“Guilt or innocence, that's not my job. It's my duty to pick up scum-sucking punks like yourself who are accused of a crime. A jury of twelve really stupid people who are easily swayed by rich, fat-cat, slimy lawyers, who'll do anything but tell the truth, will sit in judgment of you. It's as American as a burrito.”
Richard Crenna - Lieutenant Fergus Falls

“I'll have to send an innocent man to Siberia - vety likely to his death. It's not my doing after all - it's yours. I don't know how you feel about it, but it's a worse crime than the other in its way, more cold-blooded and fiendish.”

Edward Arnold - Insp. Porfiry

“I shall tell the truth. Because if I did not, my nights would be haunted by the spectre of an innocent man expiating under the most frightful torture a crime he never committed.”

Paul Muni - Emile Zola

“Innocent men stay home nights. They don't hide in iceboxes. And they don't take dead bodies on boat rides.”
Donald MacBride - Police Detective Roberts

“I'm innocent. I've committed no crime. A crime's been committed against me.”
Denzel Washington - Rubin Carter
