Elvis Presley, Rare Footage from Tennessee court defending himself against charges (No Sound)

Surrounded by youthful fans, Elvis Presley, the world's latest entertainment sensation, sits in a Memphis, Tennessee court to defend himself against charges growing out of an altercation in a gas station. A situation in which the other principals are Ed Hopper and Aubrey Brown, both attendants at the pumps around which the trouble started. Judge Sammuel Freedman presides at the trial which gets under way with swearing in of all the defendants - a dramatic moment in the life of a handsome young Rock 'n' Roll singing star, but a pre-laud for him to a great moral victory - the Judge dismissing his disorderly conduct charge while finding the other defendants guilty on charges of assault and battery. And this might be a scene from "Love me Tender", Presley's soon to be seen in first motion picture but he's just accepting the congratulations of a fan.
