Joseph Wambaugh Civil servants take forever to do anything. Joseph Wambaugh Every time I write a nonfiction book I get sued. Joseph Wambaugh I certainly believe it's over for the jury system, but we won't admit it for a while. Joseph Wambaugh I enjoy adapting my own work, or anybody's work. I like to adapt books.

Joseph Wambaugh The Onion Field, that one got pretty close to me because I was a cop when it happened. I saw some of the indifference that my police department showed to the surviving officer. Joseph Wambaugh The serial arsonist is the most difficult to apprehend because the evidence is burned up. Joseph Wambaugh The time has come for professional jurors. Joseph Wambaugh Today, lawyers are attacking more; they're attacking everything. A good example is the O.J. Simpson case. Joseph Wambaugh What I didn't know was that if I didn't stand with my back to the wall, Hollywood people would unscrew my ass and sell it down the river. Joseph Wambaugh What is it about the component of fire? People have written about it. People have wondered about it. Joseph Wambaugh |
