Quotes 

• Mike Tao : It's called an authorship attribution program. You can download it for free on the internet, but before I explain what it is...

  Mike Tao : [to Provenza]  ... let me assure you that this is the short version.

  Louie Provenza : Oh, boy.

  Mike Tao : Basically, the program compares texts.

  Sharon Raydor : You can prove Stroh wrote them.

  Mike Tao : According to the program, it's a 96% probability.

  D.D.A. Emma Rios : Unfortunately, this will not be considered evidence in court.

  Sharon Raydor : We don't need it to be.
