Quotes
-
E.A.D.A. Jack McCoy : No one denies the Brotherhood is dangerous. The issue is whether the defendant was allowed to make an anticipatory strike against one of their members. And hundreds of years of jurisprudence say no.
Rodney Fallon : A hundred years ago there was no Brotherhood. How long are you supposed to stand on the tracks with a freight train coming at you?
Trial Judge Amanda Anderlee : Mr. Fallon's argument is a convincing one, Mr. McCoy. This is how the law evolves. The defendant's belief may well have been objectively reasonable under the circumstances. It's pushing the envelope, but I'm going to let the issue go to the jury.

Kyle Marsden : [Just keeps on smiling]
Rodney Fallon : No further questions, Your Honor.
