“Objection!" Metz shouts.Grounds?" the judge asks.Well...he's my witness!”

“Go fuck yourself Judge.""Motion denied." answers the judge dryly.”

“...a witness is defined through what he sees, not what he says. And just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.”

“This judge has a chip on her shoulder the size of the whole goddamned courthouse.”

“Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.”

“be a good listener, don't judge and don't put boundaries on someone else's grief.”

“Witness testimony is always flawed. It's better than circumstantial evidence, sure, but people aren't camcorders; they don't record every action and reaction, and the very act of remembering involves chosing words, actions and images. In other words, any witness who was supposed to be giving a court facts is really just giving them a version of fiction.”
