INTRODUCTION
The James Doherty
Papers reflect Doherty's career as a legal professional, especially
as assistant Public Defender (1956-1972/1986-1997) and as Public
Defender (1972 -1986) of Cook County, Illinois. The collection
includes Doherty's files for cases where he was defense attorney,
as well administrative records of the Cook County Public Defender's
Office. Doherty wrote extensively during his lifetime, and
manuscripts and working papers for several books are included,
two relating to cases where he was defense attorney.
The Papers also
reflect Doherty's work as a lecturer on trial practice and procedure.
Doherty taught courses and lectured at law schools in and around
Chicago, and he was a Fellow of the National College of Criminal
Defense Lawyers. His papers document these "extra professional"
activities, and also included are the working papers for Ready
For Trial Your Honor, a manual or handbook for trial lawyers.
A copy of the published book is contained in the collection.
Doherty collected
newspaper clippings, scholarly articles, legal decisions, etc.,
all pertaining to various legal issues and case precedents.
These are scattered throughout the collection, and most form part
of the series on professional activities (see below). Outside
of his professional life, Doherty was a chaplain of the American
Legion. The Papers include eulogies and other information
pertaining to that aspect of his life. There are also segments
of short stories authored by Doherty, and jokes and witticisms.
Finally, the collection documents Doherty's personal life including
correspondence, articles about health issues, and information
about his family and home life.
SCOPE
AND CONTENTS
I. Series &
Descriptions
The James Doherty
Papers are organized into four series: 1) Case Files, 2) Administrative
Papers, 3) Professional Activities, and 4) Personal Papers.
Case Files:
This Series consists of Doherty's personal files for cases where
he acted as defense attorney, although not all the files in the
series fall into that category. There are also files on
case precedents, files on other cases that might have had an impact
on (or better informed) Doherty's work, and finally cases of Doherty's
colleagues and staff. It should be noted here that none
of the files are necessarily complete, and they do not constitute
the official record of the Cook County Public Defender's Office.
None of the files breach client/lawyer confidentiality in that
they do not contain inculpatory information.
The Case Files
series is sub-divided into three distinct parts: 1) records of
the Lyman Moore case, including manuscripts and working papers
for Trial By Ambush, Doherty's book about the case
(see below); 2) records of the Sammie Garrett case, including
manuscripts and working papers for Anatomy of a Murder,
a book about the Garrett case (see below); and 3) records pertaining
to all other cases. The Moore and Garrett case files are
separated from the other cases only because of their size. The
Moore file, including the book papers and manuscripts, fills more
than five (15" x 12.5" x 10") boxes, and the Garret case file
and manuscript fills a complete box of the same size.
Three cases are
of particular interest in the Series: Lyman Moore, Sammie Garrett,
and Richard Speck. Richard Speck was convicted and sentenced
to death for the 1966
murder of eight student nurses. Doherty was part of
the defense team that appealed
the sentence claiming that potential jurors who stated they
were opposed to the death penalty were excluded from the jury.
The Illinois State Supreme Court agreed, and Speck's death sentence
was vacated in 1971. Speck was ultimately re-sentenced to
400 years in prison. Doherty's file on the Richard Speck
case is rather small, but it includes briefs for the Illinois
State Supreme Court, notes, and newspaper clippings. The
Lyman Moore and Sammie Garrett case files are much more substantial,
primarily because Doherty was the appellate attorney for both
Moore and Garrett, and with regards to the Lyman Moore case file
there is nearly thirty years of files including nearly a hundred
letters between the two.
In October of
1962 Lyman Moore was indicted for the murder of Bernie Zitek,
a
Lansing, Illinois bartender. Moore was subsequently
found guilty and sentenced to
death in 1964. In June of 1964 Doherty was appointed
counsel on appeal for Moore.
Doherty argued that a key witness for the prosecution had
mistakenly identified and
attributed a confession of guilt to Moore, and also that the
police did not turn over all evidence in their possession favorable
to the defense. Doherty also argued that the prosecution
had, in the course of the trial, introduced evidence that was
known to be irrelevant to the charge for which Moore was being
tried. In 1972 Doherty pleaded Moore's case before the U.S.
