It's your fault you know. Drama. You love a good drama.
Heck, you love bad dramas too. Tiger King outed us all on that. As long as the drama contains high drama, and by that I mean the lowest, evil skullduggery versus angelic highs. Oops, don't need that part, actually. Wanton stupidity often suffices. Anyway, the point is, we love drama. Well, so long as it's not ours. Lawyers know this too.
Originally published to the Gainesville Times, January 17, 1989, Alex Taylor discusses our love affair with trial lawyers. Oh, and there's a bit on Bolita, towards the end.
Factoid 1: Frank Ragano's Mob Lawyer provided a few inspirational nuggets woven into Bolita where artistic license mandated. Interesting but subjective read, and I'll leave the veracity part to its omnipotent critics.
Factoid 2: Melvin Belli's career included actual acting, including his appearance in Star Trek's Original Series as Gorgon (The Devil), who.. um.. had a thing for kids.
