Before Law & Order. there was Arrest and Trial, NBC's groundbreaking 1960s series starring Ben Garraza and Chuck Connors. Truly ahead of its time, Arrest and Trial was a 90 minutes show combining elements of police procedural and courtroom drama. In this first half of each episode, Sgt. Nick Anderson (Garrara) of the LAPD tracked down and arrested a suspect. In the second half, Defense Attorney John Egan (Connors) fought to exonerate the accused.
Arrest & Trial featured many of televisions' best actors. This 3 DVD Box Set, faithfully reproduced from the original NBC masters, includes nine episodes of Arrest & Trial. They include guest turns by Kim Hunter (Some Weeks Are All Mondays), James Whitmore (My Name is Martin Burnham), George Segal (He Ran For His Life), Anne Francis (The Witnesses), Macdonald Carey (Those Which Love Has Made), Michael York (A Circle of Strangers) and more, written by some of Hollywood's finest writers, including Larry Cohen (Branded, Phone Booth.)
