Anderson caused the only exception in Grigson's record. During testimony by the psychiatrist, Anderson asked him to evaluate not his own client but, hypothetically, a deprived black who had a record of several arrests before going to prison at 19 for a violent offense. "What would be your prognosis?" Anderson asked. Grigson said he saw only more of the same ahead. The lawyer then revealed that the case history belonged to Ron LeFlore, now a star for the Chicago White Sox. Even so, Anderson just barely succeeded. Eleven of the twelve jurors wanted to mete out the death penalty anyway.
