Résumé
THE ACCUSED IS ENTITLED TO A DEFENSE.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 a Giesler at work, the fascination cannot be denied!
