William Royle: Prosecuting Attorney

Quotes 

• Prosecuting Attorney : Did you notice any changes that would lead you to believe, as an educator, that he was under some severe mental strain, which might possibly have been induced by some drug?

  Dr. Carroll : Yes. I recall distinctly a few weeks ago. It was during a class of English literature. There was a serious discussion of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" when he suddenly burst into an uncontrollable fit of hysterical laughter.

• Prosecuting Attorney : Your Honor, in this case the State waves the trial of the defendant, Ralph Wiley. It is convinced that he is hopelessly and incurably insane - a condition caused by the drug marijuana, to which he was addicted. It is recommended, your Honor, that the defendant be placed in an institution for the criminally insane for the rest of his natural life.

• Prosecuting Attorney : You've all heard what went on in that room. You heard it from the defendant's own lips. Involved as he was in a torrid love affair.
