Jeffrey DeMunn: Senior ADA Charlie Phillips

Quotes 

• Alexandra Cabot : I need you to authorize this deal.

  Charlie Phillips : Counselor, I am a public servant. And the public at large does not want this... boil on the butt of humanity living to a ripe old age.

  Alexandra Cabot : Charlie, think of the mother.

  Charlie Phillips : I am, and I'm sure that she'd want to see him die.

  Alexandra Cabot : Maybe, but she probably wants to know what happened to her daughter also.

  Charlie Phillips : And what about the mothers of all his other victims? They want him dead. The city wants him dead. Even protesters against the death penalty want to see this guy dead.

  Alexandra Cabot : You don't know all of the other mothers want him dead.

  Charlie Phillips : Of course, they do.
