Gerry Spence Wins Final CaseFriday, June 6, 2008
Gerry Spence, one of the most renowned trial attorneys in U.S. history, prevailed in his final case before retirement earlier this week. He went 50 years without losing one criminal defense case and he was made famous by securing a $10.5 million verdict for the family of Karen Silkwood and for helping to defend O.J. Simpson. He is the author of 16 books.

This last case was tried in Detroit federal court and involved an attorney, Geoffrey Fieger, who was accused of making illegal campaign contributions to John Edwards. The indictment was especially suspicious because it was made against a well known supporter of Democratic candidates by a Justice Department which has flagrantly violated numerous laws. Information on the case this week is available at http://www.mlive.com/... and http://www.newsobserver.com/1565/story/1093505.html.
