Christopher Darden

Christopher Darden will always be remembered through the lens of the O. J. Simpson trial, but I find the man behind that spotlight far more compelling. To stand at the center of the most scrutinized courtroom in modern history, prosecuting under the gaze of the entire world, demands a kind of nerve most of us never test. Fifteen years in the district attorney's office made him a true veteran of the trenches. What I admire most is that win or lose, he carried conviction into that arena, and later turned his experience into writing and teaching. A weighty, fascinating life.
