Quotes

Elizabeth Lafferty : I can't take this. This is just the beginning, Wayne, how are we ever going to get through this?
Wayne Lafferty : Because we will.
Victor Sifuentes : Look, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to get used to this. The press is going to be here hounding us every day. It's only going to get worse.
Lawyer John Trischuta : Don't even listen to their questions.
Elizabeth Lafferty : How can we not hear their questions? Mrs. Lafferty, did you kill your baby? Mrs. Lafferty, who is the actual murderer, you or your husband? How can I not hear those questions?
Victor Sifuentes : Look, Mrs. Lafferty, people are going to think what they're going to think, but by the end of the trial, we'll be okay.
Wayne Lafferty : Things will never be okay, Mr. Sifuentes. We haven't buried him yet, and they arrest us for murder.
Lawyer John Trischuta : Come on, Wayne.
Wayne Lafferty : Our friends look at us like they don't know us. They're not sure.
Lawyer John Trischuta : After the acquittal, they will be.
Wayne Lafferty : No, they won't.
[Wayne comforting his wife Elizabeth of their late son Steven]
