Raymond Burr's right arm is injured and is hidden under his coat. At the beginning of the story, it is not in the coat sleeve but under the coat. This also can be seen when he is sitting at the defense table. The camera never shows his right arm. Closeups of his face are used when he is in the scene, or, as in the final scene, his right arm is hidden (behind Gary Collins).
There was no need to conceal this, because his "accident" was referred to by Mignon Germaine at about 15:40.
