Lawyers Have Birthdays Too

In honor of ten years since the O.J. Simpson fiasco, I thought it would be good to call out someone associated with that mess. So, Happy Birthday F. Lee Bailey! The famed attorney turns 71 today. One of Bailey's early famous cases was, of course, the Dr. Sam Sheppard trial, which was fictionalized into "The Fugitive." Where the Sheppard murder took place is probably not even 5 miles away from where I live and grew up, so it's always kind of interested me. The 50th anniversary of that spectacle is coming up in a few weeks, too. That link provides an excellent overview of the Sam & Marilyn Sheppard story.
