Quotes About Guilty

Back at his office, knowing he could now never be Richard's lawyer, Adashek phoned Gallegos and asked him to visit Richard at the jail. To keep Richard from calling the press, Adashek phoned Judge Soper and asked her if she'd bar Richard from having access to the phone and telling reporters that he was guilty.

It is the job of the defense attorney--especially when representing the guilty--to prevent, by all lawful means, the whole truth from coming out.
