Stephanie March: ADA Alexandra 'Alex' Cabot

Quotes 

• Alexandra Cabot : [to the judge about Richard Morgan]  Your Honor, you're looking at Bernard Madoff, The Karate Kid edition.

  Ingrid Block : That's prejudicial, Judge. I want her censured.

  Judge Maskin : I don't see any jury here, Ms. Block, and she certainly isn't going to prejudice me.

• Elliot Stabler : [about Ingrid Block]  Yeah, boo-hoo-hoo. She let him rot in prison for two decades. What the hell is wrong with her?

  Alexandra Cabot : If she had come forward, she would have been disbarred, maybe gone to prison.

  Donald Cragen : For providing evidence that would set a wrongfully accused man free?

  Alexandra Cabot : Only Massachusetts allows an attorney to break privilege if he or she knows of actual innocence and since privilege doesn't die with the client, she just committed career suicide.

• Elliot Stabler : [When Ingrid Block is put on trial]  Alex...

  [sighing] 

  Elliot Stabler : This is wrong.

  Alexandra Cabot : Am I missing something? The only reason we're in that courtroom is because you arrested lngrid Block.

  Elliot Stabler : I think I made a mistake. I want you to drop the charges.

  Alexandra Cabot : Too late. McCoy certainly won't let me, and after what I just did in there, the jury has no choice but to convict.

  Elliot Stabler : Unless I give them one.

  [walks off] 

• Alexandra Cabot : I am tired of defense attorneys hiding behind privilege to withhold evidence.
