Using astrology, he claims to have successfully predicted the outcomes of a number of legal matters for his clients. Murphy was born in Boston, England on February 10, 1946, at 4:32 p.m. GMT. He's a member of the England, California, and Texas bars, and since 1984 he has been a professor of law at South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas. His main work, Murphy on Evidence, is now in it's fifth edition, and he is the editor-in-chief of Blackstone's Criminal Practice, a leading legal reference work.
