“I promise you, each and every one of you, that the decision you make in this case will become part of your lives. I know it will. You have to make the right decision. Get it wrong and it will become a needle that works its way through your veins a little more every day. Until it reaches your heart. You hold a man's life in your hands. [...] But in reality, you hold the fate of every citizen in this city. We rely on the law to protect us. To punish those who would take our lives. We diminish our very natures if we do not honor that responsiblity. We forget the victims, if we do not do our duty. And let's be clear about this- your duty in this case, if you've listened carefully to all of the evidence, is to find the defendant guilty.”
