O. J. Simpson
1996 Profile in Cowardice
|
O. J. Simpson was the first "Profile in Cowardice," in 1996,
who had that very year trademarked the term "Justice for All," the name of a national victims-rights organization founded
years earlier by Houston resident Pamela Lychner. Simpson never printed "Justice for All" on T-shirts or other merchandise
as planned. Pamela Lychner perished along with her two little girls onboard TWA flight 800 in July, 1996.
John & Patsy Ramsey were awarded the Cowardice Award in 1997 for not having the courage to co-operate with the authorities
investigating the murder of their daughter.

David Cash
1998 Profile in Cowardice
|
David Cash stood by and did nothing as his friend Jeremy Strohmeyer
raped and murdered 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson inside the women's restroom of a Nevada Casino while Sherrice's father gambled
away outside. Cash was unapolagetic and sought out the Media for his "15 minutes of Fame.' Incredibly, Cash was
never charged as an accessory to murder in this case. The actions - and inactions
- of John & Patsy Ramsey still appeared troubling to many Americans in 1999, when, once again the Ramsey's were 'Dis-Honored'
with the "Profile in Cowardice" Award.
