    Public Defender

    1 9 5 4 – 1 9 5 5 (USA)
    70 x 30 minute episodes

    Bart Andrews (Reed Hadley) was a public defender who took on the cases of indigent people.

    He was dedicated to uncovering the facts behind each case and did not prejudge his clients – just because they didn’t have the money for an attorney was no reason they shouldn’t receive a fair chance in court.

    Stories followed Bart’s case investigations.
