Gerry Spence Attorney

Spence began his career in Riverton, Wyoming, and later became a successful defense attorney for the insurance industry. After years, Spence said he “saw the light” and became committed to representing people instead of corporations, insurance companies, banks, or “big business”.

Gerry Spence Karen Silkwood

Gerry gained attention for the Karen Silkwood case. Karen Silkwood was a chemical technician at the Kerr-McGee plutonium-production plant, where she became an activist and vocal critic of plant safety what would now be known as a whistleblower.

He represented Silkwood’s father and children, who charged that Kerr-McGee was responsible for exposing Silkwood to dangerous levels of radiation. He won a $10.5 million verdict for the family.

The year 1984, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the family’s right to sue under state law for punitive damages from a federally regulated industry.

Gerry Spence Other Cases

Upon finishing the Silkwood case, Spence tried a number of high-profile cases. He has not lost a civil case since 1969 and has never lost a criminal case with a trial by jury in port, Oregon in December 1985, later prevailing on appeal.

He was appointed a special prosecutor in the case against notorious murderer Mark Hopkinson in Wyoming in 1979. He successfully secured four murder convictions and a death sentence against Hopkinson, who was executed in 1992.

He successfully defended white separatist Randy Weaver on murder, assault, conspiracy, and gun charges in the Ruby Ridge, Idaho, federal standoff case, by successfully impugning the conduct of the FBI and its crime lab. He never called a witness for the defense.

Gerry Spence Mock trial: United States v. Oswald

In the year 1986, Spence defended Lee Harvey Oswald, the deceased assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, against well-known prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi in a 21-hour televised unscripted mock trial sponsored by London Weekend Television in the United Kingdom.

That jury returned a guilty verdict. Expressing admiration for his adversary’s prosecutorial skill, Spence remarked, “No other lawyer in America could have done what Vince did in this case.” The “docu-trial” and his preparation for it inspired Bugliosi’s 1600-page book examining the details of the Kennedy assassination and various related conspiracy theories, entitled Reclaiming History, winner of the 2008 Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime.

For several times in the book Bugliosi specifically cites his respect for Spence’s abilities as a defense attorney as his impetus for digging more deeply into various aspects of the case than he perhaps would have otherwise.

Gerry Spence Tort reform activism

In the election season of 2004, Spence, a vocal opponent of tort reform, crisscrossed his native Wyoming spearheading a series of self-funded town hall-style meetings to inform voters of an upcoming ballot measure, Constitutional Amendment D, which would have limited Wyoming citizens’ ability to recover compensation if injured by medical malpractice. The ballot measure failed, with a 50.3% “No” vote.
