S5The Benign Prerogative

That's longer than rapists and child molesters get.... I don't see a list anymore. These are people.

I will never surrender in the War on Drugs, but if you are consistently getting slaughtered on the battlefield, you've probably misjudged your enemy.

CJ, with the press -- could you ever trust a reporter?

Is this the beginning of a joke?

If it was you whispering pardons in his ear, it was the right thing.
