I did marry, I did get pregnant, but as I was giving birth, my daughter and I almost died. We were rushed to the hospital. I had an emergency cesarean and in that moment, in the emergency room, I felt my grandmother come to me. She was with me and when my daughter was born, instead of naming her Hailey, I named her Lucy after my grandmother. Hailey lives in the pages of my books.

I don't believe love goes away just because you're buried in a casket.

If you are moneyed or educated, you will get a different sentence than someone who is not.

I have faith in the jury system.

With Keith's [my fiance] murder, I was changed. I thought I would be a prosecutor forever, but there were so many days when I would leave the courtroom during a trial, and go down the hall to the ladies' room, and go into a little stall, and cry.

I don't like juries having the wool pulled over their eyes. I don't think that's what the Constitution is about.

A lot of police shootings are justified, but many others are not.
