Quotes 

• Jamie Ross : Racial make-up, my ass. Archer's afraid a black woman would vote to convict.

  Jack McCoy : What makes you so sure she would? I'm telling the judge we'll go along with Archer's proposal. I don't like being manipulated by phony letters.

  Jamie Ross : You like losing better? We don't know for a fact the letter's bogus. Seating a black woman would get us closer to a hung jury.

  Jack McCoy : And to prosecutorial misconduct. I don't want to do it.

  Jamie Ross : You heard Danielle's father. That's who wins here. A bunch of bigots because your ethics might get ruffled.

  Jack McCoy : You took the same oath I did.

• Gina Tucci : [to Ross]  You know, I know a lot of guys who don't go out on Saturday night without a rubber and a roofie.

  Jamie Ross : Has it happened to you? Is that where Danielle got her story?

  Gina Tucci : You know what? The hell with you. You ask any of our friends. Those niggers are always trying to scam white girls. They all want a piece of this and if they have to rape you to get it, they will.

• Jamie Ross : [When McCoy discovers that the murder victim had a juvenile record]  It's not exculpatory evidence. Under Brady, we're under no obligation to turn it over to the defense.

  Jack McCoy : They can argue it's evidence he had a reputation for sexual violence.

  Jamie Ross : Which is relevant only if she knew his reputation before she killed him. She can't say she did and claim she didn't know him.

  Jack McCoy : Do you expect a jury to give a damn? I don't want this to come back and bite us in the ass in the middle of the trial.
