Richard Haynes

Richard "Racehorse" Haynes (born April 3, 1927) is a legendary Texas criminal defense attorney. "TIME" magazine once referred to him as one of the top six criminal lawyers in America. A native of Houston, Texas, he graduated from the University of Houston Law Center in 1956. He has been involved in landmark cases such as The State of Texas v. John Hill (a basis for the book "Blood and Money"), and the notorious T. Cullen Davis murder trial. He also represented Morganna, a.k.a. "The Kissing Bandit."

At a late 1970's American Bar Association seminar in New York [http://www.excaliburautomobile.com/Image/Circle&Sword/Vol3/page5.htm] , Mr. Haynes explained how to plead in the alternative:

Say you sue me because you say my dog bit you. Well, now this is my defense:
* My dog doesn't bite.
* And second, in the alternative, my dog was tied up that night.
* And third, I don't believe you really got bit.
* And fourth, I don't have a dog.

Mr. Haynes currently resides in Houston, Texas and continues to actively practice law.
