[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching both the the FX series and ESPN doc, I came away fascinated with Johnnie Cochran.  I didn't know much about his career and personal life outside of the OJ trial.  I hear a biopic is being filmed about him, I'm really looking forward to watching.  [/quote]
I just finished the FX series and I did not care for Johnnie during the trial but I found myself liking him when he wasn't caught up in the trial.

My thoughts...Johnnie wasn't so much interested in defending OJ but as using this as his opportunity to put the racist LAPD on trial. He wanted to change race relations and thought this trial would be his chance to do so.

It also struck me at the end when Darden and Johnnie were talking. Johnnie offered Chris help in coming back to the community and Chris said he never left. [b]Chris then told Johnnie how this trial won't be the one to change race relations. All people would see is they used the race card to get a guilty man off scot free.[/b]

I plan to watch the documentary next.[/quote]

Thing is, they didn't have to play the race card. The actions of the LAPD were all they needed.[/quote]
