Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That’s not gonna go far
300k+ to work one of the most famous cases in the nation? You bet your ass lawyers are looking at that. No matter the outcome you’re a legend. You can’t buy that kind of PR/marketing.
Even if they don’t, they’re legends!
Nah totally depends on the defense they mount and what the final verdict is.
Enough money that it's a legitimate job on its own really helps. 300k is a reasonable number for that.
Yeah, it might be low, but it's not high.
Anyone know if Johnny Cochrane is still working?
It's a shame he even needs the money since it's so obvious he's innocent.
He was chilling with me, hanging by the sea, in a country with no extradition treaty.
I'm sparticus!
Obviously! He was hanging out with me we were exploring this spooky house.
Innocence is insufficient in our society
I don't think 300 million would even be enough. They want to make an example of him.
They're not self aware enough to realize they're going to make a martyr out of him
How do you figure? The US has handled a lot of notorious cases, and most of them get quietly forgotten in prison.
How many of them were a rich white dude? That's the difference.
Ahem....I would like to add that he's hot too...
It could have gone far towards doing some actual good, instead of donated to an ivy league kid's murder defence fund.
