...first installment of the series, Emilio Estevez plays a stereo typical greedy lawyer who gets busted for DWI and has to perform community service by coaching a stereotypical inner-city pee-wee team with no money but a lotta heart...
...turns out, that "Lewis thing" may be the only business trait she and her husband shared. Reg was a brash Harvard-trained lawyer who became the richest African American in U.S. history through ruthless ambition and sheer willpower; Loida is scholarly and low key, the author of three textbooks, and deeply religious. She is perhaps the only CEO of a multinational company who greets visitors with a hug rather than a handshake. He smoked power-broker cigars, traveled in a custom jet and kept a Louis XIV-style office suite in Paris as a pit stop. She finds little...
...most devastating information provided by Kardashian in American Tragedy concerns a lie detector test that he says Simpson took two days after the murders. The test was arranged by Robert Shapiro, one of Simpson's lawyers, and was intended to help the defense.

The singer, reputedly Britain's 145th richest man, has three young children with Hall, two children with other amours and two grandchildren...
...wreak vengeance on Nokes' former accomplices, all of whom have gone on to respectable lives. Shakes' job is to persuade their priestly mentor to supply an alibi for the murderers by lying on the witness stand. This offers amusingly gainful employment for Dustin Hoffman as a bumbling defense lawyer. It is all legally preposterous. But Levinson is a slick craftsman, his actors are insinuatingly real, and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus casts a disarmingly believable light on these proceedings. At some low, what's-next level, Sleepers works like, well, gangbusters...
