"A Scaffold for Two" was just an average listen (3 stars). But like so many episodes on Mystery Theater from the 1970s, the plot, news breaks and commercials are some times far more fascinating than the story itself. This episode seemed to be a retrospective on America's justice system. The subplot was a dead give away--in our justice system, we run the risk of getting things wrong to preserve the rights of the arrested. This episode aired over 20 years before the trials of Simpson, Peterson, Blake, Jackson, and Anthony--all of which are famous court cases in America that are heavily scrutinized. It makes me wonder what we will say after the Zimmerman trial???
