Episode 6, For the Defense: F. Lee Bailey for Sam Sheppard

 I'm really excited about this week's podcast episode of For the Defense. You'll hear legendary criminal defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey discuss his representation of Sam Sheppard (which includes going all the way to the Supreme Court and then for a new trial).  At the time, there was no bigger case in the history of American criminal law -- it even inspired the TV show and movie, The Fugitive. These pictures show a young Bailey with Sheppard, and of course the picture at the bottom of this post is Bailey with O.J. Simpson and Johnnie Cochran as the verdict was read. You can catch this episode and all episodes on our podcast website here. The Apple platform is available here, and all other platforms can be accessed here.


This is the finale of Season 1 of the podcast. I have really enjoyed doing the interviews and speaking to such great lawyers.  I've also enjoyed hearing from so many of you about your own trial experiences and other take-aways from the interviews.

Season 2 is already in the works and we plan on launching sometime in mid-January with the premiere episode with Alan Dershowitz.  We will also have a bonus/holiday episode with Hank Asbill discussing the fascinating trial and appeal involving Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell that will likely air on December 22.  I need your help to continue the momentum of the podcast, so please subscribe and leave comments!


If you're new to the podcast, you can learn more from this CourtTV spot about it. If you or a friend would like to receive email updates, please sign up here.

Thank you again for your continued support! --David

At some point you’ll probably going to bring one of these lawyers to interview you.

Better watch out with Alan. Interview him and the cancel culture nut jobs will send a posse out to get you. You will end up in the WPP working at a 7-11 in southern Wyoming

What is Judge Sullivan next going to do to f with Michael Flynn. Just never rule in the multiple motion to dismiss? Set another briefing schedule? Im trying to guess but the guy is creative

Just deny it as moot....why rule on it now? Could also still go after the US attorneys who pursued the motion to dismiss for filing false and misleading pleadings...you know, what a judge should do when people come in and bullshit the court. Also, could go after his lawyer for her statements to the court which were questionable (at best)....told Truml not to pardon him, etc...many different ways. But I think denying the motion to dismiss as moot is the right call.
