Mason is known to have lost, in some form or manner, three cases-"The Case of the Terrified Typist", "The Case of the Witless Witness", and "The Case of the Deadly Verdict".[71]

Mason also loses a civil case at the beginning of "The Case of the Dead Ringer", partly due to being framed for witness tampering.

I think "The Case of the Terrified Typist" is the one.

That's the one, Gmack. After the guilty verdict, Mason convinced Judge Hartly that a retrial was in order, since there were two Duane Jeffersons, one his client and the other the accused.

Mason actually lost two murder cases in the original series. But in one, "The Case of the Terrified Typist," he was misled by his client, and in the other, "The Case of the Deadly Verdict," his client was eventually cleared.
