• Jim Rockford : It said "There is no such thing as a small injustice. There is no such thing as a minor abridgement of rights. That if even one citizen is so deprived, make no mistake, we all suffer."

  Gary Bevins : Stirring, Mr Rockford. Thank you very much.

  Jim Rockford : That was part of a summation of a uh, case that attracted quite a bit of attention a few years back. The client had been subjected to harassment, illegal search and seizure, a series of injustices in the name of justice.

  Gary Bevins : Mr Rockford, would it be too much to hope that there is a point to this rather lengthy reminiscence? The term of the current grand jury expires in nine months!

  Jim Rockford : Oh I think you'll want to hear how it ended. It's a real Cinderella story. You see the uh, defense attorney not only won an acquittal for his client with this impassioned outcry, but that very attorney was plucked from private practice by no less than the attorney general of the United States, and appointed as an assistant federal prosecutor.

  Gary Bevins : And I trust, lived happily ever after.

  Jim Rockford : I hope not, Mr Bevins, I sincerely hope not. You don't remember the words, do you Mr Bevins? Because they're your words. As you said before, the grand jury has another nine months to serve here. I'd like to think that uh, the grand jury will remember your words.
