Under the cats, mostly.
ok that's kinda funny - I always like Spike Milligan's little epitaph. It's carved in Gaelic and translates into "I told you I was ill!"

It was a big mess here in the states. Famous football guy on trial for killing his wife and another man. ALL evidence pointed towards him but Jhonny Coccran (his lawyer) did his job well and proved to us all that famous people can.... get away with murder.

Johnny Cochran is the defence attorney who got him off, even though most of America believed and still do believe he was guilty and got away with murder. One of Johnny Cochrans most famous lines from the trial occured when he had O.J. Simpson try on a glove that was supposed to be glove warn by the murderer. O.J. acted like he couldn't get the glove on, and so, Johnny Cochrane said, "If it doesn't fit, you MUST aquit".

There was media from all over the world covering the famous OJ Simpson trial, but you probably are too young to remember any of this. You were probably only about 3 or 4 years old when this happened.
