Robert Shapiro's Son Dies at L.A. Hospital

LOS ANGELES - The 24-year-old son of O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro died at a hospital after being found unconscious, and the coroner's office said he had tested positive for amphetamines.
Brent Shapiro, a University of Southern California graduate who had just enrolled in law school, died Monday. He had been found unconscious the morning before.

Officials at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Hospital told the coroner's office that Shapiro had tested positive for the drug, said Lt. David Smith, a coroner's office spokesman. "It's being considered an accidental death," he said.

An official ruling on cause of death will be made after toxicology results come back in eight to 10 weeks, Smith said.

Robert Shapiro and his office declined to comment. He was a key member of the "dream team" that successfully defended Simpson against charges that he murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it seems the defenders of OJ have suffered slightly above normal averages as a result of their defending a guilty man, allowing him to go free. We all know that karma will and does bite you in the ass, and I'm hoping that people begin to see the reality behind such behavior.
