I was out of the loop last week, so I just saw at Right We Are that Johnny Cochran has signed onto the defense of the “Sniper Case.” Cochran’s position thus far is that the defendants in the case were, in fact, victims.
Johnny Cochran knows all this, but he banks heavily on being able to mislead a jury into believing that “circumstantial evidence” is the equivalent of bad evidence or no evidence at all.

Cochran moot, because the injunction at issue in the case bars disgruntled former client Ulysses Tory from picketing Cochran’s law firm and from talking about Cochran forever — both activities that could continue in spite of his death.
Cochran's lawyer, Jonathan Cole, portrayed the injunction as Cochran's only possible remedy for years of verbal abuse and attempted extortion by Tory.
But Chemerinsky insisted that Tory had not defamed Cochran, and in any event the injunction was so broadly worded that it endangered freedom of speech in ways that other kinds of injunctions would not match.
