This is one of the better episodes from the first season. It's about a mentally challenged woman who witnesses a bum getting run down and killed by a car and the episode revolves around whether the woman is competent enough to be a witness at the trial.
There's no mystery here as we know who the guilty party is right from the beginning. The only question is whether the woman will be able to withstand the grilling she's going to face from the defense lawyers on the witness stand.
Logan Ramsey really steals the show as the conniving lawyer, and Dennis Patrick, who excelled at playing villains throughout the '70s, is really good here too as the ruthless father.
All in all, a very good episode.
