I would have liked to personally have prosecuted Scott Peterson.

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 you are moneyed or educated, you will get a different sentence than someone who is not.

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.

Believe it or not, there are people who want to be on juries.

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'm not a judge.
