Diane Neal: ADA Casey Novak

Quotes 

• Casey Novak : [to Mariel Plummer]  You had no idea what was going on in the Dufoy house. You hadn't visited in months. You'd forgotten all about Jamie.

  Mariel Plummer : No. I cared about him.

  Casey Novak : Then why not return Sam's calls?

  Mariel Plummer : Because I was out of the office till late working on another case.

  Casey Novak : But you cared about Jamie. Why was that other case so much more important?

  Mariel Plummer : A father returned home from prison. He beat his wife to death with a hammer. Then he killed himself in front of his two children. That's what I was working on. That's why I didn't return Sam's call. I made a terrible mistake, but don't accuse me of not caring.
