The Jewish press wasn't fair to OJ? Or F. Lee Bailey. Never thought of that. It's a good excuse for his problems I suppose. At least he has a girlfriend.
Being on the wrong side of OJ wasn't fun either.
Because there is absolutely no way for a person to reach millions of people without going through a corporate publisher or Hollywood studio.
Hey,Flee...your client essentially beheaded the mother of his children.And you helped him get away with it.
Or after paying $24,000 a month in alimony and child support and seeing her boy toys driving around town in the Ferrari he paid for he snapped.
The Florida Bar case was precipitated when Bailey was caught taking a drug defendant client's stock and cash out of trust and spending millions for himself rather than providing it to the federal government as his client's criminal plea agreement required. The federal judge involved, the late Maurice Paul of Florida's Northern District, was a courteous and soft-spoken type but not someone who would accept a lawyer -- even a celebrity lawyer -- lying to him and violating the forfeiture aspects of a plea agreement.
There is no reason to think that the O.J. Simpson case played any role in Bailey's troubles. The mishandling of client property held in trust is a common source of trouble for cash-hungry or careless lawyers. Bailey's misconduct was so flagrant and well-established that it could not be ignored.
