Quote context

[...]

- Yes, Nick Romano is guilty. But so are we! And so is that precious thing called society.

- Society is you and you and you and all of us. We, society, are hard and selfish and stupid!

- We're scandalized by environment, and we call it crime. We denounce crime, and yet we disclaim any responsibility for it. And we lack the will to do anything about it.

- Until we do away with the type of neighborhood that produced this boy, 10 will spring up to take his place... 100, 1000, until we wipe out the slums and rebuild them!

- Knock on any door... And you may find Nick Romano.

- The newspapers have been clamoring for pictures and stories about this trial.

- Well, why don't you print this?

- They and you and I, we good people, we, the solid citizens of this community, we photographed and labeled this boy years ago. We made this rendezvous with him years ago. We brutalized and ordered him here years ago.

- If he dies in the electric chair, we killed him. Print that!

- Where do we take him now? Do we kill him? The current coursing through the blood, the nerves, the heart, the brain.

- I ask mercy from this court. I ask this so that for us who walk free, for all of us, there may be some mercy.
