MISTAKES/GOOFS

TRIVIA

Edwin Poole is heard saying that he considers the fictional lawyer, Perry Mason, as his hero. In one case, Poole says that he will do the closing argument stating that Perry Mason always did well in his closing arguments. While Mason might have been a great closer, he rarely if ever got that far during a trial or in most cases the hearings which were featured in the episodes as he usually managed to coerce the guilty party into admitting their guilt on the stand.
