And Justice for All (1979)

Thomas G. Waites: Jeff McCullaugh

Quotes 

• Jeff McCullaugh : If everyone agrees that I'm innocent, how come I'm going *back* to jail?

  Arthur Kirkland : There's enough proof, Jeff, it's just the court won't accept the proof.

  Jeff McCullaugh : Why not?

  Arthur Kirkland : Well, there's a law - there's a law that says that evidence must be submitted within a certain time period. And - and ours came in three days late.

  Jeff McCullaugh : What difference does that make? What difference does it make if it came in three years late! They've got the proof they need. They should let me go! I don't understand this? The judge is sending me to jail and he knows I'm innocent! What's going on here?

• Arthur Kirkland : [Arthur is visiting his client Jeff McCullaugh in jail, and sees that he has been assaulted]  Jeff, what happened?

  Jeff McCullaugh : Some... somebody beat me up...

  Arthur Kirkland : Why?

  Jeff McCullaugh : I dunno, I didn't ask.

• Jeff McCullaugh : I can't stand it any more. They raped me - a whole bunch of times - and other stuff, too.

• Arthur Kirkland : You gotta give up.

  Jeff McCullaugh : Give up?

  Arthur Kirkland : Yeah. Jeff, you gotta do it.

  Jeff McCullaugh : To whom? Everybody screwed me. Who else is there?
