Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Mason tries to argue that his clients are entitled to more time for discovery, he cites a then-recent case: "Your Honor, I think the precedent agrees with me. Supreme Court Justice Sutherland, who wrote last year in Powell versus Alabama, that the accused, which my clients are, in a capital case, which this is, to have aid to counsel for his defense, which I am, includes the right to have sufficient time to advise with counsel and to prepare a defense is one of the fundamental rights of the due process clause, the 14th Amendment." The judge rejects this interpretation, snapping, "I'll take my chances on my interpretation of the definition of 'sufficient time' versus Justice Sutherland's." What go unmentioned but implied in this exchange are its racial implications; Powell v. Alabama (287 U.S. 45, 1932) is a watershed U. S. Supreme Court decision that reversed the unjust convictions of nine young Black men who had been falsely accused of raping two white women near Scottsboro, Alabama. It established the right of the accused to have sufficient in-court representation, and required that representation be given enough time to prepare a defense. The "Scottsboro 'Boys'" Case (as it was then universally known, even though four of the nine defendants were 18 or older and therefore no longer "boys") became a national and international flashpoint and cause célèbre in racial politics; by mentioning it, Mason is (inadvertently or not) likening his (Latino) defendants' situation to the injustice and racism faced by the Scottsboro defendants.
- GoofsWhen Perry and Delia visit Camilla Nygaard, she does a flip (tumble) turn in the pool as she does her laps. Presuming this is 1933, the year King Kong was released, to which Perry takes his son when he is staying, the flip turn had not yet been invented. Al Vande Weghe introduced it at the 1934 AAU nationals.

Featured review
Chapter Eleven
Chapter Eleven sees Perry Mason at his best. Shooting for the underdog in court. Trying to delay the trial date, get his clients protection in prison.
In Camilla Nygaard (Hope Davis) a business rival, Perry gets some background on Brooks McCutcheon. He made a catalogue of bad business decisions and ran up debt.
In Lydell McCutcheon, Perry meets a mean protective father who is determined not to tarnish his son's reputation. One man finds out how brutal Lydell is when he wants Brooks debts repaid.
Paul Drake reeling from being used by Strickland. Might have made a discovery that the Gallardo brothers might not be all that innocent.
There is a good mystery here, it does go at its own pace, a bit too leisurely for me. Perry confides in Della regarding Emily Dodson's death. Paul Drake's story has a bit more legs. It could all be disguising that the central mystery could be solved in less episodes.
