A popular TV series in the late 1950's, "Lock-Up" dramatizes how innocent citizens can be accused and punished for serious crimes, and that a thorough investigation - without prejudice, is the unalienable right of every citizen. The inspiration for these weekly stories (78 episodes from 1959 through 1961), came from the personal files and case histories of prominent, PhiIadelphia lawyer, Herbert L. Maris, a man who strongIy beIieved in the major canon of American jurisprudence: That we are alI presumed innocent untiI proven guilty. Starring MacDonaId Carey as Herbert L. Maris, Esq., each half hour episode portrays the attorney as a man "who has devoted his Iife to saving the innocent."
