F. Lee Bailey with Jake Ehrlich

Attorney, F. Lee Bailey was a Protege of Jake Ehrlich Sr.  

I had a conversation with Lee and he said "Jake and I only ever had one argument, and that was whether or not cross-examination could be taught.  Jake proved me wrong."

Lee also said, "Mel Belli used to introduce me as his illegitimate son, and Jake used to introduce me as his son."
