We need a "Deaths" subcategory.

So this lines up Falwell and Schiavo as the other two to go

I, being one, am not concerned.

67!? That seems kind of young to me. Anybody know anything about the brain tumor?

Scott or Rob Niedermayer?

RIP. I met Johnny Cochran on a couple of occasions and he really did seem like a great guy. He was very helpful and down to earth when I asked him questions. And he was really reflective and eloquent when others were grilling him on the OJ thing.

may i suggest I LOVE DEATH?

I actually had no idea Johnny Cochran was that old! I thought he was in his 50s...wow. I also had no idea he was ill at all.

Dom OTM.

Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense. Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, ‘what does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense! I am not making sense!

I never paid heed to the OJ trial. For one thing, talk about 2 victims the Earth is well rid of...

It's because he's a vampire.

Admittedly, it was a Nietzschean post. Starfuckers and yuppie waiters just aren't among my favorite ppl.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I first heard about his condition approximately a year ago, give or take a month. I think he was battling with it initially at the time, so it was pretty vicious.

I bet it'll take a few months of intensive arguments, but I think Johnny will be able to argue his way into heaven.

this interview with him on fresh air is fascinating (archival, natch).

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i liked him as a popular rap reference, at least.

I've never understood why, of all the people involved in the OJ case (besides OJ, I mean), Johnny Cochran seemeed to draw the most criticism. What did he do that was so bad? He was OJ's criminal defense lawyer. What should he have done, tried to get OJ to admit he did it? How is it that he is more of a bad guy that Mark Fuhrman or Marcia Clark, both of whom royally fucked the state's case? I'm not saying anyone on this thread said that, I have always just thought it's kind of a shame.

In fairness to JC, he defended the nonfamous as well.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 March 2005 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

they had it coming, for sure. Can't believe they even tried to find the guy who did it.

He was a black lawyer who won a seemingly unwinnable case in America.

― The Ghost of Dan X (Dan Perry), Thursday, 31 March 2005 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

and he pwned Marcia Clark.

I wish I could find something on-line to the same effect, but a lawyer I heard on NPR who had served with Cochran and was close friends with him said that Cochran actually regretted taking the OJ case, because even though it brought him money and fame, it meant that he was forever associated with that case, and not with all of the civil rights work he had done and hoped to do in the future. According to this lawyer, Cochran was really interested in social change, and had hoped to move into politics or some position where he could have a greater effect. The OJ case meant that he could not do that.

Ah, bb humor standards. Schiavo face on album covers fine, jokes about Most Overexposed Trial Ever verboten.
