Except until the 1890s the mere failure of the judge to explained to the jury it was both their right and duty to judge not only the facts of the case but the justice of the law which the defendant was charged, that failure alone was reason to onerturn the conviction
We got judges like that today , , , , talk , talk , talk , , , act tough , , , then release the defendant , , , how else does a guy get 4 , 5 , 6 and more DUI's before killing someone in a traffic accident ??? One thing for sure , , , the judge gets his paycheck , and it's top dollar !!
@@tarstarkuszI agree. The jury wasn't convinced of the defendant's guilt and made a decision. It happens from time to time. It was very unprofessional of that judge.
Dragnet was the great grandfather of all the cop shows. Everything from in house series Adam 12, to Rookies, Swat, TJ Hooker, Chips, Blue Bloods, etc. and Law and Order series.
I love this episode! The judge shellacked the jury but good! "You're either innately dishonest or you're all morons." I'd sure like to hear a judge blast present day yoyos to a cinder like that! The boss Captain Wisdom. Now there's a man to work for! 😊

"Butterfield & Kruschen" portrayed as a business burglarized by Buckley. Herb Butterfield and Jack Kruschen were part of Webb's stock company of actors. clever insert lol!
Did anyone catch it? One of the places robbed was Butterfield & Kruschen. The actor who played the chemist, Lee Jones, was named Herb Butterfield and another Dragnet regular was Toronto born Jack Kruschen. A little inside joke by the writers. Very cute.
this show was so intelligent. Presenting police/detective work as it usually was, hours/days of just plain deductive reasoning and 'pounding the beat'. Kept the theatrical violence to an absolute minimum, so different from modern era programs. One of the most obvious constants of this show, was in the episode titles... almost always, 'The Big___' was used. Also an idiosyncrasy of that era, but appropriate.
In the intro, "I'm a Cop" was changed to "I Carry a Badge" for the late 1960s Dragnet because the ever defensive Jack Webb heard "cop" being constantly used by critics of the police, so he felt it had taken on a negative connotation.
I'm a retired federal law enforcement officers, and you should hear how Federal judges talk in court. Usually the Prosecution knows better because they know the judge, but Defense attorneys often aren't that knowledgeable. the "scolding" that federal judges will give a defense attorney is something to behold. They say EXACTLY what they think and don't even try to be polite. I've had to bit the inside of my mouth to keep from laughing. they don't put up with ANYTHING. So, if they try to pull anything, the Judge will "ream" them. Federal judges have enormous powers so you do NOT want to get on their bad side.
@@arx754 Reminds me of the judge that would take off his pants and use his penis pump during cases. No one said anything for years because they didn't want to go to jail for contempt of court. Or the judge that had everyone in court arrested because 1 person's cell phone went off. That judge was eventually disciplined as was judge penis pump.
I used to watch these movies a long time ago about more like more than 18 years ago but when they first came out it was pretty good it still lives thanks for showing them keep bringing them thanks

