[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time has passed and I think this lawyer realized he doesn’t want to be the new Johnnie Cochran, Bob Shapiro, Barry Scheck, Robert Kardashian et al.

They all basically lost their legal reputations and no one refers to them with any reverence today.

This would not be defending an accused “American hero”

This would be taking money to defend someone legitimately accused of murdering a beloved American icon who had never done anyone wrong.

I don’t know this lawyer’s name and he’s fortunate that no one else does, because it would be easy evidence of a total cash grab and he’d lose his entire reputation in the area in which he practices

Better to withdraw and be able to say he withdrew within less than a month after an initial retainer (innocent until proven guilty) and then getting out of that town called Dodge[/quote]

You exhibit a shocking lack of sophistication [/quote]

Not just lack of sophistication, but ignorance of the American criminal law.

Criminal lawyers remember Cochran and Scheck as two of the most skilled lawyers who practiced criminal defense. The notoriety of the Simpson case is only one aspect of their careers. Lay people may think poorly of them because of the Simpson case, but they performed brilliantly and anyone who needed a defense attorney wouldn’t have hesitated to hire them if they had the funds. F Lee Bailey didn’t get a mention but he was also a legendary defense attorney - his book The Defense Never Rests is fascinating and still required reading for budding defense attorneys.

Barry Scheck is nearly single handedly responsible for the rise of the innocence projects in the USA, which has since expanded to many states/jurisdictions establishing conviction review units in prosecution offices as well. We have seen hundreds of people exonerated after wrongful conviction because of the work Scheck was instrumental in establishing in this country. His book Actual Innocence is also must read for budding criminal attorneys and any American concerned with the state of the American criminal justice system.

Yeah poster who claims nobody reveres these attorneys today is obviously not a lawyer and not in any way tapped into the criminal legal system in America. Kardashian wasn’t a criminal lawyer he was on the team because he was a close friend of OJ’s, no idea what area he practiced in and now of course he’s mostly known for fathering those idiot plastic women and their navel gazing family industry. Bob Shapiro don’t know much about he’s certainly not as well known as Cochran and especially Scheck and Bailey.[/quote]
