The weirdest things you find out from reading books. Jack Ruby's ATTORNEY had a part in STAR TREK. He wasn't even an actor. I am reading a book about Dorothy Killgallen who was investigating the MURDER of JFK and got murdered herself. She did not like the Attorney for Jack Ruby, She saw him as being DISHONEST. Melvin Belli wanted to make the jury in Jack Ruby's trial think Jack Ruby was insane, and that is why he killed Oswald, but Jack Ruby did not think that was a good idea, and he wanted to testify. Dorothy Killgallen talked to Jack Ruby and saw that he was NOT INSANE. Jack really didn't think Melvin Belli's scheme was a good one, and it turned out it wasn't. Melville Belli didn't really defend Jack Ruby correctly. Even the Judge eventually saw that. Jack Ruby was sentenced to the DEATH PENALTY. Dorothy felt that Jack Ruby was PUT UP TO KILLING OSWALD by others who Jack was terrified of.. Unfortunately Dorothy was murdered before she could bring all the TRUTH out. I found out from this book that MELVIN BELLI got a part in Star Trek as EVIL GORGAN, even though he wasn't an actor. Here is a scene he was in. His Character was as shady and evil as Belli was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Mi_LCWVbI A NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT THE FIRING OF MELVIN BELLI AFTER JACK RUBY WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH. "Jack Ruby Fires Belli, Hires Texas Aftorney" "DALLAS (DPI) After firing Melvin Belli of Shu Francisco, convicted .lack Ruby today hired Percy Foreman, Houston, Tex., to represent him on appeal on his death sentence. Foreman probably is the best known trial lawyer in Texas. Belli blew up after the guilty verdict last Saturday and screamed that Ruby was convicted in a "kangaroo court.” Phil Burleson, Dallas, a defense attorney still on the ••use, disclosed today that Ruby made the final decision to fire Belli and that he wrote the letter dismissing him. Burleson will file with District Judge Joe B. Brown a motion Friday asking for a new trial. The odds are overwhelming that Brown will deny the motion but it is necessary to get the appeals machinery in motion. Ruby’s sister said today that Belli was fired “because it was the best thing to do. " The News said the letter outlined the family’s chagrin at criticism they felt was aimed at "promoting only Belli’* PERSONAL FAME.” “My brother has been disturbed and upset by reports of Mr. Belli’s actions both in and out of court,” the News quoted Ruby’s brother, Hyman, of Chicago, as saying. “The opinions this man expressed about Dallas, the jury, judge Joe Brown and Dist Atty. Henry Wade are not shared by Jack or any member of his family,” Hyman told the paper. Eva L. Grant declined to elaborate on why the Ruby family fired Belli. The other two defense attorneys who worked the case with Belli were retained.

Mrs. Grant said a letter is on its way to Belli's office in San Francisco Informing him of the dismissal. Kelli In Mexico Belli, visiting in Mexico City, said “I haven’t heard anything about it.