Parley Baer. WOW!! One of the busier character actors in TV, and had to be close to the busiEST actor in radio. And his radio and TV careers ran concurrent. Which says one thing to me; not only was he good at his craft, but he also enjoyed doing it. I heard an interview in the very late years of his life, and he was a lovely man. Thank you for these.
jonesey65244 He lived until he was 90. He did the voice of the Keebler Elf in the Keebler spots for many years. A good hardworking character actor. There are so many wonderful character actors that get lost in the shuffle, the ones you can plug in anywhere!
Friday's partner for this episode, Barney Phillips, not only appeared as a Martian in the Twilight Zone series but as a TV repairman in " A Thing about Machines". Television sets were prone to breaking down due to their vacuum tubes. The sets were very large and heavy and it was easier for the repairman to come to the house than to take the set to the shop.
The judge was a fine character actor (Ralph Moody) who worked with Jack Webb on both TV versions. He is famous in Superman circles by being “The Wise Okatee” in the Test of a Warrior episode. I love his “complete morons” speech. However, it seems to me that he could have set the decision aside and ruled guilty. It’s been done before.
I'm a retired federal law enforcement officer and I have a J.D. (law) degree. they didn't need a warrant. Why would they? It's no different than planing an "ink bag" in with money stolen from a bank, so that the money---and robber--will be "stained". Please tell me how this is a violation of the rights of the perpetrator....
@@arx754 They went into his apt. and spread the cyclohexane on his burglar tools and clothes. Wouldn't you need a warrant for that nowadays? I don't know about the laws back in the '50s.
Yep, Mayor Stoner (Parley Baer), Ben Weaver (Tol Avery), and Fridays partner (Barney Phillips) was on 1 episode of Andy Griffith. I think the episode was " Barney gets his man". Phillips played Eddie Brooks, a escaped convict.
Why did nobody question the fact that he was living in a mansion? Back one week, and working as a journeyman carpenter, does not qualify you to own a mansion and buy a new car! I guess that we are to presume that the wife was the one with money.
Ralph Moody judge, Parley Baer attorney,Barney Phillips cop, Eddie Firestone defendant, Tol Avery capt. All were popular working actors. Baer was Chester on Gunsmoke radio for 400 episodes Moody+Phillips did many Gunsmoke radio episodes too. Firestone was a Capt in the Marines as well as attended Northwestern University
Fnu Lnu yeah so explain the people today who can’t go 5 minutes without smoking and KNOW there’s a connection to cancer. He didn’t. Well the modern geniuses will keep making a profit for companies who sell cancer drugs. Thanks.
LordZontar - So, you're hinting that the constant trail of lemon butter cookies was a dead giveaway? Also - little known fact - Jack Webb s One Quarter Native American.
Shanghai Benny II - this show was the closest thing to Noir on the tube. Hard Boiled banter, drastic camera angles, raining at night, sex, drugs & burgulary!
The takeaway I get: If you disagree with the judge, get ready for verbal attack you have heard since grade school. Second, EVERYONE smoked like it was a daily contest who went through the most packs! I bet Friday was a 3 pack a day guy!
There is a difference between the radio and TV versions. In the radio version you understand that Lee Jones is talking gibberish and that's probably why the guy got off. In the TV version you (the audience) see the glazed/disinterested looks on the jury's faces, so you figure its the jury's fault that he got off. The statement from the judge was actually said by the judge this case was based on.
Dragnet (on the radio) was sometimes rough; more graphic than anything before or after the golden age of radio. But Dragnet was (on TV) constantly at the mercy of the censors. Many of the episodes were watered down from their original radio script. The most telling I can recall was the radio episode "Claude Jimmerson: Child Killer" in which two little girls are raped and murdered. In the TV version "The Big Crime" Claude Jimmerson beats them up and molests them, but they were not murdered. (Listen to Jack Webb's introduction to the radio version. "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's episode is for you, NOT your children.") There was another episode on the radio in which a woman was found dead and crucified, with her feet and hands nailed to the floor and her corpse completely nude. In the TV version, her body was found offscreen shot to death.
