Based on actual case files, this primetime courtroom drama – a spin-off from the popular daytime show Day in Court – aired on ABC from 31 December 1958 to 30 September 1959.
Realism was the order of the day, and while the defendants and witnesses were actors (usually obscure ones), the defence and prosecution attorneys were real-life lawyers.
The court was mostly presided over by Edgar Allan Jones Jr, who had a law degree from the University of Virginia and was a member of the UCLA law faculty.
Violet Gilmore was the Court Reporter and Announcer.
Accused was produced by Selig J. Seligman, a former State Department attorney and ABC-TV Vice President, who kept a whole staff of lawyers and law students busy digging through court records and law books to provide authenticity for the show.
