One judge is quite like another. The only differences may be in the state of their digestions or their proclivities for sleeping on the bench. For myself, I can digest pig iron. And while I might appear to doze occasionally, you will find that I am easily awakened, particularly if shaken gently by a good lawyer with a nice point of law.
I wanted to get your snickering over and done with. This pair of panties will be mentioned again over the course of this trial, & when it is, there will not be one laughter, one snicker, one giggle or even one smirk in my courtroom. There is nothing comic about a pair of panties that resulted in the violent death of one man, & the possible incarceration of another.
Twelve people go off into a room: twelve different minds, twelve different hearts, from twelve different walks of life; twelve sets of eyes, ears, shapes, and sizes. And these twelve people are asked to judge another human being as different from them as they are from each other. And in their judgment, they must become of one mind - unanimous. It's one of the miracles of Man's disorganized soul that they can do it, and in most instances, do it right well. God bless juries.
1:Did you give the lieutenant the Well-Known Lecture?
2: If you mean, did I coach him into a phony story, no.
1: Maybe you're too pure, Paul. Too pure for the natural impurities of the law.
someone must've seen it... if you haven't you should! it was really good. Not ground breaking. But i do think lots of more recent movies after this took lots of ideas and presentation in courtroom drama. I enjoyed it a lot.

B:They can't, lieutenant. They can't.
Another quote.
The prosecution would like to separate the motive from the act. Well, that's like trying to take the core from an apple without breaking the skin.

How abouuuuut... Erin Brockovich. That was about juries and courts and stuff, right?
We're bound to get there eventually.
If you do that one more time, I'll punch you all the way out into the middle of Lake Superior!
