FRANCE-LAWYER-WARCRIMES-PEOPLE-VERGES
This picture taken on May 17, 1989 shows French lawyer Jacques Verges in front of Lyon's courthouse during the trial of the Action Direct terrorist group. 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 August 15, 2013, aged 88. Verges died of a heart attack in the house where 18th century enlightenment philosopher Voltaire once lived -- an appropriate setting for an iconoclast who devoted his life to defending unpopular causes, according to his publishing house.
