Defense attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. puts on a pair of gloves in this Sept. 27, 1995 file photo, at the Los Angeles Criminal Courts Building, to remind the jury in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial that the gloves Simpson tried on did not fit him. “Remember these words,” Cochran said. “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., the dynamic, eminently quotable attorney whose televised murder defense of O.J. Simpson made him a legal superstar died Tuesday. He was 67.
