Now that O.J. Simpson is out of jail, no one involved in the
O.J. spectacle has taken as big a fall
as F. Lee Bailey.
Bailey joined Simpson’s defense team with a
courtroom résumé that even Perry Mason would be jealous of. Bailey got
neurosurgeon Sam Sheppard a new trial on charges he brutally killed his wife —
and a not-guilty verdict. He defended fugitive newspaper heiress Patty Hearst,
the “Boston Strangler” and scores of other accused murderers. He was rich, flew
on private jets and even played himself in a movie.
Today he lives with a hairstylist in Maine. Last
year, Bailey filed for bankruptcy after a string of scandals inside and outside
the courtroom left him disbarred and shamed. He was accused of misappropriating
funds from his defense of an alleged drug dealer.

Unable to practice law, Bailey runs a consulting
business above his girlfriend’s hair salon.
