The tragic murder of an 8-year-old witness and his mother last year may pit Connecticut's Attorney General Richard Blumenthal against his highest-profile opponent yet: lawyer Johnnie Cochran. Cochran commenced legal action against the state on behalf of the family of Leroy "B.J." Brown Jr., and Brown's mother, Karen Clarke. Brown was set to testify against a Bridgeport man charged with the murder of Clarke's boyfriend, when, police allege, the man arranged for the killings of Brown and his mother.
