Peter McRobbie: Judge Walter Bradley

Quotes 

• Judge Walter Bradley : You'd better not be wasting my time with politics, Miss Novak.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : I'm not, Your Honor. We can prove Amy Solwey entered into a suicide pact with Christina. Amy's still alive, so clearly, she had no intention of going through with it.

  Barry Moredock : She just wants my client to plead out to a spurious charge.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Read this statute: when two people enter into a suicide pact and one of them pulls out for personal gain after the other one is dead, that's Murder Two.

  Barry Moredock : What could Amy Solwey possibly gain by Christina Nerrit's death?

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Validation of her cause, which is exactly what she got when that jury deadlocked.

  Barry Moredock : You're not going to let her sell you this bill of goods, are you, Judge?

  Judge Walter Bradley : Don't insult my intelligence, Mr. Moredock. That's how the law is written. Unless you can prove Miss Novak wrong, we're going back to trial.
