What about if the prosecution is unjust?

Whoops. Don't forget the old Perry Mason show. Luckily for Perry, the LAPD was never able to arrest the real murderer once in all the years that show ran.Originally posted by asleepathewheel

And somehow I had forgotton of Perry Mason...

It wasn't cancelled. Rather, the lame-ass show "Grey's Anatomy" took its spot, pushing the remaining episodes until next season of 26 episodes.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
I believe that show got canceled. Shatner was great though
. Though I hardly saw it

Same goes for cooking sitcoms, except for "Chef" which was absolutely true to form.

The most realistic one I have seen is a canadian one called "This is Wonderland". It is set in the Toronto provincial courthouse and follows 3-4 defense lawyers in what they do. The crimes are not glamorous, he lawyers are not all brilliant and the judges often ignore the strict rules of evidence if they are in a particularly crotchety mood.
The dockets are crowded, most of the clients are somewhat unlikable and spinning a deal to keep a wife-beater out of jail serves as a victory. also the main character is a young wet behind the ears lawyer who gets tossed a dozen cases on her first day when she still doesn't have a clue and she makes mistakes as she goes along.
No big names and not a high budget show butI found most of it to be pretty real . . . particularly the bits where judges ignore troublesome things like proper procedure
This is Wonderland
Second Season Premieres
Tuesday January 25, 2005 at 9:00 p.m.
The second season of THIS IS WONDERLAND continues to explore the highly charged world of the lower criminal courts, promising a painfully funny, gut-wrenching portrait of the complex tales of human drama which unfold daily in the seething crucible of Canada's busiest courthouse. As in season one, the lawyers, judges, criminals and court workers portrayed on the show need all of their emotions-their humour, compassion, anger and even disbelief-to make sense of the intense subject matter at play within the walls of Toronto's Old City Hall.
Season two finds Alice (Cara Pifko), James (Michael Healey), Elliot (Michael Riley) and Nancy (Siu Ta)-the principals of the show's rich ensemble cast of characters-coming together to start their own firm. Former articling student Nancy has now passed her bar admissions exams and is a practicing lawyer. Additional returning cast members include Michael Murphy as Judge Fraser, Tom Rooney as Crown David Kaye, Kathryn Winslow as Crown Pamela Menon, Eric Peterson as Judge Malone and Yanna McIntosh as Duty Counsel Zona Robinson.
New cast regulars this season include Jayne Eastwood (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), an original member of Toronto's Second City comedy troupe, who joins the cast as Rondelle "Ronnie" Sacks, Elliot's mother and the firm's receptionist. Also joining the cast is Angela Vint (Traders) as Crown Tamara Rogan.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

The Wire (on HBO) is pretty realistic, but it's a cop drama, so the realism is in terms of things like prerequisites for wiretaps, and legality of evidence. Not what you're looking for.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

Maaaatlooock!!!Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
