- Jack McCoy: [during his closing summation] Miss Stieglitz is right. This isn't a referendum on prostitution. It isn't a referendum on rape. You're here to render a verdict on her client's credibility. She says she was raped. What's her evidence? "Keene was a bully. My husband believes me. So should you." In the meantime, she suffered no injuries, she destroyed evidence, she lied to the police. It was only when she was backed into a corner that she cried rape, that she wrapped herself in the right of self-defense, but she wasn't defending her virtue. She didn't shoot Gilbert Keene to keep from performing an act that she had willingly performed on dozens of other men. She killed him to protect a secret. You've all seen what lengths she went to, to avoid Mac Bernum, to hide her identity. Who can blame her? She didn't want to lose her husband, her family, her comfortable home. Those things, she would kill for, but those things do not justify the taking of a life! The threat of deadly physical force does or rape does or kidnapping, or robbery. But none of those things happened in that car. What happened in that car was a cold and calculated thing. A woman killed her blackmailer, not her rapist. That's who Gilbert Keene was. That's how he got sex. He didn't rape those other women. He blackmailed them. I don't want you to convict her because she's a prostitute. I'm asking you to convict her because her story is a lie.
- Jamie Ross: Lanie Stieglitz filed her appeal.
- Adam Schiff: She's hoping they'll erect a statue for her on 12th Avenue.
- Jack McCoy: Even prostitutes deserve a patron saint.
- Jamie Ross: It makes me wonder if they convicted her because we made our case or because she's a prostitute.
- Jack McCoy: They convicted her. I don't care why.
- Jack McCoy: You lied to us.
- Mac Bernum: I didn't know what Topaz was. I never see the bills.
- Jack McCoy: I'm feeling charitable. I'm gonna give you a mulligan. But if your next shot isn't on the fairway, you're going to jail.
- Mac Bernum: I had nothing to do with Gilly's death. I swear it. And I can't believe that Cathy did either. I mean, Hillary. I knew her as Cathy.
- Lanie Stieglitz: Peel off the testosterone patch Ms. Ross, you're thinking under the influence.
- Jamie Ross: You can sing "I Am Woman" loud as you want, but it won't do your client any good.
- Lanie Stieglitz: [during her closing summation] It's not often that Big Brother has to listen to your opinion. It happens every 4 years. And it happens when you have the privilege of sitting in this box. Hillary Colson shopped at Gap Kids. She goes to PTA meetings. She's also a prostitute. I don't like it anymore than you do. It disgusts me. I don't approve of serial adultery. She's endangered the lives of every member of her family in a pathetic search for what? Novelty? To fill a void in her life, maybe? I don't know. But I do know this. If this were a referendum on prostitution, I would say: "Throw her in jail and forget about the key". But it's not! That's not why she's on trial. She is on trial because she said no to an ex-police officer armed with a Colt revolver and the will to use it! An ex-police officer. Hmm? A bully who used sex to dominate women. She said no and she meant it! The bill of rights does not only apply to the June Cleavers of this country. Acquit my client and you say to Big Brother that any woman, regardless of her character, has got the right to say no, and has got the right to back it up! I'm not asking you to agree with prostitution, but I am begging you to disagree with rape.
