Fred Thompson: DA Arthur Branch

Quotes 

• Detective Elliot Stabler : I think the D.A.'s office should fight to turn off life support.

  Arthur Branch : And what makes you think Judge Preston would grant such a motion?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : I read the papers. A similar request was made in California successfully when a father shook his son.

  Arthur Branch : And it was unsuccessful in Florida. Parents are winning the fight to keep their comatose daughter alive despite legal precedent.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Lucy's doctor says she'll never recover.

  Arthur Branch : What's this really about, Detective? You fighting for Lucy or bringing Evelyn Prichard to justice?

  Detective Elliot Stabler : I don't know if she's a grieving mother who can't let go, or if she's she's just trying to beat a murder rap. What I do know is a little girl is in constant pain and there is no hope of her ever getting better.
