After the verdict was read in the Simpson case, as the jury was leaving, one of them, I was later told, said, 'We think he probably did it. We just didn't think they proved it beyond a reasonable doubt.'

From Marcia Clark

When I went to the prosecutor's office, I wanted to be one of the good guys that the defense could trust. I'd try fair, clean cases, pull no punches, no below-the-belt stuff. Honorable. Because that's the kind of prosecutor I wanted to deal with.

From Marcia Clark

The prosecution has to go with the evidence and the facts and tell the story as it happened. The defense has more creative freedom. All you have to do is look for a defense that works. But it doesn't have to be the truth. Sometimes you get lucky and it is, but sometimes you don't, and either way, it doesn't matter.

From Marcia Clark

I have been addicted to crime since I was born. I was making up crime stories when I was a 4- or 5-year-old kid.

From Marcia Clark

I kind of like to write fast. It keeps the pacing up. And it keeps me off the streets.

From Marcia Clark

It's one thing to evaluate a woman's work. it's another thing to say, 'Your hair was this; your makeup was that.'

From Marcia Clark

I loved my job... then the Simpson case happened.

From Marcia Clark

It's gratifying when younger women come up and say, 'I went to law school because of you.' My heart swells; then it's like, wait, are you glad, or do you blame me?

From Marcia Clark

When jurors are forced to spend day and night with each other, apart from their families and friends, they become a tribe unto themselves. Because they only have each other for company, and because most people prefer harmony to discord, there's a natural desire to cooperate, to compromise in order to reach agreement.

From Marcia Clark

When you're writing fiction, you're in every character 'cause you can't help it.
