Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 17, 2016 American actor Richard Crenna died on January 17 2003. Key quote: "Guilt or innocence, that's not my job. It's my duty to pick up scum-sucking punks like yourself who are accused of a crime. A jury of twelve really stupid people who are easily swayed by rich, fat-cat, slimy lawyers, who'll do anything but tell the truth, will sit in judgment of you.
