Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.
From Johnnie Cochran
I'm a big believer in the fact that life is about preparation, preparation, preparation.
I'm from the South, where if you walk down the street and there's somebody behind you talking with a Southern accent, you can't tell whether it's a black or a white person.
An opening statement is like a guide or a road map. It's a very delicate thing.
Jurors want courtroom lawyers to have some compassion and be nice.
We've got to be judged by how we do in times of crisis.
If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
If it doen't make sense, you should find for the defense.
On January 10, 1963, I was sworn in as a lawyer, so next January 10 I will have practiced law for 40 years, and I've loved every minute of it.
I decided I wanted to be a lawyer when I was 11 years of age.
