They Stand Accused (also known as Cross Question) was an early American television program broadcast on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. The series ran from 1949 to 1952 and during 1954.
It was a crime drama held in a courtroom presided over by attorney Charles Johnston. The program was broadcast live from Chicago's WGN-TV; jurors were chosen from the studio audience.[1] On most DuMont affiliates, They Stand Accused aired Sunday at 9 PM during the 1949-1952 television seasons, and Thursday at 8 PM during 1954. Though it was one of the DuMont Network's longest-running series, They Stand Accused was finally cancelled in December 1954.
