Ron Kuby Biography

Ron Kuby is one of the most popular and richest Radio Personality who was born on July 31, 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Ronald L. Kuby, born July 31, 1956, is an American radio talk show host, television commentator and lawyer in the areas of criminal defense and civil rights. He also hosted radio programs for Air America and WABC Radio in New York.

In 1983, Kuby received his Juris Doctor degree from Cornell Law School. Kuby declined an invitation to join the Cornell Law Review because of his grades. He was one of the best students in his class.

Kuby was born in Cleveland, Ohio. His father, who died in 1990, was a Franciscan monk who converted to Judaism and became a militant Zionist before becoming Christian again. His parents divorced when he was five years old, after which Kuby lived with his mother. At 13, he joined the Jewish Defense League under the influence of his father, who was a follower of Meir David Kahane. As a teenager he emigrated to Israel, but returned to the U.S. after being disillusioned by what he describes as “anti-Arab racism”.

After Kunstler’s death, Kuby continued the work of his late mentor. In 1996, he won a judgment of $43 million for Darrell Cabey against Bernhard Goetz in connection with the 1984 New York City Subway shooting. He also won nearly a million dollars for members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club who were wrongfully arrested by the New York City Police Department. He won the 2001 release of two men imprisoned 13 years, for a murder they did not commit, and a judgment of $3.3 million for the pair. He secured a reversal of a murder conviction for a mentally ill homeless man whose candle accidentally caused the death of a firefighter. In 2005, Kuby won close to a million dollars for another wrongfully convicted man who spent eight years in prison.

Kuby interned at William Kunstler while in college. Kunstler was a senior lawyer with over 20 years of experience and is known for his extraordinary cases, including the defense of The Chicago Seven. Kuby was an unofficial partner of Kunstler’s law office from 1983 to Kunstler’s passing in 1995. Both men took up the “fight for the poor, oppressed, and the downtrodden” between those times. Both men stated that they were more than just colleagues. They were also best friends.

He returned to Cleveland, where he lived for several years in a commune. He briefly attended an alternative accredited high school in 1973. He attended Cleveland State University for a year after graduating.

In 1974, Kuby left college and moved to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. There he worked as a tugboatman and became interested in West Indian ethnobotany. In 1975, he moved to Kansas, and in 1975, he received his degree in cultural anthropology, as well as history, from the University of Kansas. Kuby was an anti-apartheid activist and free-speech advocate while at KU. He graduated with the highest distinction and had a 4.0 grade. After returning to St. Croix many times, he conducted original fieldwork including the 1979 “Folk Medicine on St. Croix: An ethnobotanical Study”. Kuby claimed that Kansas University police deliberately broke his arm during an anti-apartheid protest at a commencement ceremony. Protesters demanded that the KU Endowment Association sell its investments in South African companies.

Kuby, with Kunstler, represented Gregory Lee Johnson, a protester who burned a U.S. Flag at the 1984 Republican National Convention; Sheikh Omar Abdel- Rahman, the blind cleric who headed the Egyptian-based militant group Al- Gama’a al-Islamiyya, accused of planning and encouraging terrorist attacks against Americans; Colin Ferguson, the man responsible for the 1993 Long Island Rail Road shooting (who chose to represent himself at trial); Nico Minardos, the Hollywood TV and movie actor, accused in an FBI sting operation of conspiracy to ship arms to Iran; Qubilah Shabazz, the daughter of Malcolm X, accused of plotting to murder Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam; Glenn Harris, a New York City public school teacher who absconded with a 15-year-old girl for two months; Darrell Cabey, a youth who was acquitted of assault on Bernard Goetz and successfully sued Goetz for shooting Cabey; Yu Kikumura, a member of the Japanese Red Army; and associates of the Gambino Crime Family. During the Gulf War, the pair represented American soldiers claiming conscientious objector status. They also represented El Sayyid Nosair, assassin of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, whom Kuby’s father had admired, and the leftist radical turned health care activist Dr. Alan Berkman.
