Brian Keith stars as Judge Milton C. Hardcastle, and I remember watching a few episodes of Hardcastle and McCormick when it when it debuted back in 1983. It's hard to believe Hardcastle and McCormick debuted over 40 years ago, yes four decades ago, wow.
I remember in this episode Judge Hardcastle admonishing a police officer for trying to read the Miranda rights from memory, so he pulled out the card with the wording for the officer to read, giving the impression that if Miranda rights aren't read word for word, then the accused can get off on a "technicality".
Anyway, this was the first of 200 files for the Judge to fix up.
