Alicia: Yes, I do Your Honor. He's innocent. Carter is innocent.
Judge: Look I can order a new trial. I can deal with the heat but why should I trust this doctor if he so easily changed his mind?
Alicia: Because he didn't so easily change his mind. He changed his mind in the face of a man's innocence. So much of what we do is uncertain Your Honor. So much of my day is working between right and wrong. But this has to be right. To do this to a man, it has to be right.

Alicia: There's Jackie! All you have to do is think her name and she appears!
