I don't think the justice system in Suffolk County is prepared to admit that in what was possibly the highest-profile case in Suffolk County, they got it wrong.

He's very much losing the forest for the trees. The idea that a jury would hear from all 20 of these witnesses and disregard them all is just laughable.

We're in the people business. It takes people to take care of people.

One of the things he may be remembered for is being a great chief justice. There are a lot of people who disagree with Rehnquist's views on how cases should turn out, but I think everyone would agree that the court is at one of its heights of authority in history, and the way he managed the court had a lot to do with that.

Justice was served in this case.

This is one of the most extraordinary cases in the annals of criminal justice in our town.
