I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.

Things are never as bad as they seem.
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.
Daylight, in my mind, the night faded.
Best way to clear the air is to have it all out in the open.
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
