Sterling K. Brown: Christopher Darden

Quotes 

• Marcia Clark : What is it with this case? Every time I think I get my bearings...

  Bill Hodgman : It's crazy. They're going racial.

  Christopher Darden : You know, I think this could stick.

  Bill Hodgman : No way. Nobody's gonna buy into this. It's desperate, transparent, and coming from "Brentwood" Bob Shapiro.

  Christopher Darden : I know a lot of people who would believe it.

  Marcia Clark : Darden's right. This move may be sleazy and cynical, but it could work. They're trying to take down the LAPD. We have to stop looking at this case as a slam dunk. This article... it's a declaration of war.

• [Chris Darden arrives at Marcia Clark's office] 

  Christopher Darden : You rang?

  Marcia Clark : Yep. Come on in. Hypothetical question.

  Christopher Darden : Hmmm?

  Marcia Clark : What do you think about A.C. Cowlings aiding and abetting?

  Christopher Darden : Really?

  Marcia Clark : Mm-hmm.

  Christopher Darden : Well, it's complicated. On one hand, he was the driver in what looked like Simpson's getaway attempt. There were passports, fake beard, $8,700 in cash.

  Marcia Clark : Mm-hmm.

  Christopher Darden : Refused to stop the vehicle for police when ordered. On the other hand, Simpson was holding a gun to his own head. He may have pointed it at Cowlings. I guess it comes down to establishing what the situation was inside the vehicle.
