Johnnie Cochran

Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. (born 1937) is an American attorney best known for his role in the "dream team" of legal defense for O. J. Simpson during his highly-publicized murder trial. Cochran is also known as an attorney in the defense of Sean P. Diddy Combs. He was born at Charity Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. His parents were Johnnie L. Cochran, Sr., the son of Alonzo Cochran, and the late Hattie Bass Cochran (she died in 1991), the daughter of Eugene Bass. He was raised in Los Angeles, California. He attended UCLA.

During closing arguments in the O.J. Simpson trial, he uttered the now famous enthymeme, "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit."
