Public Eye: Case For The Defence (ITV 27 Aug 1969, Billy Hamon)

Published

on


In Case For The Defence Frank is working in a supermarket stacking shelfs following the debacle at the builders yard where he was accused of theft; There is a bright spot on the horizon though when Detective Broome tells him he can get him a job with a private detective agency and has already cleared it with Marker’s probation officer.

His first case is a carry over from episode three’s Paid In Full with young Barry Osborne, who shared a police car with Marker in that episode, up on a murder charge. His solicitor and Osborne’s dad want Marker to come up with evidence to reduce the charge to manslaughter.

Case For The Defence is also one of the very few occasions when Frank has the use of a car albeit one that he is using to find out information from the garage where Barry committed the murder.
