Jack McCoy: Your Honor can't seriously entertain the notion that a defendant can benefit in one murder by killing the witness by committing another.Judge Donald Karan: I didn't draft the Constitution, Mr. McCoy.Jack McCoy: No, but you can interpret it. These two cases are inextricably linked. What's the good of proving that the defendant had an opportunity to kill Buck if I can't show the jury why?Judge Donald Karan: You raise a good point.Mr. Axtell: Your Honor, any mention of the Colbin murder would prejudice the jury irreparably.Judge Donald Karan: Which is why I won't allow these two homicides to be tried together.Jack McCoy: Your Honor...Judge Donald Karan: However, what I will do is allow the People to present evidence of Alan Colbin's murder, only insofar as it pertains to motive in the murder of Ronald Buck.[seeing McCoy and Axtell both don't like his decision]Judge Donald Karan: Ooh, I always know I'm right when neither party's happy.
