F. Lee Bailey: An appreciation

Last week I was supposed to sit down for an interview with F Lee Bailey that would have aired on this program. As most of you probably know, Bailey died on June 3. He was 87.

For many lawyers like myself, Bailey was the one you wanted to emulate – or, if you were charged with a crime, the one you wanted to hire. Francis Lee Bailey gained that reputation by winning trials, beginning with the case of Sam Sheppard, the Ohio doctor who became the inspiration for the TV series and movie, "The Fugitive."
