Law & Order, Season 11

Lewin:
Richardson stays in jail.

McCoy:
He can hire an attorney, file for a writ of habeas corpus.

Lewin:
With what, his mother's public assistance?

McCoy:
He can file pro se, like any other prisoner... or I can do the writ.

Lewin:
Aren't you worried about the precedent it sets?

McCoy:
I can file it as a private citizen, if you think it's more appropriate.

Lewin:
I don't think the public will see the distinction.

McCoy:
I think the only distinction they see is between right and wrong.

Lewin:
[smiling] Make sure my name is on the writ.
