About Vincent Bugliosi
Vincent Bugliosi, author of Divinity of Doubt: The God
Question, received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the
L.A. County District Attorney's office, he successfully
prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder
convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles
Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter
Skelter , the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing
history. Two of Bugliosi's other books -- And the Sea
Will Tell and Outrage -- also reached #1 on the New
York
Times hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime
writer has ever had more
than one book that achieved this ranking. Reclaiming
History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, was a
New York Times bestseller and has been heralded as "epic" and "a
book for the ages." HBO, in association with Tom Hanks' PlayTone
Productions, will be producing this as an eight-hour miniseries in
2013, the 50th anniversarry of the Kennedy assassination.
Bugliosi's excellence as a trial lawyer is best captured in the judgement of his peers. "Bugliosi is as good a prosecutor as there ever was," Alan Dershowitz says. F. Lee Bailey calls Bugliosi "the quintessential prosectuor." "There is only one Vince Bugliosi. He's the best," says Robert Tanenbaum, for years the top homicide prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office. Most telling is the comment by Gerry Spence, who squared off against Bugliosi in a twenty-one-hour televised "docu-trial" of Lee Harvey Oswald, in which the original key witnesses in the Kennedy assassination testified. After a guilty verdict was returned in Bugliosi's favor, Spence said, "No other lawyer in America could have done with Vince did in this case."
Bugliosi lives with his wife, Gail, in Pasadena, California.
