David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
Johnnie Cochran, even more than OJ Simpson himself, was the public face of the 1990s version of the trial of the century. That trial, epic in its excesses and never since matched, sparked a whole new media genre and we now regularly see reporters camped out beside courthouses in California and New York and have come to expect to daily updates on the current celebrity trial. It is somewhat fitting that he should pass in the midst of the current trial of the century, the Michael Jackson trial. Then again, since OJ, when have we not been in the middle of a trial of the century?
