Law & Order (TV Series)

Remand (1996)

Talia Balsam: Teri Marks

Quotes 

• Executive ADA Jack McCoy : His competency is not in question. Besides, it's irrelevant. Miranda isn't retroactive; it's not grounds for appeal for every felon convicted before then.

  Teri Marks : I'm not talking about every felon - I'm talking about a case where there's the possibility of a conflict of interest. The confession was never challenged.

  Executive ADA Jack McCoy : Then challenge it under the laws as they existed in 1965. I've read them, your honor - I bet even Clarence Darrow couldn't get this confession suppressed.

• Teri Marks : You threatened to tell his wife, unless he gave you money for an abortion.

  Cookie Costello : That's not true! I - I am a good Catholic; I would never do a thing like that!

  Teri Marks : You mean the kind of good Catholic who gets arrested for bookmaking? Who commits adultery with felons?

  Executive ADA Jack McCoy : Objection!

  Trial Judge Harold Rockwell : Sustained. Tone it down, Miss Marks.
