Diane Neal: ADA Casey Novak

Quotes 

• Casey Novak : People's 18. The report from the lab on the semen found inside Jenna's body. "DNA testing confirms fluids are from Pierson Bartlett Junior." Note that sperm are immotile. P.J., did you know that you were shooting blanks?

• Avery Hemmings : I've seen CEOs who rape their employees' pension funds get better treatment than this.

  Casey Novak : You're the one who screwed your client. Did you even read the autopsy report?

  Avery Hemmings : Of course I read it.

  Casey Novak : Then maybe you should go back to defending white collar criminals because a first-year law student wouldn't miss the age of Jenna's fetus.

  Avery Hemmings : The trial's not over yet.

  Casey Novak : Oh, yes, it is. Only question is how long the jury's out.

• Casey Novak : [about Pierson and P.J]  What a mess. First we can't get either one of them to talk, now they're flipping on each other. I'm never gonna get a conviction.

  Elliot Stabler : And so what? If Jenna were alive, we'd be collaring her for blackmail. She's no innocent victim here. She's a hustler.

  Olivia Benson : Hustlers deserve justice too.

• Casey Novak : Hey, Dana, wait up.

  Court Officer Lyons : Hey, Case. Tough break. You almost had him.

  Casey Novak : Yeah, 11 to 1 to convict. You have any idea what the hell happened in there?

  Court Officer Lyons : Yeah. You had one crazy-ass jury.

  Casey Novak : Crazy how?

  Court Officer Lyons : Day one, I bring them lunch. Everything's hunky-dory. Second day, they're all screaming.

  Casey Novak : At each other?

  Court Officer Lyons : No, at the holdout. Juror number four. I felt sorry for her.

  Casey Novak : You took pity on the moron who screwed my case?

  Court Officer Lyons : Not for that. She's a single mom with a disabled kid.
