The drama is planned for 10 to 13 episodes for the first season.<\/p>\n<p>The book details the work of the infamous defense attorney, who has taken on such high-profile cases as serial killer Ted Bundy and Robert Bales, in which the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were put on trial.<\/p>\n<p>Polakoff commented: \u201cJohn Henry Brown is a most fascinating and complicated hero\u2014from playing rock and roll and opening for Hendrix, his story takes us from reforming the prison system to defending angels and devils against the death penalty and justice system. At the same time he is battling his own demons that rage day and night, and instead of taking him down, they empower him to take even greater risks, and battle the most confounding legal cases of our time. His humanity and his collision with the powers that be make this giant of a man both relatable and mind-bogglingly beguiling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: The autobiography The Devil&#8217;s Defender: My Odyssey Through American Criminal Justice from Ted Bundy to the Kandahar Massacre by John Henry Browne is being developed for television as an hour-long drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1552],"class_list":["post-7083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-the-devils-defender","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
