More Than 4, Attend Service for Johnnie Cochran

By DAVID WATSON, Staff Writer

A star-studded crowd of more than 4, gathered at a South-Central Los Angeles church yesterday to mourn and honor celebrated Los Angeles civil rights and criminal defense lawyer Johnnie L.

Cochran Jr., who died March 29 at age 67 after a battle with brain cancer.

The huge West Angeles Cathedral on Crenshaw Boulevard, which officials said seats 5,, was already about one-third filled an hour before the funeral service was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

About a dozen elected officials and more than 50 lawyers from The Cochran Firm eventually joined the crowd, as did some 20 ministers, dozens of former clients, and about 40 members of Kappa Alpha Psi, the black fraternity of which Cochran was a member as a UCLA undergraduate.

Former clients Michael Jackson and O.J.

Simpson attended and were introduced, tho
