    Which murder victim was probably most famously associated with a washed-up lawyer, a washed-up actor and an Italian gangster?

    Question #56335. Asked by gmackematix. (Apr 01 05 12:39 AM)

    		Is this the wife of TV's Baretta, Robert Blake? He was found not guilty of her murder.

    		No, but this person was murdered by his wife who then shot herself.

    		Yay, Mrs Ace. Now can you please expand for those not in the know.

    		Gmack, I'm not even positive on my answer, but here goes.

    Italian Gangster - reference to his impersonation of Sinatra, also died same month as him.

    Washed-up Actor - his relationship with Paul Reubens and his co-creation with him of Pee-Wee Herman. Or quite possibly his impersonations of Telly Savalas, or Burt Reynolds. His wife Brynn could even fit in this category.

    Washed-up Lawyer - impersonation of Bill Clinton.

    What I didn't know was that he designed album covers for Toto and America, also designed Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's logo...that would have stumped me.

    		How strange. You have the right answer in Phil Hartman, but being British, I have only really known him for his voicework in "The Simpsons".

    In that show he was ambulance-chasing washed-up lawyer Lionel Hutz, faded actor Troy You-might-remember-me-from-such-films-as McClure and as gangster Fat Tony. Perhaps it would have been easier if I had also said monorail salesman.

    Does someone else do those voices now or do those characters not appear in it any more?

    		Gmack, I really enjoyed him on Saturday Night Live and the sitcom Newsradio. I knew he did voices for the Simpsons but I'm not really a big fan of the show. Seems his life and art were intertwined. I don't know if they replaced his voice on the Simpsons, but I'd guess no.

    This self-described murder victim makes a very brief appearance in a great work of Italian literature. Later, she became the subject of a 19th-century painting by an artist of Italian heritage and an Italian opera, too. In fact, the full name by which we know her was attached to her by scholars. What is she called, where does she appear in the work of literature, who produced the painting, and who wrote the opera?

    In the UK, a person arrested for murder can be held for set periods of time before he (or she) is charged or released. Initially it's 24 hours, but it can be much longer - and there is nothing the accused or a lawyer can do about it until the time is up. However, in just about every American TV cop show I've seen, a lawyer breezes in after half an hour and says "charge or release", and then walks out with the client. Is this right in real life?

    Which criminal lawyer has won the most consecutive murder trials?
