  Biography of Bobby Seale
Bobby Seale, cofounder with Huey Newton in 1966 of the Black Panther Party, was one of the original eight defendants in the Chicago Conspiracy Trial.
Seale complained bitterly that he had been denied a right to the lawyer of his choice (Seale's attorney was hospitalized for surgery and Judge Hoffman refused his request for a continuance) and the right to represent himself.
Seale was most likely added as a defendant in the conspiracy case so that the government could use Seale's highly inflammatory speeches to taint the other conspirators in the eyes of the jury.
