA in the reference vial was more degraded than the DNA on the sock, proving it could not have come from that vial.
2: True. Vannatter did have a vial of OJ's blood on him, it was in an envelope, he freely admitted that under oath. His reason? Because he wanted to hand it to the person in charge of forensics personally given that it was a high-profile case, but it was still in violation of normal police procedure. I would also point out that he was ordered to give OJ an in-person death notification about Nicole for the same reason (high-profile case), Juice was a celebrity, so cops gave him VIP treatment. Lastly, I would also point out that Vannatter had a pretty good record, not one complaint made against him his entire career, no allegations of racism or brutality. He had no motive to frame OJ.
3: Actually, the socks thing is disputed. I know there was a discrepancy with what time they were discovered/tested because the video camera filming the crime scene was showing one time, but the police were quoting another time. The camera clock had not been readjusted to daylight saving time. You'll have to do more reading into the socks, I can't explain it very well here, it would take up too much time and space. But I can tell you it's disputed.
4: Mark Fuhrman pleaded the fifth to ALL questions, not just that one. He plead the fifth because the prosecution abandoned him after the tapes had come out, he couldn't get any representation, not even his own personal lawyer would touch him, so in order to give the defence nowhere to go, he plead the fifth across the board. See, if he answers one question, then pleads the fifth on another one, it makes him look even more guilty. Pleading the fifth on all is better, but still makes him look bad. Fuhrman did indeed have a racist past, that is true, but people can change. By 1994, he was a detective, had several black friends, including assistant DA Danette Meyers who defended him, and months before the OJ murders, he had actually saved a black man, Aarick Harris, who had been wrongfully charged with the murder of a white man. True story. Harris was done for, but Fuhrman believed he was innocent and went out onto the street to find the real killer.
5: Ron trained in Karate, yes, but he was hardly an expert, nor a match for a raging ex- professional football player armed with a knife. The defensive wounds on his hands likely came from hitting the iron bars of the gate when his arms were flailing. OJ was behind him with a tight grip, Ron couldn't land a blow, he tried clawing away at his arm and head, which is how the cap and gloves were lost, but couldn't actually land any substantive blows.
6: That is false. The autopsy never concluded there were two killers. Thats all speculation.
7: The records were sealed after the defence and the prosecution BOTH stipulated that the last phone call made was around 21:44. If there was evidence to the contrary, the defence would have used it.
And the socks WERENT THERE...ON VIDEO TAPE... before Fuhrman was caught in the bedroom during the filming of OJs house. He dripped blood from the vial and then put the socks there AFTER the bedroom was filmed...showing NO SOCKS. Fuhrman is a despicable less-than-human. I'd love to meet him.
Would be amazing if the interviewer would let him finish answering a question
Exactly. Charlie Rose was so disrespectful and annoying. Dick Cavett would’ve let him talk.
I agree
Charlie Rose sucks like that. Such a narcissist
He did a hostile interview with 2 of the other attorneys too. As soon as they start pointing out the realities of the case, as opposed to people's fantasies about it, he cuts them off.
sounds fantastic
He will forever be known as, “If the glove don’t fit, then you must acquit!”
And wearing that sock hat. That was too funny.
He is not brilliant.Not a single person buys his bullshit.He just got a black jury that is jealous of and hates white people.Simple as that.
But he will also be known for "Acquit Simpson and send the police a message." That was a CLEAR demand for a jury nullification.
And besides, Cochran didn't think up the glove quote, it was Gerald Uelman.
I don't even get the glove, the glove was clearly his - he had a receipt for it and for that size. So who cares if it fit? I wear stuff that don't fit perfectly sometimes.

at 18:00 or so they start talking about Jeffrey Toobin, the reporter and Lawyer, who wrote a book and said in it that Johnnie Cochran told him O.J. was guilty before he took the case. Cochran here says that it's a lie, and he can't believe Toobin said that.
Jeffrey Toobin was fired, 25 years later, from his job because he was playing with himself on a zoom call with employees of the New Yorker, while he was watching the women on the zoom call.
No further comment.
Just because he got caught Loobin’ his Toobin doesn’t mean that bit of info, verified with several different people who spoke to Cochran, isn’t true.

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!

