Steven Keats: Jake Baron

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  MacGyver : [in disgust to reporter Jake Baron]  Man. No, actually, I think *you're* to blame.

  Jake Baron : I beg your pardon?

  MacGyver : People like you who rush to judgment or make snap accusations before you get all the facts. Who gets hurt doesn't seem to matter to you people as long as you get a few more rating points.

  Jake Baron : Sounds like you're against a free and democratic press.

  MacGyver : No, sir. Just people who abuse it. Like you, Mr. Baron.

  Jake Baron : Well, all I can say is I'm glad the rest of America doesn't think like you.

  MacGyver : You never know.

• [first lines] 

  Jake Baron : We're outside the County Courthouse on day 14 of the murder trial of Curtis Danby. This is Jake Baron with an update on the case that's cut a swath of rage and fear throughout the city, ever since that horrible night when Lisa Robins, wife of former gold medalist Wyatt Robins, was brutally shot and left to die on a filthy slum street corner in the arms of her critically wounded husband. Another sacrifice to the rising tide of street violence that's lit the fires of prejudice on both sides of the color line in this racially troubled city.
