Goofs
The murder weapon is a Thompson Contender. It is a single shot weapon which does not eject its cartridge. During the episode, the cartridge is introduced as evidence in the trial, which would have been very unlikely. Later in a scene the gun is used by an assassin with rapid fire, which isn't possible with this weapon.

The case of the skin Deep scandal

The owner of a cosmetics company (Morgan Fairchild) is unveiling a new cream which she claims she's been using. She's been keeping her age a secret and now reveals that she's 60 and owes her appearance to the cream. She's later killed and the formula missing. Her husband (Patrick Neal) is arrested and Perry defends him.

Morgan Fairchild ramps it up, chewing the scenery as a queen bee, and rubbing people the wrong way, and that obviously that means she becomes the victim. She has a fair share of people wanting to do her in, such as David Warner. The usual incident occurs - it's fun, but the first half featuring Morgan is the best part.
