What Ruby needed was a defense lawyer who could have matched Wade's demeanor, perhaps a small-town Texas lawyer, old-fashioned and down to earth, with suspenders instead of a velvet collar." The professional verdict on Belli's conduct of the defense was neatly capsuled in a Texas lawyer's quip: "They found Melvin Belli guilty and gave Jack Ruby the chair...
