- We have come in the hearings before this court today to what I hope will be the final actions revolving about an unhappy and unfortunate case, one whose horrible tragedy will forever remain with me.

- I am happy to have been enabled, before it was too late, to order the verdict of the jury in the case of the People versus William Harper to be set aside.

- But, young man, although this court is convinced that to declare you guilty would have been a gross miscarriage of justice, we cannot condone your acts.

- And we can express only the hope that your experiences may not alone keep you, but thousands of others, from the vicious pitfalls of marihuana.

- Thus, I am ordering you to remain in this court during the next case, so that you will be obliged to witness what you yourself so narrowly escaped.

Top rated lines from this movie

This, I understand, could be attributed to the use of marihuana. It causes errors in time and space.
Yes, I remember. Just a young boy. Under the influence of the drug, he killed his entire family with an axe.
Honest? If you were being honest with me and honest with yourself, I'm afraid you'd tell me an entirely different story.
That happened right here, to your neighbors. It is not too much to say that in your hands lies the possibility of averting other tragedies like it.
And more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs is the menace of marihuana.
