A Matter of Justice (1993 TV Movie)

Patty Duke: Mary Brown

Quotes 

• Dusty : So, are you satisfied, Mother Brown?

  Mary Brown : Not yet!

  Dusty : Why not? You've already destroyed my life taking my daughter away and turning all of my friends against me. You've done everything you can to punish me for something I didn't even do. What more could you possibly want?

  Mary Brown : You took my son's future. I want yours. If I can't have your life, I can take away your freedom to live it.

  Dusty : Innocent until proven guilty and you're a long way from proving me guilty. I am gonna walk out of here and I am gonna wave goodbye as I do.

• Dusty : Chris was no boy scout. He abused me and her abused our daughter too.

  Mary Brown : That's ridiculous! Chris would never strike that child.

  Dusty : He would and he did.

• Mary Brown : What I most remember her saying is that she would see Chris dead before got custody.

  Dusty : That is a lie!

  Female Judge : Sit down!

  Dusty : The whole thing is a lie!

  Meg Collins : No, no,no!

  Female Judge : Miss Collins, will you please instruct your client to calm down?

  Dusty : She threatened me! She threatened me right from the start! She threatened me! She's jealous! She's jealous because Chris loved me and not her! You are a damn liar!

  Female Judge : That's enough! Bailiff, this court now stands in recess.
