I don't really want to have any part of getting guilty people off.
-
What joy would I get from putting the wrong person behind bars?
-
I grew up in a courtroom kind of like the one you saw in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' - big, big courtroom, sometimes it didn't even have air conditioning.
-
I was 47 when I got pregnant. I'd been trying for a couple of years and thought it would never happen.
-
On the death penalty:(the argument that it costs more to appeal death row convictions than to imprison someone for life.) 'Ken Starr gave me the perfect comeback on that,' she scoffs. 'How many millions of dollars were we willing to spend to show that the President had oral sex?'
-
If I listened to my critics, I would still be at home under my bed right now.
-
All the criticism and all of the praise, it doesn't - it's not worth the salt that goes on my bread, because TV is fickle. You can be loved one day and hated the next day. One day, you're getting an award. And the next day, you're getting a death threat.
-
If you are moneyed or educated, you will get a different sentence than someone who is not.
-
I was a prosecutor for many years, I'm a crime victim myself, and I've tried so many cases I don't even know how many anymore.
-
The reality is, when you're representing someone that's guilty, you're in the position of taking that position.

To the jury foreman in the second trial: 'Mr. Rodriguez? Can I ask you a question? What do you think a grown man up in his 40s is doing sleeping with one little boy after the next, all by himself, locked up in his bedroom, every night? That doesn't bother you? It bothers me.'
-
I think the truth is black-and-white.
-
Believe it or not, there are people who want to be on juries.
-
When you have a child victim, I don't think cameras should be in the courtroom, ever.

On the second Michael Jackson trial, speaking on 'Larry King Live,' CNN, Feb. 21, 2003: 'But I'm telling you, this boy, two-thirds of this can be corroborated by other people. So why would he lie about the molestation part? It is in graphic detail. It just seems true... I think Michael Jackson walks. And I think it's a disgrace. He's guilty.'
-
On on-air debates: 'When I get into an argument on the air, the man can always yell louder, if a man fights like hell, he's being forceful; if I raise my voice and fight like hell, I'm being a shrew and a bitch.'
-
I went nearly 30 years without being able to really seriously entertain marriage or a family. In fact, the word 'marriage' would actually give me a shake when it was brought up.
-
I'm not a judge.
