Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 1
Areel:
Mr. Cogley is well-known for his theatrics.
Cogley:
Is saving an innocent man's career a theatric?
Stone:
Counsels will direct their remarks to the bench.
Cogley:
I'd be delighted to, sir, now that I've got something human to talk about. Rights, sir, human rights--the Bible, the Code of Hammurabi and of Justinian, Magna Carta, the Constitution of the United States, Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies, the Statutes of Alpha 3. Gentlemen, these documents all speak of rights. Rights of the accused to a trial by his peers, to be represented by counsel, the rights of cross-examination, but most importantly, the right to be confronted by the witnesses against him--a right to which my client has been denied.
Shaw:
Your Honor, that is ridiculous! We've produced the witnesses in court. My learned opponent had the opportunity to see them, cross-examine them--
Cogley:
All but one! The most devastating witness against my client is not a human being. It's a machine, an information system, the computer log of the Enterprise.
