MISS SUSAN {THE REVOLVER USED TO MURDER ANDREA IS FOUND} (TV)
Summary
One in this series about the life of a wheelchair-bound attorney named Susan Martin, who resides in Martinsville, Ohio. In this episode, Susan meets with District Attorney A.F. Miles about the case against Henry Benson, who is on trial for murdering Andrea Blake. Susan argues that Benson should be released for lack of evidence, but Miles refuses to give in to her argument. Miles's case is based on the fact that Benson cannot produce his revolver and that a gun found recently may be the murder weapon. Meanwhile, Mrs. Benson keeps her husband company in his cell. Henry comments on how much she has changed since Andrea's death. At the end of the program, Susan assures Joan, the Bensons' daughter, that once the recently found gun is proven to be the murder weapon, her father will be released from prison. However, it turns out that proving this fact only incriminates her client more. Includes commercials.
