Perry, Andy And Otis

I was flipping through the channels and Perry Mason was on. I've never been a regular (the theme song scared me when I was a kid), but I stopped.

The expert on the stand intrigued me. I felt I couldn't trust him. Then I realized why. He was played by Hal Smith, better known as Otis Campbell, town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show. Who could believe anything he says?

(I'll say one thing for Perry Mason, he's got the best possible strategy a defense lawyer can have--get the real criminal to admit he did it.)
