Publisher's Summary

In the tradition of best-selling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry Browne's The Devil's Defender recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate - and a human being.
For the last four decades, Browne has defended the indefensible. From Facebook folk hero the "Barefoot Bandit" Colton Moore, to Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre and Kandahar massacre culprit Sergeant Robert Bales, Browne's unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases - and nearly win them all - has led 48 Hours' Peter Van Sant to call him "the most famous lawyer in America." But although the Browne that America has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy, the most infamous serial killer in American history.
Browne, a drug- and alcohol-addicted yet wildly successful defense attorney who could never let go of the case that started it all, here asks himself the question others have asked him all along: Does defending evil make you evil too?

no. he talked as if his book would be all about Bundy, but he did not tell us anything that was already known. I we very disappointed

Not what it promises

If you're looking for a true crime thriller written by the defense attorney, read the one about John Wayne gacy.

This book barley has anything about bundy and what little it does is real outside peripheral. It's mostly about his life as a lawyer but he makes even drugs and rock n roll feel dull. I didn't finish it, I returned the book

Great but new details of crimes preferred.

This is a good read by a good man. I had hoped though that being Bundy's Lawyer, he would have elaborated and offered some never before released details of Ted's awful crimes.

Despite his strong beliefs against the death penalty, I still struggle to see how he could have not shown his disgust to Ted personally more openly and directly. Ted respected him, and so perhaps would have made an impact on Ted. I would like to have heard Ted's responses.

An amazing Lawyer, it seems, and with a level of intelligence most of us wish we could have been born with.
