'Your honor, I'd like a short recess so my client can make a run for it.'

"Better that a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man be convicted, right?"

"The ignorance of the lawyer is no excuse."

'Tell the truth: does this affidavit make me look fat?'

'Remember, don't discuss the case with the jurors.'
