John Mortimer, author of the Rumpole of the Bailey series, has died. His comic novels follow the eponymous English barrister as he navigates both the law and his marriage to "She Who Must Be Obeyed." Mortimer knew what he was writing about. He was a lawyer and testified for the defense in the Lady Chatterley's Lover obscenity trial of the 1960s. The BBC has details and remembrances.--David E
