Christopher Darden

Christopher Allen Darden (born April 7, 1956) is an American lawyer, author, actor, and lecturer. He is a 15-year veteran of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, where he was a co-prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, a role in which he gained a great deal of national attention. He left the District Attorney's office after the Simpson case and joined the faculty of the Southwestern University School of Law, where he taught and specialized in criminal procedure and trial advocacy. He then left the law school in 1999 and started his own firm, Darden & Associates, Inc., specializing in criminal defense and civil litigation. In December 2007, he was considered for a judgeship by then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a former legal commentator for CNBC, CNN, Court TV, and NBC, and a frequent guest and commentator on CNN, Court TV, and Fox News Network. He has made guest appearances on Touched by an Angel, Girlfriends, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Howard Stern Show, Muppets Tonight, Roseanne, the movie Liar Liar, and the TV movie One Hot Summer Night (in which he plays a disgruntled policeman). He is the former principal attorney in the syndicated legal show Power of Attorney. He is also an author. In addition to In Contempt, which chronicles his experiences with the Simpson trial, he co-authored (with Dick Lochte) a number of crime novels, including The Trials of Nikki Hill (1999), LA Justice (2000), and The Last Defense (2002). ​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
