[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the way they are handling Marcia Clark - pointing out the ridiculous bullshit she had to deal with, and how sexist things were in the 90s. At least we have social media now to call more things out.

Can you imagine the backlash now if the media or judge commented on a lawyer's outfit and hair like that?

The judge was an utter asshole who didn't deserve to practice law much less be a judge. And at least Johnny Cochrane is dead now. A wife beater who paid off his wife, and I was so livid about his disregard of her childcare situation I wanted to scream. Seriously, F%$& that guy.[/quote]

Apparently that thing with the box of Tampax really happened to her. I honestly don't see how a person could get up and go to work everyday, between the ex-husband, the opposing lawyers, the media... [/quote]

Yep, the tampon thing really happened!  The standing up in court and saying she had to get home to her kids really happened and so did the nude photos and the (nearly) crying in court!  It's unbelievable.  Vanity Fair (i think) is fact-checking every episode and it's pretty darn close to factual every time.[/quote]  Can you briefly say what happened in each of these cases. I'm watching On Demand and am behind but I'm curious about these things.[/quote]

1.  Tampon - Marcia was buying tampons at the grocery store and the male clerk said "going to be a rough week in court for everyone, huh?"
2.  Ex-husband - Marcia said in court that she couldn't stay late one day because she had to get her kids.  She was going through divorce and custody battle with husband over children.  She got flak from Cochran and the Judge but they didn't maker her stay late.  Husband went on TV and gave an interview to say that she had babysitters with the kids and could have stayed late.  
3.  Nude photos - a tabloid published a nude photo of her from a trip she had taken with her first husband (not the one from teh custody battle).  She found out about it during a break in the day of the trial and got back to trial and was nearly in tears.  Apparently, Judge Ito saw her welling up at the table and without saying anything, just recessed the trial until the next day.  She was grateful.
4.  Tabloids constantly commented on her hair, her suits, her appearance.  Radio shows took polls on whether she was a bitch or a babe.

It was all pretty awful for her.