Marvin Harrison Smith II I enjoy all forms of Dragnet, from the radio show to the 67 version. But I agree with your assessment that the radio version was far more graphic and violent in nature than than any of the tv versions. However I prefer the radio version above anything else. BTW, I've nevet heard of the episode where someone was crucified. Maybe I have but I don't recall it. Was it an episode when Ben Romero was Friday's partner or after? It seems to be based of the Black Dahlia murders...
I agree. People should get an Internet radio, like Tunin and look for DRAGNET and OTR they are a lot better than the TV. I think using our imagination is a better method
Nowadays, a judge might get removed from the bench, or at least censured, for a statement like that. Judges aren't supposed to care about the verdict, only the procedural integrity and fairness of the trial.
A some of us have posted that the man at 9:46 who comes through the door appears to have later played Ben Weaver, owner of Waver's Department Store in Mayberry. Remember the case of "The Old Lady Who Clinked?"
Two things I looked up: There have been an estimated 100 billion human beings who have lived their lives on this planet so that "1 trillion" figure is ten times that much. Also a "not guilty" verdict requires a 12-0 vote, just like a guilty verdict, (otherwise, you have a "hung jury"). So 12 people though that another one of a trillion people might have done the initial crime.
Wow the good old days when crims were sent to jail, at least some of the time. I was on a jury and what a mess. One of the young women said she just wanted to vote not guilty so she could go home and watch soap operas. And so we go down and down into more crime and chaos.
A defense attorney would object to all that probability math without a mathematician to verify it. Plus, all his numbers were being pulled out of the air. The attorney would win the objection. Nowadays, a judge might get removed from the bench, or at least censured, for a statement like that. Judges aren't supposed to care about the verdict, only the procedural integrity and fairness of the trial. I love how they don't mention a warrant to go into the apartment to plant the taggant. Ah, the good old days.......
lol No doubt. That's called an order of magnitude estimation. If one in a million stars has planets & one in a million of those has life & one in a million of those has intelligent life..... Carl Sagan can get away with that. Courts... They aren't real keen on any kind of estimate.
No commercials selling those damn Fatima and Chesterfield cigarettes on this channel. Thanks a million. I hate listening to those lying A-holes selling cancer sticks.
I don't know how any court would allow the cops to put invisible glowing chemicals on a person in his normal course of life. If I was on that jury, I'd have voted for acquittal.
"More than 50 000 major crimes were committed last year alone. That means 50 000 criminals" Only if each of the 50 000 criminal committed only one crime. Duh !
Captain: You two tail Buckley and his wife. I'll go check out his apartment. Sgt Friday: Don't you need a warrant signed by a judge to do that Captain? Captain: Check the calendar Joe, it's the 50's.
munstrumridcully no, about 15 years later. We were founded in the mid 70s, BoR in late 80s and not ratified until the early 90s. It took media in the last 60 years to help us understand our rights pertaining to our interation with the authorities. Many didn't fully get it in the first couple centuries and cops had an easier job catching criminals.
Andy Council Yes, that's what the miranda rule was about. My point is that search and seizure laws requiring a search warrant did exist since the 4th amendment. In fact, in another episode, a land lord asked Friday if he wanted to look in the suspect of the episodes apartment and Joe said no as he didn't have a search warrant and the landlord said that's all right with him and Friday said not with us. Fourth amendment search and seizure requiring warrants is about as old as the country. It is beside my point that many, even cops, may have been ignorant of the 4th protections, just that they existed. The founders made warrants required to avoid people's private possessions bring searched or seized without due process and a damned good reason.
Wow wool jacket in CA taps on size 8 shoes Small men in those days Crazy women's hats It's so funny to see them sitting in the jury looking so serious with those hats on.
Crazy someone looking at a life sentence would go back to stealing.if your going to steal at least rob a bank or something you can get enough to retire
A Judge who actually spoke his mind to the jury that so many want to but don't! In your face jury!
lol, the line was fire!
Yeah, our justice system needs a huge dose of that. "Either you are innately dishonest, or you're complete morons."
Except until the 1890s the mere failure of the judge to explained to the jury it was both their right and duty to judge not only the facts of the case but the justice of the law which the defendant was charged, that failure alone was reason to onerturn the conviction

