Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or law:

    A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.
    Clifford Irving (b. 1930)

    It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
