Quotes[]

  • Ruffino: (making his statement to the Judge regarding his "Alfred plea") I'm aware the D.A.'s office has certain evidence they will use to try to prove that I killed Tina Reese. Now, I know this evidence is strong enough to convict me and will result in more severe punishment if I go to trial. So, I'll take this plea... without admitting guilt. (Sigh) All I wanna say... I loved Tina Reese. I loved Tina Reese. That's it.
  • Ruffino: (to McCoy) Congratulations, counselor. You got me for the one I didn't commit!
