“We hope that the end result is a just verdict that is also truthful, even though all sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth.”

“Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.”

“That is why a criminal trial is not a search for truth. Scientists search for truth. Philosophers search for morality. A criminal trial searches for only one result: proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”

“…In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.”

“Those who think the information brought out at a criminal trial is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth are fools. Prosecuting or defending a case is nothing more than getting to those people who will talk for your side, who will say what you want said.”

“The judge also has a truth he wants to hide: He often hasn’t been completely candid in describing the facts or the law.”

“By all that is sacred in our hopes for the human race, I conjure those who love happiness and truth, to give a fair trial to the vegetable system.”

“Impure means result in an impure end… One cannot reach truth by untruthfulness. Truthful conduct alone can reach Truth.”

“Take no truths upon trust, but all upon trial.”

“Maybe we all just want to feel special, even for a little while, to be fooled for a bit into feeling something besides the truth of our own ordinariness.”
