John Henry Browne tried over 250 criminal cases to the verdict, which represents clients ranging from the serial killer Ted Bundy of Colton Harris - Moore, known as the "barefoot Bandit".
65-Year-old said that he has treated only three or four military cases. The soldier will also be at least a military lawyer.
Browne has been an important figure in the State of Washington legal community since the 1970s. Large and elegant, he is known also for his zeal in the representation of his clients and his flair for the television cameras.
He has held some criminal cases more publicized in the State. In addition to being a lawyer for Bundy, in 1983, he helped Benjamin Ng avoid the death penalty after his conviction in worst massacre of Washington, the massacre of 13 people at a restaurant in Seattle.
In one of his greatest legal victories, Browne assured that a man who fled to the Brazil after a fire that killed four firefighters would not face charges of murder on his return since the required country - Brazil - does not have an equivalent to the State of Washington Act of murder of crime.
Browne recently represented Colton Harris-Moore, who drew international attention to steal cars, boats and aircraft during a performance of Act two years. Browne and his co-counsel, Emma Scanlan, helped Harris-Moore to reach State and federal plea deals, and then convince a judge of the State to give the lower end of the range of the sentencing: seven years in prison.
Browne is a graduate of the school of law of the American University in 1971 and continued to be a member of the Ford Foundation at the Northwestern University School of Law. He began his career as an Attorney General Assistant in Olympia, Washington, capital of the State.
