Richard Gerstein

Richard E. Gerstein (September 5, 1923, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – April 26, 1992, Miami, Florida) was an American lawyer and six-term State Attorney for Miami-Dade County. He is perhaps best known for obtaining the first conviction in the Watergate scandal, of Watergate burglar Bernard Barker, and uncovering the first connections between the botched burglary and President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign.
