Howard Weitzman, an influential and wildly successful attorney who represented some of the biggest names in Hollywood has died.
He died this week in Pacific Palisades, CA after battling cancer ... according to his family.
Howard spent over 50 years repping celebs, including O.J. Simpson, John DeLorean, Michael Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Magic Johnson, Marlon Brando, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sugar Ray Leonard, Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osbourne, Diddy, Ivan Reitman, Ron Meyer and countless others.
He represented Michael Jackson's Estate from the get-go, and also repped the singer in the civil lawsuit brought by Jordan Chandler.
Howard famously repped O.J. Simpson in the murder case, but only for a day. The video above was shot when Weitzman and Simpson left LAPD headquarters after O.J. was interviewed the day after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Howard quit the case the next day ... the story goes his wife, Margaret, urged him to withdraw.
"Urged" is the kind word. I have it on good authority that she told him if he stayed on the case, she would divorce him. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I know several high powered entertainment industry lawyers for whom the choice would not have been clear cut. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |
