From the 1920s, we&#8217;ll cover the remarkable careers, cases and colorful lives of the great Clarence Darrow renowned for the famous Scopes Monkey trial; William J. Fallon, who defended over 125 homicides and never lost a trial; and Earl Rodgers, the inspiration for TV&#8217;s Perry Mason. Also included are lawyers of more recent history: &#8220;Racehorse&#8221; Haynes, the amazing Texas attorney who saved millionaire murderers; Johnnie Cochran of the O. J. Simpson trial and Judy Clarke who kept many of America&#8217;s most hated killers like the Unabomber and Eric Rudolph, off death row. Sometimes called the &#8220;defenders of the damned,&#8221; you won&#8217;t soon forget these amazing courtroom magicians.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepare to be alternately surprised, amused and sometimes infuriated by<span class=\"more-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/talks\/great-lawyers\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Defenders of the Damned: Unforgettable Defense Lawyers<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":757,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions\/757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historytalks.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
