Famed trial lawyer F. Lee Bailey, whose clients included O.J. Simpson, dies at 87

F. Lee Bailey, a prominent and controversial defense attorney, died Thursday at age 87. His death was confirmed to CNN by Jennifer Sisson, a manager at Bailey's consulting firm.

Bailey was best known for his participation in the successful defenses of high-profile clients, including O.J. Simpson. "I lost a great one. F Lee Bailey you will be missed," Simpson tweeted Thursday, along with a video of himself talking about the lawyer, who he described of"one of the great lawyers of our time."Bailey also successfully defended Army Capt. Ernest Medina against court martial charges related to the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War.

I’m so sad.

He did his Job... Period. RIP

Good riddance.

Rip

Good

you can only lie so long. London hundreds of thousands in London streets protesting wanting freedom. Media say few hundred. Your lies cannot last. We are taking you down.

At one time he was a legend.

There was a Scottish legal documentary, they interviewed one of the country's most prominent defence lawyers. In his words, a lawyer is not there to get his client off with it, he is there too ensure a fair trial. Mr Bailey did seem similarly minded.

… And is now slowly roasting in hell.

….not news but thanks for the update I guess.

Don’t worry Juice, he didn’t really tell the truth.

RIP,John 3:16 grandma

May you rest in peace. However OJ is guilty of murdering his wife and an innocent decent individual. OJ was controlling and abusive to Nicole, tragic event.

Where was Oj?

Rip

Was he like 134 years old or something ?

EVERYONE knows OJ is guilty. Don't blame Bailey - he did his job. Blame Garcetti who moved the trial from where it was committed to downtown where the jury pool would have let him off even if he had been caught in the act on film - based off of his skin tone and being their HERO!

Don’t worry Juice, he didn’t really tell the truth.

Rest In Peace

Hell has been waiting.....

And now he belongs to the demons

“Calling it your job ole hoss sure don’t make it right..but if you ask me too I’ll say a prayer for your soul tonight”

Just as guilty as OJ

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bastard

I’d say Nicole could now give him a piece of her mind. But they’re in opposite realms

Wondering of the consequences he’ll have to endure while trying to get into Heaven, knowing he helped convince a jury that TheRealOJ32 was found not guilty of killing Nicole& Ronald. We all know in our hearts that he was guilty as Hell! Maybe that’s where FLB will end up in 🔥

When race takes precident over Justice.

I went to some of the Patty Hearst trial and thought he came off like a pompous windbag. He didn’t win that one.

Just read his Wikipedia page. Sounds like no great loss. More like F. U. Bailey.

He surely was a brave soul. May he RIP with himself.

Is this true ?, I mean, we all know News Network 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
