Both sides should demand a speedy trial.
— Kimberly Guilfoyle
I think we need to update the existing laws to create uniformity across the states so that all people with mental illness who find themselves in the criminal justice system for committing horrific crimes will be treated exactly the same.
Sadly, as a seasoned prosecutor, I know what dark acts people are capable of.
Advocating for yourself in the context of friendship starts with choosing the right people to be part of your inner circle.
The friends I have from childhood are definitely like family to me - extended sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles.
Nobody is going to believe what you're saying if you don't believe it yourself.
Defendants would groan whenever they saw me enter a courtroom because I had a reputation for coming armed with the facts and for winning cases.
Nobody was like, 'Kimberly, we're going to let you anchor general news or host a show or do any of that.' I at first started out doing legal analysis, but I had to make the case to my bosses... give me a shot, give me a chance, and I was able to do that: say, 'Let me fill in. Let me show you my range. Nothing to lose here - it's the holidays.'
The important thing is, you must give back. As good as you've been given, you must do for others as well. Somebody helped you. Who can you help, too?
You really have to prove yourself and prove your worth. I didn't come from family that had been here for generations and had all these connections.
When my mom, Mercedes, and her younger sister, Juanita, first came from Puerto Rico, they were the youngest in the family. They had to jump into a new community and really learn English, assimilate, and adapt - and I saw that. I grew up in that community.
If you put your mind to it, anything is possible.
The key lesson for me: Don't make this life about you. It's about other people.
Come prepared because you don't want to dilute the votes out there because you are uninformed and you're spoon-fed something that's inaccurate, or you don't even bother to equip yourself with the facts - anybody out there, this goes for everyone.
When I left the San Francisco DA's office, I went down to the Los Angeles district attorney's office, and I was able to try a tremendous amount - very serious cases and working in gang neighborhoods, impoverished neighborhoods - really make a difference and be impactful in those communities.
If it's something that you are opposed to or you don't want your children or family to see, then do not watch it, and the market can send a message.
In any situation, it is good to be aware of even your co-workers, and if you are uncomfortable or concerned about a colleague's behavior, report it to a supervisor.
During the 10 years I worked as a prosecutor, I always struggled with what to do with someone who was clearly mentally ill and committed a horrific crime.
We cannot turn away because a topic is unpleasant or vile. Why? Because one way to rid our society of evil is to confront it boldly.
Continual, intentional, or snarky putdowns have no place in a healthy relationship.
If I was applying for a legal position, I would highlight my experience working for the San Francisco-L.A. DA's office, and I would mention some of the high-profile cases I did, but if I was looking for another television job, I would gloss over that, and I'd mention the highlight reel of what I did in television.
You've got to be inclusive.
Talking about the loss of my parents... that was really, really difficult to go through.
In that portion of time where my parents were together, I got to see great love, great loyalty, and teamwork.
What I think you need to do is be aware and be your own best advocate. Get on the Internet, do your research, and find a group that you might be able to get involved with.
I grew up in the Mission District in San Francisco, which was largely Hispanic at the time. I was raised in a household that was really welcoming to diversity and encouraging about different people's viewpoints and ideas and backgrounds.
My mother taught me early on not to be afraid to put myself out there - especially as a woman.
I'm a very fertile Puerto Rican.
I've tried to live my life in a way that respects the beliefs of my mother and father. Everyone has blessings, gifts, passion, and drive.
My point is you've been given a powerful blessing in life in this country to be able to vote and to be able to sit on the jury, so come equipped.
I just feel so blessed to have had the time that I had with my mother. She made it so impactful in terms of how she raised me and my little brother, the values that she instilled in us, the way she inspired us, and how she lived her everyday life.
Everyone loves to feast their eyes on Times Square on New Year's Eve.
It is particularly challenging for women who are trying to stay competitive in a real estate market where men really don't have the same degree of safety concerns.
We can be judged in many ways.
It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman - stay alert and focused on your surroundings. Travel with friends. Know where you are at all times, and never let your guard down.
I wish that young people, most of all, would learn to cut ties with those who make them feel bad about themselves or about the other people they love and care for.
People can smell a fake.
I think it's very insulting to say, 'White people don't understand.' What are you talking about? You're part of the problem then if you're... speaking and labeling all white people, saying they don't understand the issue or saying they can't relate. That's really not giving people much credit, is it?
God helps those who help themselves. You have blessings. You have gifts. You have passion. You have drive. Get after it; go in there and do something. Try and make every day count.
I really saw my mom advocate on my behalf and really say, 'Hey, you're good enough.' It was from her that I learned that just because something hasn't been done before, it doesn't mean it can't be done now. You have to speak up, and you've got to assert yourself because it takes somebody to be the first one to make it happen.
The one message I always send to young people is, Don't be afraid to try different things to see what feels right and what's a good fit.
I really feel that I've carried on my mother's legacy.
My most defining moment was the death of my mother.
A friend is someone who has your back. Those in the military refer to it as, 'I got your six.' My closest friend on 'The Five' is Dana Perino.
Bob Beckel and Juan Williams are two people who I love personally. But what they say drives me absolutely nuts.
Making smart decisions on who to vote for is difficult.
Roger Ailes, he's incredible. He's the one that created 'The Five' and came up with the idea for it.
