in his heyday

"When I was young, if a person knew the name of only one lawyer, that lawyer was probably F. Lee Bailey. " -- Peter J Reilly, FORBES Magazine, April 3, 2012.

"Superstar" criminal defense attorney, with "high-profile" cases with the names of The Boston Strangler, Sam Shepard, the My Lai Massacre, Patty Hearst, and O.J. Simpson attached to them; then jailed (and released) and disbarred himself.

For his toehold of a website, meant to prove O.J. Simpson's murder acquittal was right, see here (also includes a more contemporary photograph of Bailey).

For some highlights and lowlights of his career, see here and here and here and here.