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 😅😅
Johnnie cachran is a legend not a legendary lawyer but a best speaker ever
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.
Charlie Rose can talk too much at times
Totally agree, Charlie just interrupts to damn much, no curticy...
@@andrewvinscully8550 "courtesy"
Agree
It's officially called, diarrhea of the mouth! Agreed 💯 He was afraid the Legend would "steal" the show.
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
When u say “I understand the blood at his at his house may have been tampered with”. That gives up the case right there…
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!!!
(error) Fuhrman
A wise man that wanted a murderer loose
Fuhrman should have gone to jail for at least 10 years
I agree, or even more.
green dreems I beg your pardon.. "What did who do"?
green dreems Exactly.. So why are you asking me about something that you already knew. That I'd commented on 8 wks. Ago?
green dreems He DID deserve 10 years or more for committing PERJURY in a murder trial. If he was a regular civilian, then maybe not. But he took an oath to serve and protect, not to plant evidence and lie.
green dreems How do you know that he didnt plant evidence? And why did he lie on the stand? Why did he break the law on the witness stand in front of the judge?
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!!!
THE G.O.A.T. Rest easy brother. ✊🏾
Yes he was Rest easy Mr Cochran🙏🏾
Rest easy? He for sure knew OJ was guilty.
Was he there when the murder occured?
@@jdrankwalterGO TAKE YOUR VALIUM AND BP MEDS BEFORE YOU HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN OR STROKE OUT. 🫡🫵
I thought it was a respectful interview, on both participants. I do believe, that police have an incredible amount of power and it should only be given to a select few and have them held accountable.
he should have used the chewbacca defense.
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.
Karma will get us all one day.
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.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Johnnie was the voice before Durk !
A legend.
For real it shows
All times
yes, the myth of injustice. A shame!
Johnnie Cochran was indeed a brilliant lawyer - in the Simpson case he used every trick/lie in the book to instill “reasonable doubt” in the minds of the jury, and he was the main reason, together with the weakness of the prosecution, why Simpson was acquitted, although EVERYONE knew that he murdered two innocent, defenseless people. Of course it was HIS blood, and that of his victims at the crime scene, in HIS car, in HIS house, on HIS socks, on HIS glove in HIS garden. Of course, it was Simpson himself who tried to run away in his Bronco during which he virtually confessed when he said “I’m the only one who deserves to get hurt”. The prosecution made massive errors by allowing the defense to let Simpson try on the gloves which he used during the murders, as they had shrunk due to having been soaked in blood, and because he was wearing latex gloves when trying on his leather gloves. He furthermore denied having owned Bruno Magli “ugly ass shoes” but it was later demonstrated that he was lying. Of course it was none other than Simpson who murdered his estranged wife and her friend but Johnnie Cochran turned the trial into a trial of the police claiming that the police had framed Simpson by planting his blood and that of his victims at the crime scene, in his car, in his house, in his driveway etc etc and duped the jury into believing that “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”. That was the lie of the century in the trial of the century.
James McGoldrick yea totally and add to that social media #metoo and forensics today it would be impossible to get OJ off
OJ was innocent. No tricks. Pure evidence and facts
@@geekaleek Congratulations ! You and your dog are probably the only ones on the planet who believe in Simpson’s innocence ! Some Afro-Americans saw the verdict as revenge for police brutality and for racistic behaviour towards them, but anyone who takes an unbiased look at the Simpson double murder case knows that the facts speak for themselves, and that only one person could be the murderer, and that was the defendant, who tried to escape, carrying a disguise and a lot of money and a gun, during which he said to the police “I am the only one who deserves to be hurt” and during which he was on the verge of shooting himself. Is that the behaviour of an innocent man ? ..🧐 Come on !!!
@@zeejimi4044 Are You related to Adrian’s Dog? I ask because you purport to know what it thinks (which is tantamount to making them Equals).
And thank you very much, but African Americans do not need you to speak for Us, either.
When you hear of an Afro-American’s accomplishments, do you give these feats Equal Time?
I didn’t Think So.
Instead of re-hashing this terrible crime (which can Never be Re-adjudicated), ad nauseum, why don’t you donate to the National Association for Domestic Violence? Now That would make a difference. Because right now, unless you can find an Accomplice, you’re just Making Noise.
@@joiisler3012 OK, so who in your opinion murdered these two innocent people ??? Other than Simpson himself, it could only be Simpson’s clone or identical twin brother, as he must have the same DNA as Simpson, drive his car and smear the exterior and interior of it with his own blood, and the blood of his two victims. Also, he must wear Simpson’s ugly ass Bruno Magli’s shoes, and take off his socks in Simpson’s house with the blood of his victims on them and leave them in Simpson’s house. Just imagine ! All these facts had nothing to do with Simpson himself, and it wasn’t Simpson who beat up his wife on several occasions either ! All this time, everybody thought it was Simpson himself doing all this, when it was in fact either his identical twin, or clone..🤔 It’s time to stop fantasising, and to face the cold facts.. Simpson is a brutal psychopathic murderer.
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.
Such a "brilliant" attorney w/ class.... RIP
No need for “....”
@CINEKYD MEDIA ARCHIVE Please. Ted Bundy was a Murderous, Narcissistic Psychopath.
You may not Like Johnnie Cochran; but to Compare the two?
@CINEKYD MEDIA ARCHIVE If Bundy wasn’t a racist, why didn’t he kill any Women of Color? Sounds pretty biased to me.🙄
Wow did he actually try to lead Johnnie Cochran with some of his questions?
I think he was a brilliant lawyer but I think he flamed the racial issue in this country, making it harder to heal. Plus he is so smart he knew O J did it and I have no idea how he could of lived knowing a killer went free.
Well let's be honest you don't have an idea on most things let alone murder cases from decades ago.
stupidest comment I read today and here we are 20 years later and black and brown men are being slaughtered by cops all over the nation ok Jezuz

