Hollywood Lawyer: The Jerry Giesler Story, by Jerry Giesler as told to Pete Martin. 1962 first printing paperback. 342 pages, very nice condition.
Jerry Giesler believed the accused is entitled to a good defense. What he delivered, consistently, was a brilliant defense. Here are some of the people he defended:
Errol Flynn—charged with statutory rape on two counts;
Clarence Darrow—charged with attempted bribery of a jury;
Lily St. Cyr—charged with indecent exposure;
Charles Chaplin—charged with violation of the Mann Act;
Robert Mitchum—charged with illegal possession of narcotics.
The due processes of law make fascinating reading. When the cases are charged with the legal genius of Giesler at work, the fascination cannot be denied!
