Perry Mason didn't win every case. In fact, at least three decisions went against him: season six, episode twenty-eight, "The Case of the Witless Witness", began with a judgment being handed down against Perry at the beginning. This was his only loss that was not reversed. The other two losses were overturned. In season one, episode thirty-eight, "The Case of the Terrified Typist", a jury returns a guilty verdict against Perry's client, giving Hamilton Burger goose bumps thinking he'd finally beaten Mason. Alas, Perry is still able to clear the defendant. Mason's most famous "loss" occurred in season seven, episode four, "The Case of the Deadly Verdict" The show uncharacteristically opened in the courtroom. A decision is being handed down. Perry's client is found guilty of murdering her aunt for money. To pump up interest in this particular case, which ran in October 1963, teasers were released to the press that in September, the official beginning of the 1963 to 1964 season, Will Perry lose his biggest case ever? It also pointed out that the big question was, can "Perry and his client reverse the circumstances just before the final commercial?" They did, of course.
