Robert Shapiro

Robert Shapiro, the American lawyer best known for successfully defended O.J Simpson in his high-profile murder trial, spotted leaving Mastros steakhouse in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Wearing a smart dinner jacket, Shapiro stopped to chat with photographers and reporters.

The 58-year-old spoke briefly about the recent Casey Anthony trial, in which a jury found the mother from Florida not guilty of killing her daughter. Shapiro said, "It's a very, very difficult case - I think the jury did the best they could with the evidence they had", adding, "There's two cases going on - there's the case in public opinion and the case in the court"
