Executive Producer.......Dorothy Crawford
Script Editors.......Tom Hegarty & Phil Freedman
Synopsis: Homicide detectives are involved in a painstaking search for a pervert who
molests and murders young girls. It takes eight months to bring a man to trial, but is he
the right man, and if so, is he responsible for his actions?
Notes: 2 hour episode. Second of two 'Homicide Trial' episodes, featuring a courtroom
follow-up. Screened at the later time of 8:30 PM - the airdate was brought
forward and the episode was shown soon after completion. Hector Crawford introduced the
episode warning viewers that it portrays 'ugly crimes' and therefore parents may not wish
their children to see it. However, he also stated to the press that he believed every
child should see it to possibly prevent further crimes of that nature occurring. Due to
the length of the episode requiring it to be split over two reels of 2-inch video tape,
it is officially listed as two separate episodes, 363 'The Rape Of Lennie Walker' and 363A
'Trial'.

Synopsis: Misfortune strikes the Carter family, and neurotic mother Valerie Carter is
suspected of having beaten her daughter Jeanie to death because of a nightmare in which
she sees spiders crawling all over the girl.
Notes: One scene used live spiders crawling over actress Eileen Chapman. The spiders in the sequence were obtained from Monash University.
"I was worried," said Eileen, "but after we had checked with Monash
University and found the spiders are harmless I was a little reassured. I talked myself
into it and was ready by the day of filming - but the spider was a very lively one and
this did not cheer me up much!"

months for his part in a $100,000 opal robbery, has dreamed of his release - the time he
can collect his share of the proceeds and settle down with his girlfriend, Carol Finch.
She is not all that bright, and has been working as a barmaid and saving for when they can
set up somewhere new. But the day of Johnno's release turns his dream into a nightmare.
One member of the gang is shot dead after apparently being tortured. Carol has received no
money. And then the body of the gang leader is found in the bay. Johnno's time in prison,
protecting the identities of the others, seems to have been in vain.
Mysterious phone calls lead the Homicide Squad into a desperate race to
prevent his death.

Synopsis: Two criminals are arrested by Det. Kelly for the murder of a young constable. While being charged in the city watch-house an argument occurs. Kelly, after being up all night, is in no mood for nonsense and following threats from one of the criminals a fight breaks out. Later, one of the criminals, Howard Nelson, murders another inmate, Edward Palmer, and blames Kelly for the death due to injuries received from the previous fight. A resulting inquiry threatens Kelly's career.
Notes: John Waters' performance in this episode brought him to the attention of ABC
producer Oscar Whitbread who subsequently cast him as Sgt. McKellar in Rush. The set for the watch-house was reputed to be the largest, most complex and most expensive set ever built thus far for a Homicide episode.
