Yet another interesting email I found which was attributed to Gene Hackman in "Narrow Margin." Haven't seen the movie but this quote makes for interesting reading...

TO CRIMINALS

I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU... I ENJOY PUTTING YOU AWAY, I REALLY DO!
IF I WANTED TO MAKE MONEY, I'D HAVE TO DEFEND YOU, AND THAT WOULDN'T BE ANY FUN.
I'D ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I NEEDED A SHOWER.
I ENJOY SITTING IN THE COURTROOM, LOOKING ACROSS AS THE JUDGE PASSES SENTENCE,
AS YOUR SHIRT COLLAR STARTS TO GET A LITTLE TOO TIGHT.
I LIKE MY SIDE OF THE COURTROOM.
THE PAY'S NOT SO GOOD,
BUT THE AIR IS A LOT BETTER!


Gene Hackman in "Narrow Margin"

Great quote, Mike. That ought to ruffle some defense feathers...

It refers to "criminals" and not the "citizens accused" so I think I'm politically correct...
