Hailey [as A Character] Was Born When I Left The Courtroom And Moved To New York For Cochran And Grace, My Tv Show With Johnnie Cochran. I Moved With Two Boxes Of Clothes, A Curling Iron, And $300; I Didn't Know A Soul In The City, So I Would Come Home At Night And I'd Be All Alone And Just Write. I Missed The Courtroom And [what Led Me To The Courtroom] So Much I Wrote About It.

I Don't Know How Much Longer That's Going To Last But I Can Tell You This Much: If I Was To Listen And Pay Attention To Everyone That Criticized Me For, Some Rightly And Some Wrongly, I'd Stay Home Under The Bed. I Don't Mean Under The Covers, I Mean Under The Bed. I Would Never Have Achieved A Single Thing.

My Husband Makes Me Stay Totally Quiet In Movies Because Otherwise It's [five Minutes In] And I Go, "oh, So-and-so Did It," And He's Like, "ok, I Haven't Even Finished My Popcorn And You Ruined It For Me."

If You Are Moneyed Or Educated, You Will Get A Different Sentence Than Someone Who Is Not.

If I Listened To My Critics, I Would Still Be At Home Under My Bed Right Now.

With Every Story That Tv Covers, Somebody - Some Corporation, Some Shareholders - Are Making Money. That's True Whether Covering Libya, Iraq, The Tsunami In Japan, Osama Bin Laden, Whatever Story There Is. That Day, The Shareholders Are Making Money Off It. Every Newspaper That's Sold, Somebody's Making A Dime.

There's Rampant Sexism, Of Course There Is! It Just Goes Without Saying. Every Woman In The Workplace Knows This; [every Woman] In The Workplace Has To Work Harder Than A Man To Prove Themselves.

Based On What I Know Of The Case, Burke Ramsey Was Not The Killer. I Absolutely Do Not Believe That Burke Ramsey Had Anything To Do With His Sister's Murder.

If I Dare To Tear Up Or Shed A Tear, Then I'm Criticized For That As Well! It's A Horrible Double Standard, But Quite Frankly, I Don't Have Time Enough To Fight That Battle And Fight Crime. I Chose To Fight Crime And Ignore The Rest. I Just Keep Going To The Best I Can.

I Had No Plans To Be Ever A Lawyer, A Crime Fighter [in School].

I Think All Politicians Lie.

I Majored In Shakespearean Studies At A Very Tiny School In Georgia.

I Never Thought I'd Get To Have Children; To Me [they're] Just A Miracle.

I Cracked A Child Prostitution Ring - I'd Worked With Three Vice Cops Every Day For Months, Out On The Street, In The Cold, Trying To Track Down The Pervs And The Young Girls Being Prostituted.we Finally Got The Convictions.six Or Seven Months Later, I Was Working, And I Glanced Up At The Tv, And It Was A Report On A Federal Case.it Was All Three Of Them, In Federal Court, In Handcuffs. Every Time They Busted A Drug Lord Or A Doper, They'd Take All Their Money And Their Jewelry And Flat Screens Before Sending Them To Jail. They Had Been Stealing From Dopers For Years!

Well, Of Course I Think People Can Be Forgiven. But Our Justice System Is Not Set Up To Dispense Forgiveness. You Can Go To The Local Priest For That.

I'm All About The Crockpot.

I Do Not Favor The Gag Order.

In School [i Wanted] To Be An English Teacher.

English Teacher

I Often Get Too Emotionally Involved In My Cases.

The Fact Remains, In The Wrestling Industry There Is A Very High Occurrence Of Untimely Deaths For A Lot Of Different Reasons. I Feel It's The Industry's Fault. I Don't Think These Guys And Women, But Mostly Guys Are The Ones Dying Inordinately Young, I Don't Think That They Are Told All The Risks Of What They're Getting Into.

I Love To Cook. In Fact, At This Exact Moment, I Am Trying Something New: I Am Cooking A Whole Chicken In My Crockpot, Which I've Never Done Before. I Browned It With Garlic Powder, Salt And Pepper, And I Put A Bunch Of Celery And Onions - Which I'll Have To Hide From The Children Because They Claim To Hate Onions - And I'm Going To Make Homemade Mashed Cream Potatoes. I Always, Before I Leave For Work In The Morning, Have Supper Cooking. That Way, When I Come Home And They Come Home From School, There's All Kinds Of Good Smells In The House.

You Always Think "woulda, Coulda, Shoulda." I Wish That I Had Prosecuted Tot Mom, I Wish I'd Prosecuted Oj, And I Wish I Had Prosecuted The Jonbenet Ramsey Case.

I Don't Expect Everybody To Like Me. If You Try To Please Everybody, By Changing Your Position And Your Personality, Every Time You Do That You Lose A Little Bit Of Yourself.

I Don't Like Juries Having The Wool Pulled Over Their Eyes. I Don't Think That's What The Constitution Is About.

I Did Marry, I Did Get Pregnant, But As I Was Giving Birth, My Daughter And I Almost Died. We Were Rushed To The Hospital. I Had An Emergency Cesarean And In That Moment, In The Emergency Room, I Felt My Grandmother Come To Me. She Was With Me And When My Daughter Was Born, Instead Of Naming Her Hailey, I Named Her Lucy After My Grandmother. Hailey Lives In The Pages Of My Books.

I Really Like My Doctors. Some Of Them I Love. I Trust Them.

