He certainly was a scumbag when it came to pursuing critics on behalf of the CoS.

He may have furthered the cult's aims and helped DM with his plotting and planning for planetary domination but he was also a human being, flawed just like the rest of us.

He was no different from many in his profession in his activities, just more successful.

RIP Earl - hope the next life brings you to a better choice of profession and clientele.

Favorite quote:

When asked whether he was a Scientologist, “I have taken the position that I’m not going to answer that question at any time because I’ve come to view it as a vicious question that one would not ask of anyone else’’

Really? No one ever asks anyone else if they are a Christian, a Catholic, etc? I hear people from Salt Lake City get asked if they are Mormons all the time...

When RVY anounced he had cancer, Mike Rinder reportedly laughed in his face. I thought it was incredibly cold and heartless. Similarly, I can't laugh at Cooley's misfortune. RIP.

Earle C. Cooley

As scientology's henchman, this quote from his lawfirm's site speaks for itself.

"He was a legend. He was in real life what all trial lawyers fantasize they will someday be." Harry L. Manion III

Yes, the fantasy to become an unconscionable greedy human being.

And lookee here: Someone says he's the "Greatest advocate of our time".....????? Maybe for advocating totalitarian tactics but..... this is the real Earl Cooley:
Earle Cooley is chairman of BU's board of trustees. He's also made a career out of keeping L. Ron Hubbard's secrets.

I see the whole area of jurisprudence often wanting.

It's core deals with law, and that law is so often manufactured to establish and maintain power over. Thus it is mostly an adversarial proposition and therefore the main criteria is argument and presented 'evidence'. It is this component, the intent to win, which can subvert or hide the facts. In such cases true JUSTICE does not prevail.

Case in point is the concept that the Criminal Defense actions of Cooley in arguing on behalf of his "drug dealer" when he certainly knew his client did in fact deal in drugs. I am not arguing that the law is correct in the first place, just that the facts got hidden because winning was more important in this system than revealing of fact.

This contributes to a culture manipulated by suppression of the truth and away lacking in truth and integrity.

I find it despicable, that Cooley participated in abetting the anti-justice and in human actions of the CoS and also find his ethics wanting.

What good does it do me to Hate the man, so I take the stance that 'forgive him for he truly knows not what he does' or if he did, then...

I wish that I had been there to help him listen to his heart.

O please!

Be careful what you wish for.

Don't use your wishes on a junkyard dog of a lawyer. Cooley was as far in the muck as any bottomfeeded such as he could get.

Bye Bye

Few assignments drew as much ire as his work for the Church of Scientology, where he was a top lawyer and handled arrangements for L. Ron Hubbard to be cremated after the Scientology founder died in 1986.

He has dropped the body because it had become an impediment. He is now free of it's restraints, and will be continuing to develop his legal skills amongst the stars. Hip. Hip. Smilla. :coolwink:
