The Accused

Kathryn Murphy: Listen again..."A person is guilty of criminal solicitation if he commands, induces, entreats or otherwise persuades another person to commit a felony-" Paul Rudolph: You can read it to me until you're blue in the face, I am not gonna let you prosecute a bunch of spectators - Kathryn Murphy: [cutting him off] They're not spectators. They solicited the rape. Paul Rudolph: Do you really want to ask a jury to lock up a bunch of people for clapping and cheering? Kathryn Murphy: Clapping? Cheering? Pushing? Goading? Getting the rape going and keeping it going! Paul Rudolph: And what happens if you lose? You'll look like an incompetent. If you win, you'll look like a vengeful bitch. Either way, you'll hurt yourself and this office. Now, drop it. You've got more important things to do. Kathryn Murphy: No I haven't. Paul Rudolph: You haven't got more important things to do than go to trial with a sure loser? What the hell's gotten into you? Kathryn Murphy: We owe her. Paul Rudo

Cliff 'Scorpion' Albrect: No, I don't know her. She's a whore, the last time I saw her she was doing a sex show. Kathryn Murphy: You watched? Cliff 'Scorpion' Albrect: You bet your ass I watched she put on a great show! Kathryn Murphy: I thought she was raped? Cliff 'Scorpion' Albrect: Raped? She fucked a bar full of guys then she turns round and blames them for it? Listen lady, she loved it, she had an audience, she did the show of her life!
