I know the criminal guys got all of the attention on OJ, which is part of the reason I am focusing here on the civil lawyer, Dan Petrocelli; the one who sued OJ for Wrongful Death and won. But the main reason to focus on him is that his approach to this case...
Dan Petrocelli. What a guy! Moreover, what a lawyer! This guy demonstrates everything that is good about lawyers and lawyering. Which is great, because decent lawyers were few and far between around the O.J. Simpson cases. As discussed previously, the O.J. trials had...
As we shall see, the O.J. Simpson criminal murder trial turned out to be a complete circus. From the “Dancing Ito’s” on Jay Leno to the wall-to-wall coverage of the ten million defense attorneys, all vying for attention in front of the cameras. It was a joke. But the...
I know. Crazy title. Don’t worry, I’ll get to it. The O.J. Simpson case(s) have had a huge impact on American society, particularly the legal system, and on me personally, over the past two decades. Most recently, A&E aired an excellent piece about his cases, the...

I know, right? It’s a take on an old lawyer joke. That oughtta attract some troll traffic. But I just can’t help it. All of the online negativity in general, and that directed at lawyers specifically, is beginning to get to me. I’ll have more on the general negativity...
I’ve had it. For some reason that video, the one with idiot cops screaming about blowing a hole in the poor guy’s head, got to me. No, the victim wasn’t black. And no, he was not actually shot and killed. But maybe that’s the issue. There was nothing else going on...