Nevermind the racist
You are a sick lying racist. People like you are the reason for the evil white racism, that is ingrained in the fabric of American society
You can't right a wrong with a wrong. These racist blacks have no empathy for a woman and innocent young man who were brutally murdered. This guy played every racial card to get a murderer released. He can go to hell!
I've always wondered would European imagrents like Charlie would be this concerned if Nicole was black?

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 :
that was a great interview 👌👌
By Cochran, but the interviewer sucks badly!
Charlie couldn’t stop saying that O.J. was guilty 😂 I though my interviews were supposed to be unbiased 😅
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
OJ obviously committed the murders, but I don't really understand people who get mad at Johnnie Cochran for defending OJ. That's his job as a defense attorney. That's what he's paid to do. It's the prosecution's fault for not having a stronger case than the defense, and it's the system & judge's fault for not picking a more competent & less biased jury.
The defense attorney's job is to do everything within his/her means to prevent their client from being convicted. That means raising doubt by any means; playing the race card, accuse the evidence of being tainted or sloppy, point out corruption, tap into the jury's emotions to get them on your side, etc.
Oj did not commit these murders
That detective never split the throat of ink ever
Help me out on what u mean
I agree, what does this mean?
Brilliant guy, unfortunately leading to justice not getting served.
I strongly disagree Rip JC 🙏🏿
Don’t care
I love how in every OJ related interview, Charlie repeatedly states he didn't follow the trial. Yet he got nearly every key lawyer on his show, and consistently asks far more incisive questions that similar folks such as Shapiro's mate Larry King. Interesting that Shapiro is noticeable by his absence, which is a shame since he was such a shitty attorney - he deserved to be called to account for his dubious behaviour!
BTW Jeffrey Toobin's book on OJ "The Run of His Life" highlights how disingenuous Bob Shapiro was before, during and after the OJ trial. Shapiro refuses even to be honest about the early legal work he did decades before this trial. Also Toobin's got substantive sources regarding his reporting that Cochrane said openly off-camera many times (before he was engaged by OJ) that this was a difficult case due to the overwhelming evidence pointing toOJ's potential guilt. Cochrane should man up and admit his uninformed., off-the-cuff remarks, rather than his unconvincing denials. I assume CR has first hand evidence of this, from his contacts in the industry. It's not like it's inculpatory evidence for Cochrane to concede he may have offered such opinions, as he clearly didnt have access to all the facts and evidence back then...
ech0rder-Toobin is a racist liar.
echØrder I think Robert knew he was guilty, and was sane. unlike everyone else. who the fuck would have really believed that O.J was gonna walk? I sure as hell didn't. so Robert Shapiro thought the smartest thing to do was take a plea and serve 12 years (6 with good behavior). that would have been a good deal for a double murder.
echØrder but, he obviously was a pussy compared to Johnnie. Johnnie had fucking brass balls man. I'll give him that.
@@echrder3572 why would he deny making the statements after the fact. Nothing he says would diminish what Cochran did in that Court room along with the other outstanding attorneys. In other words there is no point to him lying. He gains or loses nothing.
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.
I really miss Charlie Rose. Unfortunate how he suddenly gone. Great interview style.
Most lawyers are unscrupulous, especially Robert Shapiro
"Hey, OJ, did you bring the marshmallows?" 😈
Exactly. Both black devils now frying 🔥
Marshmallows and charcoal 😂😂😂
johnnie cochran was a genius, period. playing dirty? what we, white people did through out the years?
Being unethical, knowingly getting off a double murderer, is despicable in ANY race and always has been! Just automatically believing his friend, O.J., who claimed to be innocent, is not enough. Please don't lump all whites together nor any other race! That is, in fact, racist!

I did not say "we" and I have no "white guilt."
YES. He was the best I've seen. Next was Melvin Belli.

Okay, so you're ranting against racism and genocide, but spouting notions of it instead, against white people?! (And by the way, part of my white ancestors, the Irish, were victims of genocide by several million from the English in the potato famine.) Why don't you tell your above comment to President Obama, who's mother was white; I'm sure he'd love to hear that one!
Whites are known for being vicious against each other, but here in USa even more cruel towards blacks which is why AMERICA is the anagram: I AM RACE.