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court vacated Moore's death sentence
in June of 1972, but in a five to four decision the Court affirmed
Moore's conviction. He thereafter was sentenced to 60 to
100 years in prison.
In November of
1969 Sammie Garrett was charged with the murder of Karen Thompson.
Garrett and Thompson (who was married) met while enrolled
at Prairie State College in Chicago. An affair ensued, and
one night after class the two went out together. That same
night they rented a hotel room after they had been out drinking,
smoking
marijuana, and consuming barbiturates. Sometime earlier
that evening Garrett had come into possession of a shot gun.
When Garrett awoke the next morning he saw the dead body of Karen
Thompson on the floor. There was a shot-gun wound in her
head.
Garrett also found a suicide note from Thompson, but when
he notified the police of
her death he was charged with her murder.
At Garrett's trial
a coroner testified that Thompson's death was caused by a gun
shot wound from a gun that was at least four feet away from Thompson
when it was fired. And despite testimony by Thompson's husband
that she had been suicidal in the weeks leading up to her death,
Garrett was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
Doherty took Garrett's
case on appeal, and Thompson's body was exhumed for a re-examination
of the gun wound to her head. Expert forensics witnesses
were called in, and new evidence proved that the bullet that killed
her entered her head through
her mouth, and not from a distance of four feet. Garret's
conviction was subsequently overturned, but only after he had
spent five years in prison.
Administrative
Papers: These papers document Doherty's work
as a public administrator and manager of the Cook County Public
Defenders Office. The series includes records related to
his work for the County outside of the courtroom. Included
are memos and letters, budget and personnel information, and articles
and newspaper clippings about his office as well as other defender
offices. A good portion of the series includes the papers
belonging to Doherty's "Disparity of Pay" investigation.
In an attempt to garner more financial support and human resources
for his department, Doherty gathered together statistical, budget,
and salary information, comparing his department to other similar
departments throughout the country.
Professional
Activities: This is a large and encompassing
series covering Doherty's professional life outside of the Cook
County Public Defender's Office. Doherty was a prolific
writer, scholar, and lecturer. He wrote and collected information
about a multitude of legal issues. Areas of special interest
include the components of a criminal trial and criminal appeals,
forensics, and constitutional issues. There are articles,
essays, court opinions, and other papers all relating to these
issues as well as others not mentioned here. Some of the
material may have been gathered by Doherty either for use in the
classroom or in order to write Ready For Trial Your Honor,
a "trial lawyers manual." The series also contains materials
relating to several professional associations, particularly the
National College of Criminal Defense and the National Association
of Criminal Defense Lawyers. There is also information pertaining
to a number of conferences and seminars attended by Doherty.
Personal:
These papers document Doherty's personal and non-professional
life. Included is information about his work as a chaplain
for the American Legion, articles and information on veteran's
affairs, personal health and financial information, and family
life.

BIOGRAPHICAL
NOTE
James J. Doherty
was born in Belfast (Northern) Ireland in 1920. At a young
age he immigrated with his family to the United States and they
settled in Chicago. After high school he followed in his
father's footsteps and went to work for the Central Illinois Railroad.
Convinced by his Railroad co-workers to pursue a career in law,
Doherty was graduated from the DePaul University School of Law
in 1950, although he continued to work part-time for the Railroad
for many more years.
In 1956 Doherty
joined the Cook County Public Defender's Office as an assistant
public defender in the appeals division. From 1972 to 1986
Doherty served as chief Public Defender of Cook County.
And from 1986 to 1997, when he retired, he served as head of the
appellate division.
Doherty is known
for having pioneered the concept that the police and prosecution
are obliged to turn over evidence favorable to the defense.
He also advocated the concept that potential jurors should not
be excluded from a jury because they are opposed to the death
penalty. He argued or helped prepare briefs for several
cases before the United States Supreme Court, using these legal
issues as the basis for his appeals. Doherty was staunchly
opposed to the death penalty and was successful in having Lyman
Moore's death sentence repealed.
The James Doherty
papers reveal a spiritual person of Christian faith. He
believed in serving people in need, and lived by his own "Defender's
Credo," that hung on his wall in his office where he worked for
more than forty years.
