Sam Waterston: Executive ADA Jack McCoy

Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : Of course Renee Bishop is Sophie Winslow's mother, in every sense of the word that matters. But so was Lisa Winslow. And what kind of parent kills her child's other parent? Mr. Hobart reminds you of the bond between Renee Bishop and Sophie Winslow, but he wants you to forget the bond between Sophie and Lisa; the woman who adopted her and loved her as much as Renee Bishop does. This case is not about who's the better mother, or about a law which may well be antiquated and unfair. It's not about what Renee Bishop suffered, but about what Renee Bishop did. And what she did was kill Lisa Winslow. And that law, which she violated, is as sure and certain as the evidence is conclusive. As much as you might empathize with her plight, you must return a verdict of guilty against Renee Bishop.

• Jack McCoy : [On the subject of Same Sex marriages]  , Let them marry. Why shouldn't they be as miserable as the rest of us?
