Season 1, episode 20. The Enterprise encountered an ion storm that left the ship damaged and crew member Finney dead. They headed for Star Base 11 for some repairs and Kirk filed the report of Finney's death. Portmaster Stone wanted to see the ship's log and Spock brought it to him so Stone could verify what happened and why Kirk ordered the Enterprise to jettison out of there. The computer log showed that Kirk fled out of there too soon and that Kirk is responsible for the death of Finney. Kirk claims that is not what happened and explains it to Stone but Stone called for a court hearing to court-martial Kirk based on the ship's log. Spock is using his logic to figure out what happened to the computer while Kirk's lawyer is trying hard to prove Kirk's innocence to the court. The answer to what really happened lies in the question "what happened to Finney?".
An interesting episode that shows how video and even computers can be easily manipulated to make the guilty look innocent and the innocent look guilty. Logical but quick thinking is needed in cases like these.
7.5/10.
