Originally posted by Turnbull: Y'know, DC, Cutler used to be a prosecutor before he became the Mob's favorite lawyer--and in this case, the defender of crooked cops. Not unusual at all for former prosecutors to turn to defending criminals: the experience is essential. Cutler's good at making colorful statements that newspapers print. But if I were a big-time crook, I'd have gotten Johnnie Cochran before he passed away, or Barry Slotnick now.
Well according to several lawyer friends that I know, becoming a defense lawyer is where the real money is.
Funny that you should say that about Cochran. After the O.J. trial, my wife was livid and was disgusted with Cochran. I remember saying to her " I'll tell you what, if I ever got into any legal trouble I'd hire Cochran in a second!"
While one may not have agreed with his courtroom tactics and antics, the bottom line is that he got the job that he was paid to do, done.