Honestly, Some Cases Have Been More Famous Than Others - Like Tot Mom, Or Steven Avery, Or Scott Peterson - But I Would Not Characterize Any One As Being More Special To Me, More Intriguing, Or More Important Because That Would Be Placing One Victim As More Important, Or One Defendant As More [notorious] Than Others, And I Don't Think That's Right.

I Am Not Anti-cop, I Am Pro-cop.

I Really Believe That Professional Wrestlers Are Not Protected. I Think Everybody Gets A Big Kick Out Of Watching Them And Whether The Wrestling Is Real Or Not, People Love Watching It.

I Think That Those Wrestlers, Those Women And Men That Go In The Ring Are Not Protected. I Don't Think Anybody Is Ever Looking Out For Them And I Think That They Are Used Badly.

I Was 47 When I Got Pregnant. I'd Been Trying For A Couple Of Years And Thought It Would Never Happen.

I Don't Believe Love Goes Away Just Because You're Buried In A Casket.

I Would Have Liked To Personally Have Prosecuted Scott Peterson.

I'm A Runner. I Like To Run.

I Was In The Courtroom Prosecuting Violent Felonies For Well Over A Decade.

Court Tv Will Always Hold A Special Place In My Heart, And I Will Always Look Back At My Time There With Great Gratitude And Affection.

I Very Much Miss Trying Cases - I Knew That I Made A Difference In The World Working With Crimes Directly And Trying To Get Verdicts That Spoke The Truth. On Tv, You Never Really Know What Effect You're Having.

I Always Thought That Was One Of The Single Most Important Things A Prosecutor Could Do Is To Seek Justice For The Families Of Victims.

My Father Was A Railroad Man His Entire Life; 43 Years For Southern Railroad.

After I Lost My Fiance, It Seemed Like It Would Be Better To Always Be Alone Than To Risk Being Hurt Again.

If You Look At The Statistics Of Fratricide Or Intra-sibling Homicide, It's Extremely Rare. And Look At Burke [ramsey] And Jonbenet At The Time Of Her Murder. She Was The Powerhouse, The Firecracker; She's The Dominant One, Not Him. I Just Don't See It. And As I Recall, John Ramsey Passed A Lie Detector Test. I Can Unequivocally Say That Burke Is Not The Killer Nor Do I Think John Ramsey Is The Killer. Let's Leave It There.

I'm On A Search For The Truth.

I Have Faith In The Jury System.

A Lot Of Police Shootings Are Justified, But Many Others Are Not.

I Don't Really Want To Have Any Part Of Getting Guilty People Off.

I Think The Truth Is Black-and-white .

Black And White

I Love To Be With My Twins. They Are My True Joy In Life.

With Keith's [my Fiance] Murder, I Was Changed. I Thought I Would Be A Prosecutor Forever, But There Were So Many Days When I Would Leave The Courtroom During A Trial, And Go Down The Hall To The Ladies' Room, And Go Into A Little Stall, And Cry.

If I Was To Listen And Pay Attention To Everyone That Criticized Me, I'd Stay Home Under The Bed.

It's Hard For Me To Believe Someone Could Harm A Child.

I Was A Prosecutor For Many Years, I'm A Crime Victim Myself, And I've Tried So Many Cases I Don't Even Know How Many Anymore.

For The Most Part, Cops Are Decent And Honorable, But That's How I Know That There Are Bad Cops, Cops That You Think You Know So Well.

I Had Always Wanted To Name A Daughter Hailey, After Halley's Comet From Once In A Lifetime.

Once In A Lifetime

I Have 'to Kill A Mockingbird' Signed By Harper Lee. That Is My Prized Possession.

Prized Possessions

The Haters Can Just Keep Hating But I'm Certainly Not Stopping Because Of Them. But I Can't Say It Doesn't Hurt. It Hurts A Great Deal. It Hurts Very Much.

Crimes Are Being Committed 24/7, 365 Days A Year. My Show Aired One Hour A Day, And Then A Repeat At 2 A.m. So I Am Launching A Website, A Crime-fighting Website, A Community. I Will Be Writing For The Website And Curating Content. Also, We'll Have Social Media, Facebook Live, And A Podcast. I'm Really Excited About It, And I Believe We Will Help People - Find Missing People, Solve Unsolved Homicides.

I Believe Very Firmly That Dash Cams And Body Cams Should Be Instituted For Every Single Police Officer In This Country. Admit It, Isn't It True That You Behave Differently When People Are Watching You? You Chew With Your Mouth Closed And You Mind Your Table Manners Because People Are Watching. Cops Are No Different. Dash Cams And Body Cams Should Be Standard Operating Procedure.

I Wouldn't Call It "police Reform," But I Would Say That Police Procedure Enhancement Could Be Helpful - These Police Shootings Are Absolutely Horrible.

Believe It Or Not, There Are People Who Want To Be On Juries.

I'd Love To Branch Out But I Have Absolutely No Interest In Romance. I Just Don't. The Thought Of Trying To Write A Rom-com ... It Just Completely Skeeves Me Out. No!

I Would Wipe My Tears, And Walk Out Of The Stall And The Bathroom, And March Myself Back Into That Courtroom Because The Only Way That I Could Deal With Keith's [ Griffin] Murder Was To Feel Like I Was Doing Something About It. In Retrospect, What Did I Do? I Know That I Put A Lot Of Bad Guys In Jail And If I Kept Them Off The Street One Day More, That May Have Been One Less Crime Victim.

Police Vetting Should [take Place] Every One To Two Years. They Should Go In For A Psychological, To See If They're Burned Out, See If They've Been Traumatized. If They're Having A Hard Time, Help Them!
