Highway Patrol (TV Series)

Double Death (1957)

Broderick Crawford: Dan Mathews

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Piersall : I've been on the force for 25 years. The one nightmare I've always had was sending an innocent man to jail.

  Dan Mathews : Yeah, I know how you feel. Well look at it this way: It's your job to find evidence, the D.A.'s to build a case, the jury to bring in a verdict, and the judge to pass sentence.

  Lieutenant Piersall : It was my evidence that built the case. Every time Thornton yelled that he was innocent, we yelled back that he was a liar. We called him "The Brain" because we could never collect the rest of the securities and the money. But now I don't know anymore.

  Dan Mathews : We're gonna have to find Sylvester before Thornton really becomes a murderer. C'mon!

  Dan Mathews : [to Sergeant Garvey]  Help Piersall.
