Perry Mason: The Case of the All-Star Assassin (1989)

A story that is so slow moving that only a soap opera actor could perform. That is exactly what the audience gets.

In Perry Mason: The Case Of The All Star Assassin, America's number one defense attorney gets involved in defending Jason Beghe, a star hockey player who is accused of shooting down Pernell Roberts, a George Steinbrenner like owner of both a hockey and basketball team in Denver. He's also got an interest in tennis in the person of tennis pro, Shari Belafonte.

A school friend of Ken Malansky, a former ice hockey champion called Bobby Spencer (Jason Beghe), is accused of killing sports tycoon Thatcher Horton (Pernell Roberts) whom he was suing for failing to look after him following an injury whilst playing a tournament. Spencer was overheard threatening Horton with violence after his case against him fell apart.
