   I can answer that:  they do not tell audience the verdict.  The episode closes   
   with the lawyers' statements to the jury.   
      
   A physician had testified that the brain tumor could have caused physical   
   damage so that the man was insane during the commission of the crime.  But the   
   defense didn't seem to run with that very well.   
      
   A L&O SVU had a similar theme.  Turned out a principal involved with a kid had   
   a huge brain tumor that would've gotten her off the hook.  However, there were   
   other issues.  The kid's mother was an alcoholic, brilliant portrayed.

   I think he did a few of them.  So did Robert Duvall.

   I saw one episode that I think used a private bus's interior rather than a 'TA   
   bus interior.  Probably a heck of a lot easier to rent the private bus.  (As   
   an aside, in Phila, PTC and PSTC were glad to rent charter buses, as was   
   SEPTA, until the Feds    
   ordered them to stop; trains only.)   
      
      
   I think Naked City would be far too cerebral to be aired today.   Glad you're   
   enjoying it.   
      
      
   Not part of Naked City,b ut a great movie is A Catered Affair with Ernest   
   Borgnine and Bette Davis, about a taxi driver faced with paying for a huge   
   wedding his daugther doesn't even want.  Davis was fantastic as a poor working   
   class mom.  Not everybody    
   had money in the 1950s.
