I think this prosecutor got stuck with a rotten mackerel. He got stuck with a stinking, rotten mackerel he didn't buy.

Please, ladies and gentlemen, you stick that up in neon lights. He didn't do anything.

It wasn't an argument, it was a diatribe. I've never seen anything like it. It's an insult to you (the jury).

We will give no more than what was offered to the jury ? that is, that he was guilty of accessory after the fact and nothing else. If that will resolve it, fine. If not, there will be a third trial.

This was not a hate crime. It was not a killing because of gender.

You mustn’t blame yourself for the way the boy’s turned out, Vernon. If there’s something rotten on the inside, there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
