Carolyn McCormick: Dr. Elizabeth Olivet

Quotes 

• Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : He can just disregard the jury's verdict?

  Ben Stone : If he feels the jury disregarded the facts presented, yes, he can.

  Adam Schiff : Yep, we should have seen it coming. The Honorable Keith Silver. Wrote the book on the rights of the accused. He thinks Miranda is five pages too short.

• Ben Stone : [to Olivet]  What the hell is going on?

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : I was raped. That's all you needed to know.

  Ben Stone : It would've helped to know the alleged victim was lying.

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : I never lied to you.

  Ben Stone : The only reason you went to Merritt is for Diane Perkins.

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : That has nothing to do with me being drugged and raped.

  Ben Stone : It had a lot to do with why you were raped.

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : You want to know why I went back? I sent Diane to Merritt. My gynecologist wouldn't see her and I bought into his reputation: the awards, the articles. I was responsible.

  Ben Stone : But you did it the wrong way. If you suspected she was molested, you should have gone to the police.

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : With what? She refused to come forward. I didn't know whether to believe her. She's been delusional and she certainly couldn't have testified against the esteemed doctor. She tried to kill herself, Ben.

  Ben Stone : You of all people should know the importance of full disclosure. You had a legal obligation.

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : I had an obligation to my patient and in my profession, that's all that counts.

• [Dr. Olivet has been raped while on an undercover mission] 

  Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : You have no idea what it's like to be victimized by a powerful man.

• Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : I know the difference between being examined and being molested.
