F.J. Rio: Joleg

Quotes 

• Joleg : It's common knowledge that all Benkarans are criminals; so, when I was found in the vicinity of a murder, I was immediately arrested.

  Neelix : Are you saying you didn't do it?

  Joleg : I told you - I'm Benkaran. What I say... doesn't matter.

• Joleg : After you're convicted, the family of the victim sentences you.

  Neelix : Well, shouldn't you be sentenced by someone less partial, like a judge?

  Joleg : Vekto valek k'vadim. It's ancient Nygean; it means 'favor the victims.' What if... I stole your game board? What right would a judge have to assign a value to your loss? To him, it's just a game board, but to you it might be a priceless family possession. And what if I murdered your child?

  Neelix : I think I get your point.
