For fifty-five years Ellis Rubin (1925-2006) took on some of the most high-profile and bizarre cases in Miami, Florida, with some of the most creative and outlandish defenses ever conceived. He was, to say the least, a legal legend in Dade County, Florida courtrooms, which is says a lot considering Miami has the dubious distinction of being America's #1 "crime capitol." Rubin's unconventional defenses included a teenage boy with a distorted sense of reality who was on trial for murder, in which he argued in defense of the teenager that he suffered from "television intoxication." But as outlandish as Rubin might have seemed, he was not without his own set of morals. He once spent rime in jail for refusing to represent a potential client because he felt the man was lying to him. An amazing person, as one of America's most adroit lawyers and forceful speakers, he started life with a verbal stuttering condition so severe that he couldn't even pronounce his own name! His debut work in this autobiography explodes off the pages, giving us an inside tale of perhaps the most colorful attorneys in America's recent past.
