Quotes

Marvin Bernstein : Because we didn't want you to read about these indictments for the first time in the papers, so here it is. Tomorrow, the district attorney will announce indictments against two defendants, Mavis and Arthur Richardson on 37 separate counts of child molestation and sexual abuse.
Paula Stockman : What about the other two?
Marvin Bernstein : We've elected not to indict either Miss Larrimer or George Olin.
[the crowd murmurs]
Parent : Miss Larrimer raped my daughter!
Ellis Stockman : What do you have to do around here to get indicted?
Marvin Bernstein : Your daughter is only two. A two-year-old is not a good witness. You have to realize that we want to make cases we can win. There just wasn't enough evidence against the other two teachers.
Ellis Stockman : You telling us you let them walk?
Marvin Bernstein : They've left the community, yes.
[the crowd murmurs]
Marvin Bernstein : In the absence of an indictment, they are entirely within their rights.
Ellis Stockman : That's crap, Bernstein! i ran NCIC's on all four of these freaks. Susan Larrimer has a record. She was tried in Kentucky for molesting a retarded kid.
Marvin Bernstein : And she was acquitted. It isn't a crime to be accused of a felony.
