LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran, perhaps best known for his defense of O.J. Simpson, died Tuesday afternoon after suffering from an inoperable brain tumor, his family said. He was 67.
This I did not know:
He passed the California bar in 1963, then took a job in Los Angeles as a deputy city attorney in the criminal division.His career was intertwined with celebrities almost from its beginning: Among his early cases was a 1964 effort to prosecute comedian Lenny Bruce on obscenity charges.
If he does not stir, you must inter.
R.I.P., Johnnie.
