Well, with Cochran we definitely won't know, but it's hard to believe him and the rest of his defense really thought he was innocent. They were top attorney's who saw and heard it all. And, they did beat the krap out of one of the worst prosecution teams in California history. They all got a (bigger) shot of fame and of course most of OJ's money.
That trial was a farce with even Ito loving all the prime time attention he was getting. Got too say though, I miss the judge Ito dancers from the Tonight show.
