I'm from the South, where if you walk down the street and there's somebody behind you talking with a Southern accent, you can't tell whether it's a black or a white person.

Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.

Black jurors sit on juries every day and convict black people every day.

If it does not fit, you must acquit.

I decided I wanted to be a lawyer when I was 11 years of age.

On January 10, 1963, I was sworn in as a lawyer, so next January 10 I will have practiced law for 40 years, and I've loved every minute of it.
