I'm not one of these people who says, 'I don't watch TV much.' Or looks down their nose at TV and they watch it for 20, 30 hours a week. I'm so busy. I work seven days a week that I just don't watch TV.

In the [John F.] Kennedy case, I believe the absence of a conspiracy can be proved to a virtual certainty.

To form a strong opinion, you have to be knowledgeable about the subject. You have to have access to all the relevant information. You gotta be literally an expert.
Vincent Bugliosi

My only master, my only mistress are the facts and the evidence. So if I reach a conclusion, it's only because the evidence took me there.
