Quotes
-
Det. Greg Hughs : We got no prints, no witnesses.
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : We've got a witness, Greg. Somebody saw something. Somebody called and reported it. You just haven't found her yet.
Det. Greg Hughs : Well, if you've got any suggestions...
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Look, this is the fourth time in three weeks I've been pulled out of bed to come down and look at a teenager with her throat slashed. I don't want to do it again.
-
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : You got your tush handed to you at that hearing, but things could have been a lot worse.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I let two murderers get away. How can that be worse?
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Those people could've sued you right out of a job. You're just lucky they hate publicity even more than they hate you.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I'm not afraid of them.
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Well, maybe you should be.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : They're guilty!
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : You know, you keep saying that. You know something I don't know?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : [reluctantly] I had a tip, Joe. I had a witness.
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Well, why the hell didn't you say something earlier?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Because he can't testify.

D.A. John Moreno : I just heard that you had requested continued surveillance on the Benson kid. Is that true?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : Yes.
D.A. John Moreno : Are you out of your mind? I just spent all day getting chewed out for putting those kids in front of a judge. And now this? Why?
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : Sir, she has a witness.
D.A. John Moreno : Well, then why didn't he testify?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : He can't.
D.A. John Moreno : What do you mean he can't? Who is he?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : It doesn't matter who he is.
D.A. John Moreno : This is a murder case.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : I lost him, okay?
D.A. John Moreno : Then drop it. When you find your witness, call me. Until then, drop it.
Deputy D.A. Joe Maxwell : [Moreno leaves] What's going on here, Cathy?
Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : He *can't* testify.
