Famous quotes containing the words doomsday and/or defense:
“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.”
