Morning Docket: 02.04.16
* Although he’s only seen commercials for the show, O.J. Simpson is none too pleased with the way The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story portrayed his lawyer, Johnnie Cochran. The Juice thinks Cochran is being “unfairly depicted as ruthless and overly ambitious.” [Washington Post]
* A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby can move forward and include the comedian’s 2005 deposition testimony, despite the fact that he only sat for that deposition because he was promised by a district attorney that he wouldn’t be prosecuted. [CNN]
* While Dentons may have been written off dismissively about two years ago, since then, the Biglaw firm has “grown faster than any law firm ever,” and now people are starting to wonder whether the megafirm will be able to live up to all of the hype. [Legal Business]
* Perhaps we need to start a Blue Ghetto series for our male readers? A former editorial director at Yahoo! has filed a wrongful termination suit against the company, with claims that he was discriminated against by his superiors because he was a man. [Fox News]
* Under the guidance of his new lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, Martin Shkreli has adopted an intelligent new legal strategy: shutting his incredibly punchable mouth before it gets him into even more trouble. Let’s see how long this lasts. [DealBook / New York Times]
