Appellate angle for The Liberator

On Veteran's Day, Netflix released a four-part WWII series called The Liberator. The protagonist is Felix Sparks, famous not only for a remarkable war record but also--for appellate purposes--his legal career, including as a Justice on the Colorado Supreme Court. This calls to mind California's own "Buck" Compton, from HBO's Band of Brothers and the 2d District Court of Appeal.
