F. Lee Bailey was court-appointed to defend the Boston Strangler

Unproven What these labels mean →

Sheehan says F. Lee Bailey was court-appointed to defend the Boston Strangler (Albert DeSalvo). UPI reporting shows Bailey defended DeSalvo (inserting himself via inmate George Nassar's tip, arguing DeSalvo was the Strangler but legally insane), which understates 'court-appointed'.
