Quotes 

• Mr. Shuman : There's still the confession, your honor. If my client hadn't been confronted with the illegally seized evidence, he never would have confessed.

  Jack McCoy : Your honor, under Frazier v. Cupp, the police are permitted to LIE to a suspect to extract a confession.

  Mr. Shuman : Well, then they should have lied instead of violating my client's rights.

  Judge Aldo Ianello : I'm afraid Mr. Shuman's right, I'm going to have to suppress it. I'm due in court...

  Mr. Shuman : One more thing, your honor.

  Judge Aldo Ianello : [sighs]  What, Mr. Shuman.

  Mr. Shuman : My client's sitting in Rikers. All they have is a wallet. It's not enough to sustain Murder Two.

  Jack McCoy : We're developing other evidence.

  Judge Aldo Ianello : Well, when you do, you can re-arrest Mr. Garcia. For now the charges against him are dismissed.

• Joostens : You must be out of your mind if you thought we'd agree. Mike's not saying word one at your murder trial unless he gets full immunity on these charges

  Jack McCoy : The Bronx ADA won't agree to that.

  Joostens : Then you have a problem, McCoy.

  Jack McCoy : Mr. Bodak, you promised to testify.

  Joostens : He didn't promise to incriminate himself for bookmaking! Mike, anything you say at the murder trial the Bronx DA can use against you.

  Jack McCoy : I'l.l do everything I can to protect you on the stand, but I need you on the stand!

  Joostens : All right, we're done talking, McCoy.

  Jack McCoy : Mr. Bodak...

  Mike Bodak : What? What am I supposed to say? Look where I am. They want me to finger Ray D'Antoni, Mr. McCoy. They want me for that, you want me for Garcia... I'm gettin' killed here!

  Jack McCoy : I know.

  Mike Bodak : I don't understand. I just helped a guy change a tire. I don't get it.

  Jack McCoy : You help me, Mr. Bodak, and I'll help you.

  Joostens : I don't think he can stand much more of your help.

  Jack McCoy : Fine. Listen to him. Stay here and stand trial for bookmaking while Ricky Garcia is acquitted for lack of evidence.

  Joostens : All right, that's enough, McCoy!

  Jack McCoy : You'll be in jail, and he'll be out there doing drugs and killing people. It's your choice.

  Joostens : It's too risky, Mike.
