Smith, now a physician involved in an organization dedicated to banning land mines, is the nephew of former president John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General and U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and former Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. 

In the Bieber case, the pop star was accused of driving a Lamborghini under the influence and drag racing. He later pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor careless driving and resisting arrest.

Castroneves, a winner of the Indianapolis 500, was acquitted of charges that he tried to evade more than $2 million in taxes. 

Other clients Black represented included deceased conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh; Amid Khoury, who was found not guilty of bribing a Georgetown University tennis coach to get his daughter admitted to the school and Miami police officer William Lozano, who was acquitted in the shooting death of Black motorcyclist Clement Lloyd. 

The acquittal later sparked riots in Miami in 1989.
