homicide 'from the top' / 'trial'

Pamela Stephenson stars in this special double-length episode of Homicide first shown Monday 20 March 1972 between 7:30-9:30 pm under the general name Homicide Trial. It also stars Anne Haddy and the early 70s Crawfords standby of Syd Conabeare. 

Here is PS with I think Norman Kaye. 

Surely a Leonard French stained glass window in the foyer of the building PS' character (Georgina Pearce) has an apartment in, in which she is a fancy prostitute with a junkie boyfriend. 
Presumably the outside of the same building as above, the owners of which had no problem with it being represented as not having many tenants but one of them is a prostitute whose junkie boyfriend is thrown off the roof. 
Anne Haddy is the junkie boyfriend's mother. She only has a few scenes but she's excellent of course. 
Got to love a bit of Syd Conabeare. 

The episode has a lot more room to breathe than your normal Homicide. Quite a few deviations.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
