The lawyer for JonBenet Ramsey's brother laid out exactly why he plans to sue the crap out of CBS for airing "experts" who concluded Burke Ramsey killed his little sister.

Burke's lawyer, L. Lin Wood, came on "TMZ Live" and accused CBS of using "phony experts" on its documentary ... just so it could profit off the impending 20 year anniversary of JonBenet's unsolved murder.

Wood explained why he believe the evidence completely refutes the findings of "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey." As we reported ... Wood intends to sue CBS for defamation.

D.L. Hughley is demanding the Tulsa cop who shot and killed Terence Crutcher suffer serious consequences -- and he wants opponents of Colin Kaepernick to speak up about it too.

D.L. came on "TMZ Live" to call out celebs whose priorities are out of whack ... in his eyes. He had some harsh words for people who don't see injustice in what happened to Crutcher.

Check out the clip -- Hughley's sticking to his guns, insisting certain famous faces are way too silent right now, and need to check themselves.

Johnnie Cochran's protege, Carl Douglas, has sympathy for his former O.J. Simpson trial opponent, Marcia Clark ... but only up to a point.

Carl came on "TMZ Live" to talk about 'The People v. O.J. Simpson' cleaning up at the Emmys. Marcia was there with Sarah Paulson, who played her and ended up winning a trophy. Sarah made a special shout-out/apology to Marcia during her acceptance speech.

You gotta hear Carl's take on Marcia getting hammered by the public in the wake of the trial.

Fair to say, he enjoyed Marcia's moment in the spotlight more than he did Jimmy Kimmel's crack about Cochran being in hell.

Diddy nailed it when he challenged the black community to demand more from Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump ... and Sway seconds that motion.

The BET, VH1 and SiriusXM host (in your face, Seacrest) joined us on "TMZ Live" to break down Diddy's call for a sort of boycott. There's some debate about whether Puff meant don't vote at all ... or just hold the candidates' feet to the fire before you do vote.

We got into it with Sway, who added -- regardless of race -- it's hard to believe ANY politician.

Ryan Lochte got what he deserved when the USOC suspended him and banned him from U.S Swimming's National Championships, but there's still an upside ... according to swimming great Rowdy Gaines.

Rowdy -- a 3-time gold medalist who knows Lochte -- came on "TMZ Live" and pulled no punches, telling us Ryan's lie in Rio was a huge mistake that forced the USOC to drop the stiff 10 month suspension.

He also thinks Ryan will have plenty of time to stage a comeback, and Michael Phelps is a perfect example of that -- since he was also banned from the National swim meet after his DUIs.
