Witness for the Prosecution was Episode 3 of Season 4 of the CBS series Lux Video Theatre. This was an anthology series comprising 30 minute episodes of stand-alone drama and comedy. This is the second CBS adaptation of this story, the first having been produced in 1950. Like the previous adaptations of this Agatha Christie work, this was likely based on her short story The Witness for the Prosecution as Christie's own stageplay adaptation had not been written yet. The episode was broadcast on 17 Sep 1953 and is not known to have survived.
