Johnnie Cochran I suppose believed that too.

All the OJ team knew their client was guilty. Defending an innocent man is a bit of a luxury and a rarity for trial lawyers, and it’s acceptable that good lawyers defend bad men who are guilty.

What is not acceptable is that they do it by playing the race card. And what is criminal is that they do it by forging evidence against the lone possible holdout juror, to get her off the case so the fix is totally in.

When the judge is in on this and a party to deeming legit a forgery that was pretty transparent, the whole thing becomes reprehensible. A pox on the memory of Johnny Cochran and the rest of that team, with the slightly honorable exception of Alan Dershowitz, who has had the grace to admit that their conduct was nothing to be proud of.
