Dianne Wiest: Interim DA Nora Lewin

Quotes 

• A.D.A. Serena Southerlyn : [referring to Alicia Milford]  You can't seriously be considering "outing" her into a guilty plea!

  Jack McCoy : Well, don't we manipulate the system every day? Threaten to take children from parents? Embarrass spouses with their partners' infidelities?

  D.A. Nora Lewin : This is different, Jack.

  Jack McCoy : Why?

  D.A. Nora Lewin : Well, it plays into the notion that there really ***is*** something wrong with being gay. We run the risk of seeming like bigots.

  Jack McCoy : I don't see how we can abandon a viable negotiating tactic because it's politically incorrect.
