If It Doen't Fit...

Johnnie Cochran, Esq. passed away yesterday. Flamboyant in public, he kept his private life shrouded in secrecy. When some of those secrets became public following a 1978 divorce, they were startling. During that divorce, it came to light that for 10 years Mr. Cochran had secretly maintained a 'second family' which included a son. After that relationship soured, his mistress, Patricia Sikora, sued him for palimony and the case was settled privately in 2004. Los Angeles Times, March 30, 2005
