Line 25:
'''McCoy''': He finally understood you were just a hick-town party girl who didn't belong here! }}
** You could have felt sorry for her if she hadn't been such a psychopath. He finally works her into such a frothing rage with "It's not being a snob if they really are better than you!" that the jury had no problem convicting her AND giving her the death penalty.
* Paul Robinette got one early in the first season episode "Out of the Half-Light", in which [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines|a black teenager claims she was raped by white police officers and a publicity hungry congressman uses this to inflame racial tensions]]. By the end of the episode, Robinette finds out the whole thing started as a lie to the girls parents that spun out of control. As he privately confronts the congressman with this evidence, we get this exchange:
{{quote| '''Congressman Eaton''': You look me in the eye and you tell me this system is just. That this system is ''equal''.<br />
'''Robinette''': Sometimes the system stinks, Eaton. I know that as well as you do. But don't tell me for one damn minute that tearing down a 200 year old justice system, no matter how flawed, is going to alter the consciousness of a society! We're past the separate drinking fountain stage. We're past legal discrimination. We're at the ''hearts and minds'' stage. And believe me, there's no quick fix.<br />
