Zitat des Tages von Marcia Clark:

Trayvon Martin broke my heart.

I chose law because writing was involved. I didn't realize how boring legal writing was, but I even learned to love that.

Marcia Clark

You amp things up and you speed things up, but technically, you can still be legally correct. This is the big beef I have with novels as well as television shows - it actually makes for a better show when you accommodate the truth.

Marcia Clark

The prosecution has to go with the evidence and the facts and tell the story as it happened. The defense has more creative freedom. All you have to do is look for a defense that works. But it doesn't have to be the truth. Sometimes you get lucky and it is, but sometimes you don't, and either way, it doesn't matter.

I had the perm because I wanted wash-and-wear hair. I didn't want to be bothered with it.

Marcia Clark

I like cable stuff; I really do - 'American Horror Story,' 'American Crime Story.'

The prosecution has an ethical duty to ensure not just that they get a conviction when the defendant is guilty, but also to ensure that they get it by means of fair trial, and that means a fair trial for the defense as well as the prosecution.

I actually was a defense attorney first.

The only thing the defense has to do is take care of the client and see to it that they attack every weak spot on the prosecution's case. It's up to the judge to make sure that they don't pull any fast ones.

Before I was a prosecutor, I was a defense attorney. I took a cut in pay because I wanted to stand up for the victims.

I have straight hair. If I don't blow it out, it's not good.

It's gratifying when younger women come up and say, 'I went to law school because of you.' My heart swells; then it's like, wait, are you glad, or do you blame me?

I think cameras should be in the courtroom, but they need to be managed properly. You need a judge to hold the line.

Marcia Clark

I don't feel like an icon; I don't think of myself as an icon.

Marcia Clark

I loved writing when I was a kid and thought about being a writer then. But I didn't have the confidence or belief that I could earn a living that way, so I never took myself seriously.

Marcia Clark

If you're going to educate the public and tell them how things happen in the courtroom, then you really owe them the duty to do it right. Don't misinform.

That's who I was: a prosecutor. I really loved it.

You never know what's going to happen when somebody endeavors to do a true crime story. It can be horribly misleading.

Marcia Clark

When I first joined the DA's office, there weren't that many women. So there was a fair degree of sexism. Everybody kind of got over it when they saw you doing your job.

As I listened to the verdicts in the Casey Anthony case, acquitting her of the homicide of her baby girl, I relived what I felt back when court clerk Deirdre Robertson read the verdicts in the Simpson case. But this case is different. The verdict is far more shocking. Why? Because Casey Anthony was no celebrity.

Marcia Clark

Most of my interviews have been with millennials, and it's been a fascinating window into my kids' world. It's been so wonderful to see a generation that seems so savvy in so many ways - and so much cooler than we were.

After the verdict was read in the Simpson case, as the jury was leaving, one of them, I was later told, said, 'We think he probably did it. We just didn't think they proved it beyond a reasonable doubt.'

Jury instructions are so numerous and complex, it's a wonder jurors ever wade through them. And so it should come as no surprise that they can sometimes get stuck along the way. The instruction on circumstantial evidence is confusing even to lawyers. And reasonable doubt? That's the hardest, most elusive one of all.

Marcia Clark

I made mistakes in every trial.

Marcia Clark

I wound up getting pulled into being a consultant on the Lifetime drama 'For the People.' The executive producer said, 'I want you to write scripts.' We sold pilots to a bunch of different networks.
