Hanging Judge/Quotes

Claims of innocence mean nothing; they serve only to prove a foolish lack of caution

—Judge Traggat, Selected Sayings, Warhammer 40,000

When passing sentence, always err to the side of harshness. Remember: there is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

—Credo Inquisition, Selected Sayings, Warhammer 40,000

Innocence Proves Nothing.

—Inquisitorial Motto, Warhammer 40,000

You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty. Time will pass and seasons will come and go. Spring with its wavin' green grass and heaps of sweet-smellin' flowers on every hill and in every dale. Then sultry Summer, with her shimmerin' heat-waves on the baked horizon. And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun. And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow. But you won't be here to see any of 'em; not by a damn sight, because it's the order of this court that you be took to the nearest tree and hanged by the neck til you're dead, dead, dead, you olive-colored son of a billy goat.

—Judge Roy Bean

Well raise 'im high and string 'im up!
We've gotcha now, you're good as dead!
From the gallows to your grave
It's gonna take your breath away!

Crime they say, does not pay
And you’re the living proof
But not for long, cause you’ll be hung

By your neck

—Heathen - "Death by Hanging"

"I'll catch the rabbit, Mr. Valiant. I'll try him, convict him...and execute him."

—Judge Doom, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Alright sherrif, I wanna know who's responsible for wreckin' our town! I want his hood on a platter. I'm gonna put him in jail 'til he rots. No, check that, I'm gonna put him in jail 'til the jail rots on top of him, and them I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that one rot...

—Doc Hudson, Cars
