U.S. Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhardt decries "the serious erosion in the way America views two of its most respected and essential institutions -- the bench and the bar."  He cites the political pressure placed on Judge Baer to reverse his ruling in a search and seizure drug case as an example of the "inexcusable attacks on the independence of the judiciary by our political leaders." 

Judge Reinhardt also blasts Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden for trying to profit from the O.J. Simpson trial after botching the case with "some of the most bizarre trial tactics employed in the history of American jurisprudence."  Here is the June 4, 1996, speech that he delivered before the Beverly Hills Bar Association.
