Melvin Belli: King of the Courtroom

Famed attorney Melvin Belli was flamboyant, eccentric, and narcissistic. He called a liar, a charlatan, and an ambulance chaser. But those who knew Belli also described him as genius and revolutionary thinker, a lawyer who changed the legal landscape like before or since. In this tantalizing biography, former criminal defense attorney and television legal analyst Mark Shaw chronicles the life and times of the "King of Torts," including his representation of such luminaries as Jack Ruby, The Rolling Stones, Mohammed Ali, and mobster Mickey Cohen.
