wikipedia fails again

I needed to look up Darden's bibliography, NOT HERE. What the actual fuck. Wikipedia is getting more and more useless every day. Google told me more in a few seconds than this page. Thanks for nothing. 98.180.43.21 (talk) 12:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

Can someone include info on Darden's prior history with prosecuting corrupt cops, and also his post-O.J. acting career?

The line "Seemingly overwhelmed by the defense team, and often fumbling objections and the introduction of evidence, Darden may have been intimidated by Johnnie Cochran, a significant figure in the African-American community." clearly shows a non-impartial view of Darden's work, introduces unsupported conjecture and even appears to take a pot shot at a dead man. I am standing by my removal of it.

Hey untitled, perhaps you're unaware of what's been written about Cochran, including by his ex-wife? Cochran was diagnosed by a psychiatric professional with narcissistic personality disorder. He was the overachiever type. He had an enormous amount of influence within that community and outside of it. Cochran intimidated a lot of people, including some of those most close to him. So maybe you shouldn't pontificate on a subject you're clearly ignorant on. We're not talking about Thurgood Marshall or Learned Hand here, but someone who did a lot of good but also could be extremely selfish and short-sighted because of his need to dominate and win. 98.180.43.21 (talk) 12:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interview, details of being fired during paid vacation post-OJ trial

http://www.thewrap.com/oj-simpson-chris-darden-fired/

He appears to have elaborated on his departure from the DA's office. As he notes a few times in the full interview, he is at an age where he doesn't mind stating some things that he hasn't before. 104.186.132.216 (talk) 19:59, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article was written by someone with extreme bias

I tried to clean up some of the biased language, ie "He was unemployed for 4 months" when there is no indication that Darden was seeking work in that time frame as many law students take a break between the bar and starting to work. What we do know for sure is when he started to work. Anything more than that is speculation. Also this article needs a section specifically for the OJ Simpson trial and a section for Darden post OJ. A reminder to everyone that we state hard facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8806:400:CFF0:D8E5:F8ED:7920:C440 (talk) 02:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
