John Henry Browne is an American criminal defense attorney practicing in Seattle, Washington. Browne is known for both his zeal in defending his clients and his flair for garnering media attention. He has represented defendants in a number of high-profile cases, including serial killer Ted Bundy, Colton Harris-Moore, Benjamin Ng and Martin Pang. He has tried over 250 criminal cases to verdict. Browne and his actions have been the subject of some controversy, and he has sometimes been criticized for his peculiar and combative style both in and out of the courtroom. He is particularly known for obtaining sympathetic treatment for his clients by shifting the focus away from the serious crimes that were committed by arguing for consideration of the background of the defendant and the circumstances in which the events took place.
