Oh crap!! Who is Racehorse Haynes?
The last horse I bet on was so good, it took 9 other horses to beat him.
He was the inspiration for "The Devil's Advocate" character Alexander Cullen, played by Craig T. Nelson.
Quote:
“...with cases including the State of Texas v. John Hill...”
That was the most fascinating murder and murder trial I have
ever read about. It made the OJ Simpson trial look like a
trial for a minor traffic ticket.
I remember watching him in action in the courtroom in Kerrville, during the Ellebracht Slave Ranch trial in 1986. There wasn’t any way they were going to be found innocent, but he dang sure got them the lightest sentence you could imagine.
Stewball was a Racehorse Haynes Johnson.
RIP.
If I die at 90, they’ll have to say “after suffering declining health for 40 years.”
Racehorse was one of the greats.
And you sleep better at night because there are lawyers like Racehorse.
Angel in charge: No problem, we have a lot of those requests. Your delay is granted and you will be in Hades holding cell #3,021,215 until called for trial.
Haynes: How long will that be?
Angel in charge: Many say it feels like eternity.
