Mary McDonnell: Sharon Raydor

Quotes 

• Sharon Raydor : Did you know that there was a strong likelihood that after you dropped Mr. Baylor off at his home he'd be beaten to death by his fellow Crips?

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : I did not know that... but I do like happy endings.

  Sharon Raydor : And that answer is exactly why we're not recording this interview.

• Sharon Raydor : Calling Turell's murder "a happy ending" is not something that you want a jury to hear you say.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : Sure we do, after they see this interview with the so-called victim?

  Sharon Raydor : After they see this interview, they'll understand you were stuck with a confession of a brutal murder of an elderly man and his grandchild that you couldn't use at trial, and lacking legal recourse, you dropped Turell Baylor off at his home where you knew he was likely to be executed. This interview is not your friend - it is your motive!

• Sharon Raydor : You say that your responsibility ended the moment Turell left your custody, and the Warren Rule frees you from criminal liability, but in a civil trial, the jury may very well decide that you behaved with a callous disregard to the suspect's life, and if the city attorney starts to think that he's losing this case...

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : He could settle?

  Sharon Raydor : He could settle and leave you to take the blame, and you will be entirely on your own.

  Brenda Leigh Johnson : [taking awhile to think it over]  So, what should I do?

  Sharon Raydor : For your own sake, *get... your own... attorney*.
