Not only that, but given the murderer's diplomatic immunity, Columbo had to have consulted with the California District Attorney so they could prepare the confession for him to sign on short notice so that the murderer's confession and waiver of his rights would stand up in court. One of the beautiful things about writing a Columbo episode is that Columbo does a hella-of-a-lotta "leg work" that we never actually see and only learn about and understand by context after the fact.

@johnfinnegan8474 Месяц назад

Sometimes he is working simultaneously on more than one case at a time. In one episode with Robert Culp as the murderer, Columbo mentions to another police officer he was up late I think it was, working on the "Hayward case", a reference to the case where Jackie Cooper played the senatorial candidate who murders his bodyguard.

If you had paid attention it wouldn’t matter because if he got off on a technicality he could get off the charges in the U.S. but he would then be sent back to his Home Country and put on trial there where they would either Execute him or send him to Prison to face hard labor

@ahapka Месяц назад

One big misconception about diplomatic immunity. It actually attaches to the country and not the person. Which means the home country can, and sometimes does, waive immunity.

@RainbowManification Месяц назад

It’s also not absolute, and is provided as a courtesy by the host country. In cases of serious crimes, the US state department can withdraw diplomatic immunity.

Barbara Colby and a colleague James Kiernan were shot in a parking area outside an acting class. She was dead immediately. Kiernan was able to tell the police two black men shot them unprovoked and without warning. He eventually died of his wound. Still today, 48 years later, it remains an unsolved mystery.

There was a similar type ending in another Columbo episode not to do with diplomatic immunity. In one of the later 90's episodes the killer kills a mob bookie and claims self-defence. So the mob boss who employed the bookie gives Columbo a choice, he will accept Columbo's justice in the courts but if the killer goes free he is going to send his own hit men after him to do the job. That forces the killer to confess.

@Phylaetra Месяц назад

One of the finer points of diplomatic immunity - the diplomat cannot himself renounce his diplomatic immunity, only his country's government can do that. Generally though - the diplomat would become persona non grata and be required to immediately leave. We didn't see it here - but the King could revoke his immunity, so maybe that is what happened.

@@teilanittvRight, because YOU cannot ‘figure out why’, and in your attempt to conceal your ignorance you throw out a cryptic reply, implying that you know something the poster does not. But in reality, you have no explanation and are just trying to deceive us into thinking you actually know why. Sometimes you just have to admit that you opened your mouth in a vain attempt to look important and knowledgeable when in fact, you are neither. Best to just remain silent after that, or better yet, skulk away after deleting your comment. Nice try though.

@martinfinn1550 Месяц назад

How is this title still up here? He did not walk free because of diplomatic immunity. He signed a confession admitting to the murder so his conviction is guaranteed. But if during his trial he decides to repudiate that confession and hire a top lawyer, he will be sent back to his own country where his conviction for the murder is a foregone conclusion.

@ent.8764 Месяц назад

Its an intentional subvertion of expectations - you come in expecting to see the murderer get away with it because of their diplomatic immunity, and this appears to be the case right until the end, when the king is revealed to have been listening to Hassan's admission of guilt

@martinfinn1550 Месяц назад

The only negative that I always had with the Colombo series is that we see the murder. I'm more of the type to look for the clues as a detective does like the movie Se7en(1st thing that came to mind)I still enjoyed it because the character so well written and acted.

@martinfinn1550 Месяц назад

That explains why Columbo's arrests don't lead to court trials. No need for them when we actually see the face of the killer near the start of the episode. The fun here is in watching how Columbo figures out who the killer is.

The title is misleading, he didn't walk free due to diplomatic immunity. This is like a "Hobson's Choice" episode. He could face to US justice system for the murder, but if he was somehow allowed to go free because he had a great lawyer, the Suarian king who appointed him in the first place would recall him home to stand trial for the murder he overhead him admitting to Columbo. Suppose he took that to a US court claiming the king was lying, who would they believe, him or the king?
