Quotes
-
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : They didn't subpoena me. I volunteered to testify as soon as I heard you put that charlatan Stronach on the stand.
Michael Cutter : She's hardly a charlatan.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : She's an academic. She studies studies. I counsel victims.
D.A. Jack McCoy : You've historically testified for us, Liz. Your appearance as a defense witness carries weight far beyond the substance of your testimony.
Michael Cutter : Katherine Waxman's using you to support a bogus defense.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : And you're using bogus science to prosecute her.
D.A. Jack McCoy : There are a dozen clinicians in this town who can make that point. It doesn't have to be you.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : Stronach's position devalues what I do. Who I am.
D.A. Jack McCoy : Liz...
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : I am gonna set the record straight.
D.A. Jack McCoy : You understand you're working for the other side now? That means the glove have to come off.

Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : That hurt, Jack.
D.A. Jack McCoy : I warned you.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : You betrayed a confidence.
D.A. Jack McCoy : You went to bat for a woman who shot her husband in cold blood and who would have killed anybody else she found in his office. If I had to betray a confidence to ensure she goes to jail... so be it. These are the rules we live by.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet : This isn't your finest hour, Jack.
D.A. Jack McCoy : Nor yours.

D.A. Jack McCoy : Dr. Stronach?
Michael Cutter : Our next witness - expert on child sex abuse.
D.A. Jack McCoy : Clinical psychiatrist, University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Stronach's research was condemned by a Congressional resolution...?
Connie Rubirosa : Don't look at me! Stronach wasn't my idea.
Michael Cutter : Katherine Waxman wants the jury to believe her crime was caused by her sexual abuse as a teenager, I want to give the jury another point of view.
D.A. Jack McCoy : Dr. Stronach's research will certainly do that. It might also make the jury want to string you up.
