Jill Hennessy: ADA Claire Kincaid
Quotes
-
Executive ADA Jack McCoy : A new trial, Adam? Thirty-year-old evidence, witnesses gone who knows where?
DA Adam Schiff : You have the victim, and a confession. You want me to gift wrap it for you?
ADA Claire Kincaid : He's almost sixty. The jury might think he's rehabilitated - even harmless.
DA Adam Schiff : Munoz has crawled halfway out of the hole we dug for him thirty years ago. You hit him with a shovel, before he crawls all the way out.
-
ADA Claire Kincaid : It's exculpatory. It points to a credible alternative theory of the crime.
DA Adam Schiff : I see. Farina was furious she was pregnant - he attacked her. Killed her unborn baby. Left her for dead.
ADA Claire Kincaid : It might sound credible to a jury.
DA Adam Schiff : And Munoz comes along and rapes her - still credible.
ADA Claire Kincaid : Maybe not - but I'd err on the side of caution, and turn over what we know.
DA Adam Schiff : And give this three-time rapist a chance to bluff the jury!
ADA Claire Kincaid : That can't be a consideration.
DA Adam Schiff : Oh, it sure as hell can.
ADA Claire Kincaid : At the risk of committing reversible error? How many times do we want to re-try Munoz?
DA Adam Schiff : As many times as it takes! We're legally, morally and ethically entitled to keep this information from him - and that's exactly what we're gonna do.
-
ADA Claire Kincaid : It won't be pretty. Marks'll have a field day with Costello.
Executive ADA Jack McCoy : Unless we inoculate the jury.
ADA Claire Kincaid : We do it to her before Marks does?
Executive ADA Jack McCoy : Ask the L.A. prosecutors: Don't they wish they'd pulled the pin on the Fuhrman grenade?
-
ADA Claire Kincaid : Marks knows her audience. Could've heard hair grow in that jury box.
Executive ADA Jack McCoy : People slow down for traffic accidents; that doesn't mean they approve.
