Michael Moriarty: Executive ADA Ben Stone

Quotes 

• ADA Claire Kincaid : He'll be protected.

  Horace McCoy : The only way to assure that is to drop your opposition to my motion for bail.

  Executive ADA Ben Stone : Then he'd be safe, but nobody else would.

  Horace McCoy : If he's your killer! I've seen stronger evidence that Eisenhower was a communist!

• Executive ADA Ben Stone : I'm not questioning your ability - you're a great lawyer.

  Horace McCoy : You know that; I know that. I want the while city to know that.

  Executive ADA Ben Stone : Oh - is that what this is all about? Some high-profile form of advertising?

  Horace McCoy : You mean I might get my name on the short list of trial lawyers for wealthy clients? Right up there with Ames, and Spence, and Cutler? When they made their names defending killers, did you ask about their consciences?

• Horace McCoy : In the eyes of the law, I believe, Mr. Tunney is an innocent person - unless you've already had a trial and convicted him, without inviting me.

• ADA Claire Kincaid : Horace McCoy is a member of the Harlem Defense League - now he's defending a racist killer?
