O.J.’s last defender — F. Lee Bailey — is broke, disbarred and working above a hair salon
The Washington Post ^ | 20 July 2017 | Michael S. Rosenwald

Johnnie Cochran is dead.

Marcia Clark writes murder mysteries.

Judge Lance Ito is retired.

Kato Kaelin tweets a lot.

And F. Lee Bailey, the famed criminal defense attorney, is flat broke.

On Thursday, O.J. Simpson — the NFL icon who brought them together more than two decades ago — was granted parole from his prison sentence for a Nevada robbery conviction, asserting during a highly anticipated hearing that “I’m not a guy who has lived a criminal life.”

But of all the characters who played a role in Simpson’s unforgettable acquittal for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, no one’s life has changed as dramatically as Bailey’s.

By changed, we mean cratered.

I agree.
I don’t know why the media is playing him up so much.

I don’t care about OJ, but the Rodney King riots and the OJ trial really changed how the Left decided to approach race politics in America.

I maintain that from about 1964 to about 1990, race relations in this country got better and better. Not perfect, of course, but it really became less of an issue. For a lot of us, people were people.

But then it all changed. All the damn whites were racists. All the blacks were owed a lot. Reparations, man. Ghetto culture was vastly superior to western civilization. Expecting decent behavior just meant that you were a Hater.

The OJ trial was mishandled and it has cost this country greatly.

Can’t even read it because the Wash compost wants me to subscribe before I can. I guess Jeff Bozos feels he doesn’t have enough money.

The Clintons came along and a new form of Democrap politics were introduced, mainly everything is the fault of white Republicans and leftists are not responsible for anything. The latest example being Hillary sitting on her fat cankle supported arse during her entire campaign in the mistaken belief she would easily win, and when she lost, did she take responsibility? Of course not! It’s all the fault of the Russians, sexism, Comey, the media, all except Hillary herself.

It is interesting that the rise of rap occurred at the same time.

Everyone who was involved in that case on the killers side, the Lord has punished in some way. Johnny Cochran died of a brain tumor, Robert Kardashian who some say helped OJ hide the murder weapon died of throat cancer and his daughters became sluts that the world laughs at, Robert Shapiros son committed suicide, F. Lee Bailey, disbarred, broke, Alan Dershowitz, his sister was run over by a truck while riding a bike. The only ones who seemed to walk away unscathed were Barry Scheck and Peter Neufield who formed the Innocence project which got innocent people wrongly convicted out of jail. OJ on the other hand, the Lord isn’t finished with that Devil.

Really? Doesn’t even look like her. She has aged really well if that’s her. And she looks so much better and happier.

Here’s a longer article, probably where the original article was taken from, from Town & Country Magazine:

Sure did have a nice bizjet though. There was an incident at Omaha airport where this military jet took off and then went vertical up and out of sight. The tower, talking to F's plane asked "Can you do that??" F's plane took off and went straight up like the jet. The tower called back and said "pretty cool" and F responded with "I did that with one engine" - it was an early model Lear jet.

As told to me by my uncle who was not wasted at the time.
