Joe Freeman Britt (July 23, 1935 – April 6, 2016) was an American attorney and judge who developed a national reputation as a tough prosecutor, and for successfully pursuing a large number of death penalty convictions. He was also well known by the judicial system for accusations of misconduct, including Brady violations, i.e. hiding or failing to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence from the defence, in approximately one third of his cases.[1]
Described as "towering" (he stood 6'6") and with a flamboyant courtroom presence, the Guinness Book of World Records lists Britt as the "deadliest prosecutor in America", with 47 death row convictions to his name as of 1988.[2]
