Thomas Jefferson defends an Indian chief against a murder charge. He must battle the local sheriff and the prevailing attitudes of the time to get justice for an innocent man.

This was an interesting listen and kind of reminded me of the Lincoln as a lawyer episode. A good one to listen to.

Certain that the beautiful Louisa is in love with half-breed Jeremy Morgan, Carter McAllister, enraged with jealousy, murders him and then accuses Morgan’s uncle, Chief Blue Cloud. The Shawnee chief hires his good friend, Thomas Jefferson, a highly respected Virginia lawyer, to defend him. Jefferson’s main argument to the jury is his credo that all men are created equal and regardless of ethnic background are entitled to a fair trial.

A good story, and it does pair well with the Lincoln episode. Not a Trump, though. That’s crooked! Like Nixon in CBSMRT news reels from 1973. History does repeat itself!
