The Context of White Supremacy talk radio program welcomes F. Lee Bailey. One of the most renown litigators in U.S. history, Bailey notoriously won acquittals for the “Boston Strangler” and Dr. Sam Sheppard. The case he is most often is associated with is the 1995 “Trial of the Century,” The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson. Bailey is known as the architect of Simpson’s “Dream Team” defense strategy. Alongside Alan Dershowitz, Robert Shapiro, Barry Scheck, Gerald Uleman and Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., F. Lee Bailey helped demolish the prosecution’s case, which was highlighted by the evisceration of Mark Fuhrman. In this podcast, host Gus Hutchinson asks Bailey about how White people have treated him over the 25 years since Simpson’s acquittal. Hutchinson gets Bailey’s views on the 2016 FX series, which depicted O.J. as a no-doubt killer, as well as Jeffrey Toobin’s bestseller – which The C.O.W.S. Book Club is reading currently.
