George Hearn: Independent Counsel William Dell

Quotes 

• Independent Counsel William Dell : [speaking to reporters live on TV]  The motive for this contract murder appears to be an attempt by high-ranking members of this Administration to silence a witness who was prepared to testify about sexual impropriety at the office of the White House Chief of Staff.

  Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : [switches off TV]  40 million dollars worth of misinformation.

  ASA Ed Danvers : And we helped him dig up the dirt.

• Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : You son of a bitch! You offered Dawkins immunity to get whatever you can on the Administration.

  ASA Ed Danvers : But you refused immunity to Walter Boyce, who's already doing life in prison, just so you can torpedo our case.

  Independent Counsel William Dell : There are larger issues at stake. This is more than a murder here.

  ASA Ed Danvers : [scoffs]  More than a murder?

  Independent Counsel William Dell : Corruption at the highest level.

  Executive A.D.A. Jack McCoy : What proof do you have? Dawkins has no corroboration. All you've got is innuendo and allegation!

  ASA Ed Danvers : That's all he needs. He set it up so that is case will never get to court! You don't want a jury trial - a chance to determine who's guilty and who's not.