It comes from the copper buttons worn by British police officers.

Originally broadcast 6/19/52. Eddie Firestone would be back as another thief, George Hoffman, in "The Big Break" (3/19/53).
Those were 1951 Fords being used. They should have been replaced by the new '52 models if this episode was broadcast in July of that year.
Nonetheless, that is the original broadcast date: www.imdb.com/title/tt0565827/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

The judge looks like a completely different person on the other side of the bench. He has played some pretty sleezy characters on other episodes.
So all (most) judges are sleazy characters!
@@MrPINKFL0YD -- In Massachusetts, most judges belong in jail. They literally buy their seats on the bench with campaign contributions.
That was about 1953...just imagine if that judge was time traveled into today's massively fkd up world...I don't know what he would think !
That attorney is the man that played Mayor Stoner on The Andy Griffith show.
Los Angeles SO needs Joe (Friday) back on duty.....................
He was an ex con, a 2 time loser. He was quilty from the get go.
doctorpissoff - B.b.b.uut, Your Honor! That wasn't my Get Go! Honest, it wasn't!
He was a punk .
I don't know how any court would allow the cops to put invisible glowing chemicals on a person in his normal course of life. If I was on that jury, I'd have voted for acquittal.
"More than 50 000 major crimes were committed last year alone. That means 50 000 criminals" Only if each of the 50 000 criminal committed only one crime. Duh !
Just watch the video lol
Crimes in Los Angeles were one to a customer, mister.
Good Job coppers !👍🏾👏🏾 they always get their man ! LOL 🙋🏽
Captain: You two tail Buckley and his wife. I'll go check out his apartment.
Sgt Friday: Don't you need a warrant signed by a judge to do that Captain?
Captain: Check the calendar Joe, it's the 50's.
Wow. Smoking inside the court room. 😮
Cyclohexane is not odor-less. It has a detergent-alike odor.
And not exactly "completely harmless" either!
For as much smoking going on, maybe they couldn’t smell it... thus assuming it was “odorless”
It also doesn't glow under UV light.
ya gotta love how these guys have never heard of the 4th amendment
Why would you apply contemporary standards to a 70-year-old show? What do you get out of it?

Eliezer Pennywhistler The fourth amendment is part of the bill if rights, it applied since the country was founded.
munstrumridcully no, about 15 years later. We were founded in the mid 70s, BoR in late 80s and not ratified until the early 90s. It took media in the last 60 years to help us understand our rights pertaining to our interation with the authorities. Many didn't fully get it in the first couple centuries and cops had an easier job catching criminals.
Andy Council Yes, that's what the miranda rule was about. My point is that search and seizure laws requiring a search warrant did exist since the 4th amendment. In fact, in another episode, a land lord asked Friday if he wanted to look in the suspect of the episodes apartment and Joe said no as he didn't have a search warrant and the landlord said that's all right with him and Friday said not with us.
Fourth amendment search and seizure requiring warrants is about as old as the country. It is beside my point that many, even cops, may have been ignorant of the 4th protections, just that they existed. The founders made warrants required to avoid people's private possessions bring searched or seized without due process and a damned good reason.
Wow wool jacket in CA
taps on size 8 shoes
Small men in those days
Crazy women's hats
It's so funny to see them sitting in the jury looking so serious with those hats on.
Listen to the Dragnet Radio shows. Most all the descriptions of men are short and not heavy.
By the time you need your clothes again they will be out of style LOL
Or they would have gone out of style and come back in again!
Jack Webb WAS a 3 pack a day smoker could not get through a 30 min. show without a smokie .
Since 1984 L.A. has been the second largest city after NYC.

Sgt joe Friday brought me here badge 714

Crazy someone looking at a life sentence would go back to stealing.if your going to steal at least rob a bank or something you can get enough to retire
at one time, Los Angeles was pronounced as, " loss ang geh lees"
as demonstrated by the bailiff at 6:29
ehh - I'm just here for Barney Phillips - no special reason - doesn't do much as Jacobs besides react - I just kinda like his face
You are correct. Barney Phillips has a long list of accomplishments as character actor.. Thanks for giving him some exposure.
Nice digs in Beverly Hills for carpenter.
These days that judge would be taken off the bench for saying that!
Everyone was smoking!!!! My oh my how times have changed!!!
Looks like the captain are too many 🍩 🍩. LOL.
WOW! Smoking in the court house
Can you imagine a judge saying that?
With the amount of smoking everywhere, everyone must have smelled of cigarettes … UGH
Judge call the jury "complete morons"? WOW!
