The Defenders - Nevada v. Rodgers

This was unfortunately one of the average episodes of The Defenders.  It's main story begins with a desperate father imploring Nick to defend his son who has been charged with attempted murder after he was the driver for two men who shot and killed one man and injured an off-duty policeman.  He says they asked him to drive them to the bar so they could collect the debt and he didn't know they were going to kill anyone.  You'd think this star kid would be grateful for what his father is doing for him but he is full of attitude which makes it difficult to like him or trust if he is telling the truth.  Because the police have had someone hurt, they try some intimidation tactics with the jury and with Nick so they can secure a conviction.  This gave this story a depth of drama which the second story sort of took away.  It was about someone who steals Elvis' Blue Suede Shoes!  He is caught red handed (or should I say blue footed!) and he did do it, but Pete works out a way to minimise his punishment due to extenuating circumstances.  A bit of a pointless addition to this episode bringing it back to average.
