I can't disagree with the other reviewers. This character just begged for eternal release. Just a few questions, though, in no particular order: 1) Moulage (plaster of Paris models of tire tracks). Lt. Drum testified that theirs was a print of the defendant's tires, and that "His truck" was the one seen driving away from the crime scene. I've seen this logic before, and unless the prosecution can establish that THIS truck had custom tires, there were probably about six or seven (or only GOD knows) thousand new Ford pickups with the same tires on their rims. 2) How did they know that the monkey wrench in question belonged to the defendant? It's a beautiful tool, but how did they come to know that it was his? 3) WHO WAS the sniper? Unless the guilty party was a world class runner,could climb stairs to the position taken, and then draw a bead on Klee, it couldn't have been him. If the old man couldn't get on the property, who could? 4) We were finally spared the indignity of a defendant who was stupid, arrogant,ridiculous, stupid, loudmouthed, and a moron. Best is an underrated actor, and I was very pleased to see him occupy the part of Perry's client without being an idiot. 5) Yes, yes, it's difficult to reconcile the lovely Gloria Talbott married to that geezer, but it DOES give us other geezers hope, doesn't it? Okay, fine; only in our dreams, because unless you've got a few million bucks, you'll NEVER get a babe like Gloria. 6) I've noticed that Barbara's hair is always stylish and never seems to be dated (maybe I'm too old !! ??, however, I've also noticed the other brunettes who appear on Perry also have remarkably beautiful styles. Apart from the fact that this show has some impossibly beautiful female actors, this stylist is top of the field. Is there an award for this art? 7) Oh, yeah.. Barbara and Gloria have GOT to be two of the most beautiful ... oh, well.... Okay, I checked, and the stylist's name is Annabelle. She was in her sixties when this episode was filmed, but had a very young approach to the fashion of the day; to say nothing of the fact that it is still very relevant today.
