**  Quotes  :

** Johnny Cochran  -- Senior O.J. Analyst against racism 
                                 -- assisted by Carl Douglas and Shawn Chapman

**  Esoteric  --  intended for  or  likely to be understood by only a small number of
                           people with a specialized  knowledge or interest.

**  Media  ---  Hardworking folks who try to profit from other people's unfortunate tragedy

**  Racism  --  "  A darker black man is more dangerous than a black man, darker is guiltier,
                            blacker is badder. "
                    --  "  LAPD has a systemic racial problem, racial insensitivities

**  Max Fullerman  --  Detective assigned to the case, discovered everything, and
                                     an admitted racist

**  Gil Garcetti  -- The District Attorney assigned Marcia Clark to be prosecutor
                                                                  assisted by Christopher Darden

**  "  Don't refer to the Blacks as "these people"  or "you people"

**  "  His remarks are deeply demeaning to African- Americans.  It is preposterous to say
          that African- Americans collectively are so emotionally unstable that they cannot hear
          offensive words without losing their moral sense of right or wrong.  They live with
          offensive words, offensive looks, offensive treatment everyday. "

**  "  Injustice anywhere is a threat everywhere. "  --  Martin Luther King, Jr.

**  "  Today we make the jury think the cops lie about little things.  So tomorrow we could
          make the jury think that the cops also lie about big things. "

**  Cynical  --  believing that people are motivated by self-interest,
                          distrustful of human integrity.
