David Rosenbaum: Judge Alan Berman

Quotes 

• Judge Alan Berman : Miss Green. Delightful to see you. You grace my courtroom so rarely.

  Shambala Green : Certainly not by choice, Your Honor.

  Judge Alan Berman : Tell your client it's time to say the magic words.

  Shambala Green : [Whispers]  Not guilty.

  Angela Brandt : Not guilty.

  Paul Robinette : Your Honor, with a case this strong, the People see a substantial flight risk. We request $250,000.

  Shambala Green : The defendant has custody of her daughter, Your Honor. High bail would be a serious hardship.

  Judge Alan Berman : She should've thought of her child before she became a prostitute.

  Shambala Green : Did it ever occur to Your Honor that some women become prostitutes in order to support their children?

  Judge Alan Berman : How stupid of me. God forbid you should get a regular job. And let me point out, Miss Green, for your next visit, that's a table, not a soapbox. Bail is $150,000. Short date. In honor of motherhood.
