Imagine practicing law for 60 years, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney- and never losing a single case before a jury.
That was the enviable record racked up by attorney Gerry Spence.
And his record in civil cases was nearly as perfect.
A brilliant legal mind, coupled with a charismatic personality and courtroom demeanor made him one of America’s most effective trial lawyers.
So it was with more than just passing interest that Spence sat in the courtroom every day as a spectator at the trial of the century, the murder trial of OJ Simpson.
Two years after the verdict in that case, Spence wrote a book called OJ: The Last Word. And that was when Spence and I had one of our many conversations.
So here now, from 1997, Gerry Spence.
Gerry Spence is 94 now, and still lives in his native Wyoming.
