Greg Stuhr: Steven Ross

Quotes 

• Albert Rivas : [to Judge Stark about Cruz]  Your Honor, my client has been a member of the NYPD for ten years. She hasn't missed a day of work except when injured in the line of duty. She's not exactly a flight risk.

  Steven Ross : To the contrary, Your Honor. The defendant has a list of civilian complaints lodged against her the size of the Manhattan yellow pages, and she's been the subject of three Internal Affairs investigations. Additionally, she has no living relatives or any other ties to the community. If she has a brain cell, she already has a plane ticket in her pocket.

  Albert Rivas : That's blatantly and demonstrably false, Your Honor.

  Judge Alexander Stark : That she has a brain cell or a plane ticket? Sergeant Cruz, do you, or do you not have ties to the community?

  Maritza Cruz : Depends on your definition.

  Judge Alexander Stark : What happened to your face?

  Maritza Cruz : I... tripped over my ties to the community.
