  • Summary

  • When acclaimed songwriter Billy Joe Shaver shot a man outside a Waco bar, he hired Dick DeGuerin who vowed to fight to prove Shaver was defending his own life. Dick used strong words, a deft strategy and a bit of courtroom theater to persuade the jury to rule in Billy Joe's favor. The tumultuous proceedings inspired Billy Joe to write his autobiographical song "The Wacko from Waco".
