Jacques Verges, the provocative French lawyer who earned the nickname "Devil's advocate" by defending a series of high-profile criminals from Klaus Barbie to Carlos the Jackal, died in Paris on Thursday aged 88.
An interesting life which reads like a novel and in fact has been made in to a film. Jacques Verges declared at one point in his career he would have defended Hitler if necessary.
