William Landay Quotes

I Do Not Believe In The Court System, At Least I Do Not Think It Is Especially Good At Finding The Truth. No Lawyer Does. We Have All Seen Too Many Mistakes, Too Many Bad Results. A Jury Verdict Is Just A Guess - A Well-intentioned Guess, Generally, But You Simply Cannot Tell Fact From Fiction By Taking A Vote. And Yet, Despite All That, I Do Believe In The Power Of The Ritual. I Believe In The Religious Symbolism, The Black Robes, The Marble-columned Courthouses Like Greek Temples. When We Hold A Trial, We Are Saying A Mass. We Are Praying Together To Do What Is Right And To Be Protected From Danger, And That Is Worth Doing Whether Or Not Our Prayers Are Actually Heard.
