This is another good episode from season one and this just happens to be the first show from 1958.
It involves a sweet girl named Nadine (Christine White) who is a niece of a terrible old ogre named Uncle Martin Wellman (Alexander Campbell). When she tells her uncle that she is engaged to John Locke, he becomes upset basically telling her that she was no good and shows her some paperwork (we do not know what is in those papers at that time) but it makes her cry.
Her uncle has made her feel so bad that she is thinking about suicide and places some poison pills in her purse. However the poison gets into her uncle's milk and the old man dies. Later she goes to a shrink that gives her some 'truth serum' and she says she killed Uncle Martin. And Perry is defending her with a wide range of evidence against her.
There are bottles, tapes and lead shots all over the courtroom which makes the case interesting. Just when you think you know who killed Uncle Martin you find out that you were wrong.
This is a good watch for us Perry viewers. Even if we know that a confession under doctor induced drugs could never be introduced into evidence in any courtroom.
