Wanderers in the 4th Dimension: The Trial of a Time Lord -- Mindwarp

This week we cover story #143b, the second segment of the season-long story arc The Trial of a Time Lord, Mindwarp.  Still on trial, the Doctor must defend his actions leading up to a terrible fate befalling his companion Peri -- but he can't remember what happens, and it seems the Matrix's account of events is inaccurate...

QotW: If the Time Lords plucked you from time & put you on trial, what fictional character would you want to defend you and why?
