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 There was a lot going on in LA with the Rodney King riots. I was living in San Diego at that time. It didn't get much coverage there.

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 You've got people who are looking at DNA evidence and other evidence like that and they're ignoring it. Joseph Wambaugh |
