Book excerpt: Grant B. Cooper is remembered as one of the most prolific attorneys of twentieth-century America. He made courtroom history in his effort to secure the first death penalty conviction under the Little Lindbergh Law. He became internationally known as the attorney for Dr. Bernard Finch, who was accused of murdering his wife, and as the attorney for the infamous Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. An exceptional man both in and out of the courtroom, Grant was born into a family that has served the United States for generations. He soared as a charismatic, intelligent attorney unafraid of taking on the politics and policework driven by the mob in 1940s Los Angeles, then characterized by the United States Attorney General as “the most corrupt city in America.” Grant etched himself into America’s history as one of the finest attorneys this country has ever known. Scrupulously researched and epic in scope, Grant Justice brings alive not only the most scandalous trials of the 1900s, but the man who made them his life.
