[edit] Adding a bit to the article

I have found some information to add to this article. One of my law professors described Percy Foreman as being one of the greatest American criminal defense lawyers that ever lived or words to that effect. Wish there were more source material on Foreman on the internet. Famspear 21:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I added a link to the article for Judd, for the Defense, a TV series with a character allegedly based on Foreman. Famspear 15:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


Foreman was born near Coldsprings, Texas, not "Boldsprings". I'm from there and have often heard older family members who knew him tell stories of him. Foremane also cooperated with a biography written inthe mid 1960's, goes fairly in depth regarding his bigger cases and his personality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.183.222 (talk) 23:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


Famspear, couldn't figure out how to respond to your message, so I posted it here, please feel free to delete. I wouldn't doubt that the Foremans were from S. Louisiana, many of the settlers in Polk and San Jacinto county were from there. My uncle seems to have the most stories about Percy, he worked at the local gas station on weekends when he was a kid and remembered that they would have to get extra change for when Foreman came to visit his mother as the smallest bill percy carried was a 100, which was big money in east texas in the late 1940s. Also I've heard old timers talk about Zemmie (or Zebbie) Foreman, percey's brother and argue whether he or Percey was the better trial lawyer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.183.222 (talk) 19:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Famspear,

Here is a link to Foreman's father's obituary:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Foreman.jpg

Image:Foreman.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
