Poison (2004)

Dann Florek: Captain Donald 'Don' Cragen

Quotes 

• Donald Cragen : I'm all for getting an innocent woman out of jail, if she's innocent, but we don't have the manpower to fuel a vendetta, Casey.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : You know, Captain, it's really not that much work. I think we can swing it.

  Donald Cragen : Thank you for being such a real helper, Elliot.

• Donald Cragen : [about Karen Campbell]  Did I hear her right? That nutcase thinks the judge told her to murder her daughter?

• A.D.A. Casey Novak : Taft told Karen to get help which means he knew Alexis's poisoning was no accident. He was afraid she'd try it again with her other kids. Acquitting her gave her the means and the opportunity to commit a Class A felony.

  Donald Cragen : He's protected by judicial immunity, Casey.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : He smoked his judicial immunity the second he had an ex parte communication with the defendant.
