F Lee Bailey, the celebrity lawyer who defended OJ Simpson, Patricia Hearst and the alleged Boston Strangler has died at the age of 87, a former colleague said.
The death was confirmed by Peter Horstmann, who worked with Mr Bailey as an associate in the same law office for seven years.
In a legal career that lasted more than four decades, Mr Bailey was seen as arrogant, egocentric and contemptuous of authority. But he was also acknowledged as bold, brilliant, meticulous and tireless in the defence of his clients.
