Quotes 

• Meyer Fisk : I need you to look at the evidence and forget that Lara's your wife.

  John Brennan : I've seen the evidence, Meyer.

  Meyer Fisk : I'm not saying judge her innocent or guilty, I'm just saying look at it. Her co-worker sees her leaving the scene. The victim's blood is on her clothes. Her fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

  John Brennan : And then we went out to dinner. How do you do that if just killed somebody? That would make her a psychopath.

  Meyer Fisk : And the fight...

  John Brennan : Is Lara a psychopath, Meyer?

  Meyer Fisk : The fight in the office?

  John Brennan : Everyone fights with their boss.

  Meyer Fisk : But this one ended up dead.

  John Brennan : So what you're saying is that you never believed in her innocence.

  Meyer Fisk : How can you say that?

  John Brennan : Well, what are you saying?

  Meyer Fisk : I'm saying that it no longer matters what we believe! Lara is not getting out! And you have no idea how much I hate to say that.

• John Brennan : What happens if we find the woman who was leaving the parking lot?

  Meyer Fisk : The PCRA has been rejected. No new evidence can be submitted. Not anymore.

  John Brennan : It was a robbery.

  Meyer Fisk : And if they had used her credit card, we could have argued that. I-I'm sorry. John... this sucks.

  John Brennan : Okay. That's that. All we have now is the Supreme Court, right?

  Meyer Fisk : John, in the last thirty years, the Supreme Court has not heard one murder case. No decent lawyer would even file the pleadings.

  John Brennan : So all I have to do is find an... an indecent one. That shouldn't be too hard.
