Quote context
[...]
- You shouldn't have gone to trial with just one witness. You should have waited.
- Waited for what? Every day Mendoza is free, people are getting murdered.
- The city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, tied up the whole police force. Months.
- I pledged my word to the people that Mendoza was as good as convicted. Now what do I say?
- Mr. Mayor, if you want my resignation, you can have it. That'll give you something to say.
- Shut up. If you want a goat, I am it.
- I don't want a goat. I want a conviction.
- What do we do about Mendoza?
- Are there any other witnesses?
- If there were, don't you think I'd have them?
- It doesn't make any sense. A man commits murders, and there is nobody around to testify against him.
