By RIDIN’ HIGH Daily Planet Slave
The truth is out about O.J. Apparently, he did do it. It was discovered just yesterday that charismatic Los Angeles attorney Johnnie Cocky left a diary page open on his nightstand. On a small corner of a page, there were phrases such as “If the glove fits, he sits” and “If you convict, I’ll sleep at night.” Upon further examination, those phrases apparently were alternatives to Cocky’s chosen courtroom slogan, “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”
Cocky used the diary to write his secret feelings of the drama that unfolded in what’s been dubbed the “trial of the century.”
When he died this week, his personal effects were gathered and shared with the public, which was at his request — but the idea came from City Councilman Bobby Coniver. The diary had “O.J. did it” scribbled inside.
Cocky, who died of a brain tumor on Tuesday, defended O.J. Samsung in the ’90s, a retired football player accused of the murder of his wife.
Samsung was legally vindicated, although discovery of the diary may re-open a case authorities once considered settled.
Cocky also disclosed secrets he evidently wanted to share with the public, such as his gold suit was his favorite — and he preferred chicken over steak.
Samsung had no comment about the diary, except to say he shot a 74 at the Breakers in Palm Beach the other day.
