Quotes
-
Judge Evelyn Greico : Counsel, the jury's asking permission to consider a lesser charge.
Mr. Clayborn : How much less?
Judge Evelyn Greico : Man two.
[Jack gives Abbie a look of skepticism, while Mr. Clayborn talks to his client]
Mr. Clayborn : [returning to the bench] The defense has no objection, Your Honor.
Judge Evelyn Greico : Mr. McCoy?
Jack McCoy : The standard for man two is recklessness. How does that apply to deliberate strangulation?
Judge Evelyn Greico : I'm inclined to agree with you, Mr. McCoy. How do you feel about man one?
Jack McCoy : I don't think any manslaughter option is appropriate. The victim didn't die by mistake. This murder was clearly intentional.
Mr. Clayborn : The jury clearly disagrees with the severity of the charge.
Jack McCoy : Because the defense bent over backwards to stir up sympathy for a cold-blooded killer!
Mr. Clayborn : They should have sympathy for a greedy hooker?
Judge Evelyn Greico : That's enough.
[to the bailiff]
Judge Evelyn Greico : Tell the jury they can consider man one.
Jack McCoy : [the bailiff leaves] Your Honor, you're allowing a compromised verdict. That's not...
Judge Evelyn Greico : Sit down, Mr. McCoy.
Jack McCoy : You might as well let them nullify.
Judge Evelyn Greico : [firmly] Sit down.
A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : [returning to their seats] It's now a guaranteed man one conviction, and Malone knows that.
Jack McCoy : [scoffs] Six to twelve on an intentional murder.
A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : Well, it happens sometimes when your victim is sleazier than your defendant. You know that.
