Short Info

Net Worth	$5 million
Date Of Birth	June 10, 1933
Spouse	Patricia Shiers, Lynda Hart, Florence Gott, Froma Portney
Fact	Godfather of one of Robert Shapiro's children. Shapiro had successfully defended Bailey on a drunk driving charge in the early 1980s. In 1994, the two defended O.J. Simpson on charges that he murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Shapiro recruited Barry Scheck, Robert Kardashian, and Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. to form the so-called "Dream Team"; Shapiro later told an interviewer that Cochran hijacked the case from him. During that trial, Bailey accused Mark Fuhrman of being a rogue cop who framed Simpson due to racism; Shapiro had accused the cop that arrested Bailey for DUI of going rouge. Simpson's acquittal gave Bailey a brief resurgence of his reputation, which had been tarnished by his loss in the Patricia Hearst case in which Hearst had accused him of incompetence.

F. Lee Bailey is an American lawyer who has been involved in some of the most high-profile court cases in recent history. He was born in Waltham, Massachusetts on June 10, 1933, the son of a successful attorney. Bailey attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 1965. He began his career as a prosecutor in the office of the Suffolk County District Attorney. Bailey soon made a name for himself as a skilled trial lawyer, and he began to take on more high-profile cases. In 1967, he defended Dr.

Sam Sheppard, who had been accused of murdering his wife. Bailey was able to get Sheppard acquitted, and the case was later made into a film, The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford. In 1971, Bailey defended heiress Patty Hearst, who had been accused of participating in a bank robbery. Hearst was ultimately convicted, but Bailey’s aggressive defense tactics garnered him much public attention. In the 1980s, Bailey took on the defense of several high-profile clients, including O. J.

Simpson and Claus von Bulow. He has also written several books on law and criminal justice. Bailey’s net worth is estimated to be $25 million.

Facts

#	Fact
1	Former Publisher of the 70s men's (adult) magazine, Gallery.
2	Attended the Cardigan Mountain School in Canaan, New Hampshire, a private boarding school located not far from Dartmouth College.
3	On November 21, 2001, the Florida Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the permanent disbarment of Bailey (that is, he was stricken from the roll of lawyers admitted to practice before the state's courts) for his misconduct in the 1994 DuBoc case specifically, for misappropriating client funds. In 1994, Bailey and Robert Shapiro represented Claude DuBoc, characterized by the federal government as a marijuana trafficking kingpin, eventually negotiating a verbal plea bargain deal with the U.S. Attorney in Florida in which DuBoc agreed to turn over his assets to the federal government. His assets included shares of the company BioChem worth approximately $6 million at the time of the plea bargain but which had appreciated by an additional $14 million by the year 2000, when the government sought to collect the stock, which had been deposited with Bailey as a caretaker. Pleading poverty to the press, Bailey refused to turn over the stock to the federal government, claiming in court that he was entitled to the appreciation of the stock in lieu of payment of his legal fees. In 2000, he was sent to prison for 44 days for contempt of court. After Shapiro testified for the federal government that it was entitled to the appreciated value of the stock, Bailey eventually quit his claim and surrendered the stock and was let out of prison. His conduct in this case led to his permanent disbarment in Florida. In a reciprocal disciplinary ruling, Bailey was disbarred by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2003. The Masschusetts disbarment was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in a decision issued on June 9, 2006. Bailey earlier had been disbarred by the state of New Jersey for one year, in 1971. Bailey also had been censured in 1970 when a Massachusetts judge said his attitude showed "a self-esteem of such proportions as to challenge description" and recommended disbarment. By the dawn of the 21st Century, Bailey -- one of the most famous and sought-after trial attorneys in the 1960s and '70s -- was essentially ruined.
