L.A. Law (TV Series)

One Rat, One Ranger (1989)

Robert Harper: Brian LaPorte

Quotes 

• D.D.A. Grace Van Owen : 2 years, minimum security.

  Brian LaPorte : No, chance. Any kind of guilty plea, my guy loses custody.

  D.D.A. Grace Van Owen : Oh, what a horrible thing that would be, a child molester losing custody of his daughter. How could we sleep at night?

  Brian LaPorte : Hey, Grace, he's no child molester until you prove it, which we both know is a hard thing to do. And I'm telling you, Edward was very convincing guy at the family court hearing.

  D.D.A. Grace Van Owen : Yeah, yeah, I saw how convincing he was when he failed the polygraph test.

  Brian LaPorte : Which we know is inadmissible.

  D.D.A. Grace Van Owen : Doesn't it bother you, Brian? You know he's guilty and you're actually helping him to keep custody.

  Brian LaPorte : I took the case. It's my job to advise him to his options and his chances, and then carry out his wishes. He wants the big NG. He wants unsupervised visits, so I got to do what I gotta do.
