O. J. needs to be more careful in the future. It's hard to feel bad about a lawyer passing away.

Cochran's Clients Gather for L.A. Funeral

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Johnnie Cochran Jr.'s most celebrated clients, O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson, joined civil rights figures and Hollywood stars at the lawyer's funeral Wednesday, remembering Cochran's cunning legal skills and his commitment to the people he represented.

....

Also among mourners were actress Angela Bassett, Reps. Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel, and federal Judge Consuelo Marshall, who went to high school with Cochran.

Cochran's other high-profile clients included Sean ``P. Diddy'' Combs, football great Jim Brown, actor Todd Bridges, and rappers Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.

Combs recounted begging Cochran for help after his arrest in 1999 on charges stemming from a Manhattan nightclub shooting. He was later acquitted.

``Because of him I get to see my kids, I get to see my mother and I get to make music and be here with you all today,'' Combs said.

In 1997, Cochran won freedom for Elmer ``Geronimo'' Pratt, a former Black Panther who spent 27 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. The attorney called the moment ``the happiest day of my life practicing law.''
