Target: The Corruptors (TV Series) The Blind Goddess (1962) User Reviews

A powerful episode.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 18 July 2023]

Probate Judge Andrew Leroy together with his administrator Dolan, have an effective but abominable setup, fleecing mothers and orphans out of their estates and inheritance, Marino takes it very personally, and aims to end their racket.

I'm not sure why, but it seems that this show is really ending with a flourish, talk about hitting ita stride, I was impressed with the previous episode, this one had me on edge, surely a contender for best in show.

There are all sorts of twists and turns here, and some truly interesting ideas, The Judge having to take on another Judge idea is interesting. Marino's opening introduction hit the spot, and the idea of a crooked Judge, one of the most powerful forces in the land, that worked very well.

It's one of the first times we get to see The Corruptors conflicted about their actions, generally the bad guys are free of conscience, but both Leroy and Dolan have a few moments where they question their own actions.

This was excellent.

9/10.

One brilliant expose about hood magistrates.

The story begins with the focus on an ambitious judge - Madonald Carey - who has City Hall and governor as goals; a judge who has a plane accident because he was drunk. Then the newspaper investigator McNally comes to see him and brings with him proofs that the judge was involved by fraud and swindle about probation records in court; false judgments that spoiled many families. And because if this treachery, one poor victim took her own life. This time, you have understood that the corruptors are scavengers in court, instead out of the court, as we usually see. Some poignant scenes, such as this one of a poor woman with her mute daughter, both victims of the rotten magistrates. You have here an unusual evil guy as Madonald Carey taking advantage over a poor deaf mute child.

Directed by Arthur Hiller.

The Blind Goddess

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 15 July 2023]

It is a very angry Paul Marino who introduces this instalment of Target: The Corruptors.

It is a complex case of Beneficiaries from the deceased estates swindled very legally out of their inheritances. It is also mixed with party politics. The money finds itself in political donations.

Judge Andrew Leroy is a crooked probate judge. When someone dies, he somehow gets the beneficiary to be legally incapacitated.

An executor of the estate is appointed and they take the money, it can be misspent. The heirs get nothing.

Marino investigates when a beneficiary ended up killing herself. Now he finds that Judge Leroy and his cronies plan to swindle a disabled woman who needs the money. Her father ensured in his lifetime that his daughter will be looked after when he died. He did not bank on the likes of Judge Leroy.

It was interesting to learn of this ploy. It was notable how deep these people had got into the corruption. Some people like Dolan wanted to pull back but their were henchmen who would not let you leave alive.
