Various episodes where losing a case was a rarity for Matlock, but he has had the occasion to correct that, as with Lester Matthews (Matlock: The Convict (1987)), when Lester was tried for murdering a fellow inmate. Another one he lost was when Ken Wilson was arrested for killing his wife (Matlock: The Black Widow (1989)). It took Matlock's client seven years for him to get out of custody. After his release, he was accused a second time, hence, his lawyer traveled to Los Angeles to reopen the case, a second time. He was found innocent. The third case he lost was to Dave Travis (Matlock: The Pro (1990)), who was then convicted for killing Victor Tomasio. There was also (Matlock: The Brothers (1990)) where Matlock lost the case when he got the other brother to admit to being involved in the murder and subsequently telling where the defendant was & his involvement. Matlock won in that he caught the killers but albeit in a different way that wouldn't break client-lawyer privilege as well as living up the agreement he'd made earlier to his client to defend him.
