Robbery detail. After a criminal has been brought to justice, a detective’s job isn’t done until his day in court.
Join Joe Friday and partner Ed Jacobs, as they sit in on court proceedings. Testimony is given from the wife of the robbery victim. She shares details of how the defendant robbed her husband at gunpoint. She describes the activity, what was said, the timeline of events, and who was present.
A recess before cross examination, gives Joe and Ed time to take a break and discuss the crime. In voiceover, Joe goes into deeper details of the crime, and his confidence in whether they have a solid case. The preliminary court passes the case to the next level in the justice system, but the detective’s still have work to do.
In voiceover, Joe continues to describe the evidence against the defendant, and more courtroom action is presented. The cross examination finds weaknesses in testimony. Joe’s voiceover speeds the proceedings along, and tells how ballistics and other evidence supports the case. Despite all the favorable points, the case could be lost if police can’t locate a missing sailor. When he is located on his station on Midway Island, his commander sends the Seaman First Class back to testify in court.
