Summary: What A Waste of Paper!
Review: The only thing this clown is famous for is busting out with a clever rhyme that convinced 12 of the dumbest people in the world to 'acquit' a known killer. Don't waste your time with this book. There are plenty of Mother Goose books out there if your pursuing fairy tales and nursery rhymes. If you enjoy this book, you'll also love the unabombers manifesto. He too, was on a journey for justice. jrobertson30@yahoo.com

Summary: Narcissism unleashed !
Review: The story at the beginning is an interesting tale of how a poor black share - cropping family from Louisiana persevered to produce a sharp young lawyer who was not afraid to take on the establishment, particularly the corrupt LAPD. Unfortunately, after the midway point the story and perhaps his life, deteriorates into a name -dropping, globe - hopping social whirl which I imagine should do little to endear him to the poor, suffering fellow African - Americans that he purports to agressively defend. One of those poor downtrodden people of course being O. J. Simpson.

Summary: YOU "GO" BOY!
Review: This is a man of integrity -- a high caliber person and attorney! I can't imagine this man putting his heart and efforts behind someone who "he" believes is "guilty" -- it's not in his character to do so! I believe he did what he had to do and DID IT WELL! He's a hero and role model for all upcoming Black attorneys. "If you're gonna do it -- DO IT RIGHT!"

Summary: read the ex-wife's book, too.
Review: This was the book that started me off on OJ-iana. The guy is slick! It compelled me to compare his version of "facts" against everyone else's. And, more than Chris's book, or Marcia's book, or Bugliosi's book, or the "friend's" dad's book, what I remember is the ex-wife's book. I thought she did a great job with what seemed to be a tawdry premise. Her modest little book ought to be sold as a companion volume to Johnnie's vanity printing.

Summary: An excellent book about an excellent black trial lawyer
Review: Vilified and maligned since the shocking O.J. verdict, the high profile lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, Jr., member of the famed :"Dream Team" sets the record straight in his new book, Journey to Justice, co-authored with Tim Rutten. In this book, we learn a lot about Johnnie Cochran the man, his passion and committment. We learn more about his deep family ties, religious conviction, and sense of justice, which led him to take such high profile cases, from Leonard Deadwyler, a black motorist stopped for speeding to the hospital with his pregnant, then shot dead, to the black football star Ron Settles, who was murdered by the police in an apparent attempt to make his death look like a suicide. Those looking for a lot of details on the O.J case would be well advised to steer clear of this book, but those who want to learn more about the life of one of the finest trial lawyers in America will not be disappointed
