This threw me off how did it happen? She probably made tons more money, but a sad commentary on society that we value (pay) a gossip show reporter more than a public prosecutor.

A lot of the people involved had to do other things that were profitable I am sure... not to mention, with all of the attention this case got, it would be difficult to practice her chosen profession. I think Marcia and many others needed to "unplug" from that limelight.

The late, great Johnny Cockring played the L.A. D.A. like a fiddle.

Marcia Clarke was a marginally talented D.A. who was more interested in theatrics and optics rather than a clear-cut prosecution
