The Chelsea Grand: No Objections Here

Best Defense Lawyer Ever Barry C. Scheck Buys In Chelsea

There’s no public listing for the apartment that Barry C. Scheck just purchased at 270 West 17th Street,
but we’ll assume that the $745,000 that he paid for it was probably a very good price.

After all, if anyone was going to argue a price down, it would be Mr. Scheck, the defense attorney who helped win O.J. Simpson an acquittal and founded the Innocence Project with Peter Neufeld in 1992, a legal group that has exonerated more than 200 of the wrongly-convicted with DNA evidence. Read More

I didn’t interview him for the story on the record or off, and the inclusion of his name Read More

Foxy Regan-omics: If the Glove Had Fitted, O.J. Would Not Have Been Acquitted

In a two-part Fox special airing Nov. 27 and 29, O.J. Simpson will talk about how he could have killed his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her boyfriend, Ron Goldman, if he had killed them, which, of course, he didn’t. Or “didn’t.”

The Age of Innoncence: Neufeld’s DNA Crusade Rolls On

It’s been nearly nine years since Peter Neufeld’s name entered the national consciousness along with Marcia Clark, “the White Bronco” and “the house on Rockingham.” By destroying the credibility of the prosecution’s best evidence-the blood trail from Nicole’s body to O.J.’s car-Mr. Neufeld, with longtime partner Barry Scheck, is as responsible as Johnnie Cochran for Read More
