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.

Marcia wasn’t up to the job. F. Lee Baileys disbarment. It didn’t hurt B.J. Clinton’s career.

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

(((
I can think of 3 reasons:

It keeps them from having to report any real news, especially any great things the president has done.

There are, unfortunately, many among the public who love rehashing all of the tabloid stories.

Rehashing the OJ verdict is a great way to stir up racial tensions.

Sounds to me like F. Lee just became a regular guy. He has plenty to be thankful for, no reason to be depressed.

The Post references a Town and Country article on him that you can Google w/o a wall.

The Clintons came along and a new form of Democrap politics were introduced...

That would be the politics of Triangulation.

I wrote in the past that triangulation was designed to pit one group against another, and then Clinton would take the middle ground between them and look like the Great Reconciler.

The problem is that after eight years of being triangulated, the country was left divided across many different lines.

And then Bush won...

Here’s what he had left: a 1999 Mercedes station wagon (gold, of course).

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;...Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

According to the movie “The People Vs. O.J. Simpson,” they never did “do it,” though they came close.

In Los Angeles, plastic surgeons are as common as dandelions on a lawn in summer.

I live in Bakersfield. I know that. I don’t care what she had ‘done’. I don’t put anyone down for having work done. I say if you can afford it go for it. I was just saying she looks darn good.

I honestly thought that he was long dead. Not that I think about him, but that has been my reaction when I hear his name.

So, the slobs who hoped to become rich and famous over the trial are now just ordinary slobs. Good.

No problem.

I thought your post implied she looks that way naturally. I think she looks really good, too; even better than she looked during the 1995 trial.

Heck, I would like to get some “work” done myself.....hair restoration, for starters....LOL.

Apparently he was disbarred, and Robert Shapiro testified against him at the disciplinary hearing. Schadenfreude!

She has aged really well if that’s her. And she looks so much better and happier.

To me she looks like she has had a lot of cosmetic surgery. Thus, not looking like herself.

She appears to have kicked the eating disorder and to be honest is quite attractive. Good for her.

Reminds me of the story of the alley cat who was out doing what they do, and leaped over, but didn’t quite clear, a barbed-wire fence.
So he hired himself out as a `consultant’.

Good point - the supposed causes of the l*ft and the Cl*ntons in particular are often really obfuscations exaggerated for the effect.
