This is amazing what he is doing for addicts. I am now sober however I did do hard drugs for 5+ years. Lost over 20 friends, as to my close friends 1 is dead, 1 is homeless and one is in prison. Those are the only 3 options you have as an addict and I have seen them first hand. I am now sober 2 years plus some change. Have a good job, Have a family with my girlfriend and future steps son and really got to see what the world has to offer me. I wish I had a man like Robert around when I was 15 and my heart goes out to his loss of his son. On that note I love the videos and inspire now to make a great life for myself and my family and watch these videos everyday! Thank you for the wonderful content Valuetainment!

Zachery Moore bloody well done! My husband had a terrible childhood and took to taking drugs for years. His best friend died in a car accident when they were 17.....and, he just sunk, self medicated, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do. This went on for years, and years. We’re in our 40’s now, and our kids are grown and healthy, and our lives are great. DONT GIVE UP! Easier said than done? I know......but, you write down the upside of drugs, and then write down the downside.....it soon snaps you out of it. Be well, and take good care......👍🏻🌸

[@jodycarrithers6160]

Forget about his work on the O.J. trial...to ME, the most important part of this interview and, it was a surprise to me because I didn't know about it beforehand, was him telling the story of losing his son to drug addiction and the realities that go along with a drug addict's progression and the lies they tell so convincingly to hide it...he was absolutely spot on about ALL OF IT. The lies from the addict, the fact that you can send a loved one to the MOST prestigious and acclaimed 30 day rehab program on down to a government funded 30 day program and nearly every addict WILL relapse on the 31st day. Fact. Sometimes within HOURS of release. I'm sorry for his loss but truly appreciate his brutal honesty about this horrific problem we face in this country, particularly for our youth and our own children. Best part of the interview and the most important part, imo.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Shapiro left out the part on why he was the lead attorney, but then OJ demoted him and put in Cochran. It’s because he was trying to talk OJ into take a plea bargain, OJ said why would I take a plea bargain when I didn’t do it. so that’s when oj brought in Cochran to be the lead attorney.

[@kk3940]

And wouldn’t the world have been a better place had OJ listened to Shapiro. I think most lawyers presented with the overwhelming evidence against their client that was present in this case would suggest a plea. Who could ever predict a trial with such strong evidence would turn into such a 💩 show and end in acquittal??

Love the BrentClub idea. Such a positive organization. I never smoked, did drugs, drank only six months of my life. At age 4 I heard about the principals' son died of a drug overdose, that scared me straight to never get into addictive substances. I wish more people in the world were like this. Saved me for sure from getting in with the bad crowd. I was never less social, without alcohol it forced me, a super shy introvert to be more outgoing. Many people never realize their social potential because they fall back on alcohol or drugs for social relaxation. Now I am more of an extrovert because of it. I feel blessed that I was able to figure this out so early in life.

[@Fuzzybunny-ki1cw]

THis was just awesome. I wish it had more views.

[@Della624]

@32:10 is the most crucial moment in what is just an advert on what a brilliant lawyer shapiro is and his businesses. Just after this time frame he admits he ALWAYS wants to know what actually went down so he can credibly defend his client. What most people forget is that Shapiro was the LEAD Lawyer at the beginning of OJ Simpson's Trial and only later ceded to the PT Barnum of the Case, Johnny Cochran, so given this, Shapiro MUST have known what ACTUALLY went down on the night Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered. Shapiro KNOWS OJ Simpson is Guilty of their Murders; I reckon Robert Kardashian KNEW of OJ Simpson's guilt as well because his face at the end when the verdict was read is one of absolute shock. The "Dream Team" went the Racial Route because any other route would have led to OJ being RIGHTFULLY convicted of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goodman's deaths. No wonder he no longer talks about it - scared he might let slip

[@pjpredhomme7699]

There are several flawed assumptions on your part. The first is - that Shapiro was the lead - and he is the one that started the whole racial component. His investigator had done digging and found out Fuhrman's colorful background . 2nd - he actually hired Johnny Cochran and brought him onto the case. As has been well described - Shapiro was a deal broker - he did not go to court -which is the case 90 something% of the time. So he began "playing the race card " as a way to gain leverage to get his client a better deal. He miscalculated his ability to manage the other people on the "scheme team" and it got away from him. He always knew OJ did it the idea that lawyers represent innocent wrongly accused is feasible but is more for the movies.

Sounds like OJ paid him a lot. Here is a question for you: If you were in OJ's shoes and could get a lawyer for $10,000 with a 60% chance of success or a lawyer for $10,000,000 with an 80% chance of success, who would you choose?

Your example is horrible. 10k for 60% chance or $10M for 80% chance? $10M for 95% chance would actually be a better example. Or $100,000 for 80% chance, not $10M
