I was reviewing this on a blog that I participate in and thought I'd post my entry here as well.

Let us not forget his handling of the Reginald Denny case. He was a one trick pony who could turn any case on the race card.

From the article on the Ebony web site...

Best in the West - attorney Johnnie Cochran

That's exactly why Cochran says he is representing Reginald Denny. The way the U.C.L.A. and Loyola Law School graduate sees it, Denny's case comes down to one thing--racism. "This case is about more than Reginald Denny," says Cochran, whose $40 million civil rights lawsuit on Denny's behalf charges the L.A. police purposely abandoned that the predominantly Black neighborhood of South Central L.A. during the unrest. "This case is about empowerment of people who are perceived to be powerless. There were over 25,000 9-1-1 calls requesting help for Rdginald Denny and all of them went unresponded to. What does that tell you? They would never have done this in an affluent White area."
