Episode 416 - Sherlock Holmes Was No Burglar

It's Tupper Bigelow for the defense as he proves that Sherlock Holmes was not a burglar.

“I have always had an idea that I would have made a highly efficient criminal” [CHAS]

In some cases, Sherlock Holmes was a bit of a vigilante in his pursuit of justice. He didn't mind breaking the law in a good cause. That led to him burgling various households.

Or did it? S. Tupper Bigelow, BSI ("The Five Orange Pips") was a lawyer by trade and disabuses us of the notion that Sherlock Holmes was a burglar. Some of it is a mere technicality, but it's all a Trifle.
