John Vance, burr with a brain

But I can remember hearing a final argument to the jury made by the defense that — bragging on the prosecution team that had been brought down. He said, “They’ve got Frank Watts, the golden-tongued eagle of the District Attorney’s office. They brought you Bill Alexander who’s got more death penalties than any other prosecutor in the state. And they also brought John Vance, the burr with a brain.”
