John Cullum: Defense Attorney Barry Moredock

Quotes 

• Barry Moredock : [to Casey]  You can't put Saul Picard on trial.

  Casey Novak : I don't have a choice, Barry. Just because he's schizophrenic doesn't mean he can't stand trial.

  Barry Moredock : You know he's crazy.

  Casey Novak : Then file for a 730 hearing and have his competency questioned.

  Barry Moredock : He won't let me. I'm his attorney. I have to abide by what he wishes. But you don't.

  Casey Novak : So now you're asking me for help.

  Barry Moredock : He can waive extradition if he's declared incompetent.

  Casey Novak : And if he's declared incompetent, he can't stand trial and I can't allow that.

  Barry Moredock : Then make a deal, Casey. He pleads guilty and you send him to a mental institution instead of a prison.

  Casey Novak : If you think Jack McCoy is gonna let me get away with that, you are crazier than he is.

  Barry Moredock : So that's what this is about. The new boss wants to show he's tough on crime and you want to be a team player instead of doing the right thing.

  Casey Novak : The right thing? Saul Picard raped an 11-year-old girl and beat her to within an inch of her life.

  Barry Moredock : No, Casey. That's Saul Picard. Look at him. He's not the same man who raped Sabrina Farmer.

• Casey Novak : [to Barry Moredock about Saul Picard]  The Feds want to extradite him under the table. That's a violation of due process. You're a constitutional lawyer.

  Barry Moredock : I never thought I'd see the day when a prosecutor would ask for my help.
