Rivaling Perry Mason with over the top court theatrics, Edward G goes above and beyond the realms of believability of courtroom procedures. Even Mason would not try the three stunts that Robinson pulls in this entertaining courtroom drama. The storyline is a bit unusual in the beginning; a rising DA's career is sidetracked by sending an innocent man to the chair (none other than Bones from Star Trek). After his disgrace, he has to be content taking big fees to get connected crooks off with light or no sentences. But his conscience gets the better of him and he tries to go straight again. Entertaining, but not too believable. Weak script is main culprit.
