Me Being a Jerk and a Hero—The first picture is from a newspaper where I apparently was giving speeches before legal groups entitled “How to Make Crime Pay.” I know, pretty damn obnoxious. I was clearly bragging about how lucrative our practice was. I do not remember this and it shocks my conscience. The second picture will make you feel a little better about me. In 1978 Mary Vincent was hitchhiking and was picked up by a guy named Larry Singleton. He raped her, then cut off her arms with an axe, and left her in the California desert to die. She didn’t, he was arrested and sent to prison. Later she applied for orthopedic help from the State of California’s Victims of Violent Crimes Act. The state refused to help her because she was a resident of Nevada and just hitchhiking across California when she was abducted. I was outraged, took her case pro bono, and we beat the crap out of California both publicity wise as well as in the court room. As a result, the laws related to assisting victims in California were changed.
