Blind Justice' recalls bizarre Pittsburgh case By Kay Gardella New York Daily News What happened to Robert Dillen shouldn't happen to any law-abiding citizen. His bizarre story first appeared in The Pittsburgh Press in 1979. For "Blind Justice," tomorrow's fact-based CBS film at 9 p.m., his name is changed to Jim Anderson, with Tim Matheson in the role. There's no question it could happen, because it did to an innocent professional photographer who lived in Point Breeze and Dormont during the time in question, and who lost 18 months out of his life from May 1979 to October 1980 -because of an almost unbelievable nightmare of mistaken identity. According to his attorney, Dillen had been arrested, charged and then cleared 13 times in five Western Pennsylvania counties for armed robberies, kidnappings and r**e, all involving drive-in photo centers.

He spent almost $30,000 in legal fees, went through four trials and saw his marriage dissolve. He now lives in a town near Atlanta, where he operates a photography studio. Frank Jeziorski of Beechview was arrested in October 1980. onvicted of the crimes and given REVIEW a 35-70 year prison term. Although "Blind Justice" has a low-budget look in terms of production values, it's the kind of story that grabs a viewer.

Told in flashback, the tense Anderson is seen driving in a storm, reflecting on the grueling experience he has suffered. "I'm not coming back," he tells his father during a phone call. It's understandable. Happily married for a year to Cathy (Mimi Kuzyk), he's turning out work for clients and moving along in his career. Then, he's suddenly picked up by a cop and charged with indecent exposure.

Actually, he had been walking through a park and had to use the facilities. All were locked, so he ducked behind a building, where he was nabbed and later booked. Matheson, his hair dyed black and wearing glasses and a mustache, is totally believable in the role. He never overplays his hand or loses a viewer's sympathy and trust. He protests his innocence and, at the urging of hisrVife.

decides to pay the fine and forget it. The next day, while visiting the precinct to pay the fine, he's seized. This time the charge is much more serious: armed robbery. Jail is a nightmare to Anderson. But his lawyer, Carolyn Shetland (Lisa Eichhorn), gets his bail reduced from $3,000 to $1,000, which his supportive but bewildered parents promise to raise.

Meanwhile, a cop from another county who had earlier asked to examine Anderson's teeth and hands, is waiting for him. The officer is investigating a kidnapping and r**e case, and Anderson answers the description of the offender, right down to a broken front tooth. The film takes you on a roller coaster ride of lineups, police charges, trials and even a change of lawyers. During this time, Anderson's nerves are slowly being eroded. There are moments when even his father wonders why the girls would identify him as a ra**st.

"You think I'm guilty," says Anderson, who's frustrated at every turn. He even hears his wife on the telephone asking, "What if he is guilty?" One shudders to think what might have happened to him if the real criminal had never been found..
