F. Lee Bailey, defense lawyer for the famous and infamous, dies at 87

1. The one case for which I give him great credit was the case which inspired TV's "The Fugitive"

In the 1960s, Bailey, at the time a resident of Rocky River, Ohio, was hired by Sheppard's brother Stephen to help in Sheppard's appeal. In 1966, Bailey successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that Sheppard had been denied due process, winning a re-trial. A not guilty verdict followed.

Years after Sheppard's death, DNA finally exonerated him:

Most of his other cases, not so much.
