Just for fun (and accurate on the theme song, linked below)
How many criminal cases did Perry Mason, portrayed by Raymond Burr, lose? I didn’t know until recently.
Everyone knows he lost one. On the web, you can read it was either two or three. On the Carson show, Burr said three, and I figure he’s the person that should know.
When the series first came out, my mom never missed an episode. After moving to Lancaster, the show was on from 12:05 to 1:05, so I went home for lunch every day to watch it. I learned a trick from Perry Mason that I used in court, which always worked without fail. Only one attorney called me on it. It didn’t help him, though.
Heck, I even taped the theme song and played it as I walked down the hall toward the courtroom to try a case.
