The evidence says either one of them could have done it, but I think they were in it together.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Okay, I'll proceed against Marlon for the murder and bring charges against Hannah for conspiracy.
EEcklie
Another trial? You sure you want to go through all this again?
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Hannah's parents and the community will have my ass if I don't.
Well, then maybe this is good news. I was just going over Sofia's notes from the original investigation. The night of the murder, Hannah and Marlon's parents had left them alone in the house. A pizza was delivered to the residence around 9:00 PM.
That's right around Stacy's TOD.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
So, did anybody talk to the delivery guy?
Yes, and at the point that Sofia did, a month had passed. Now, the delivery guy's at the house all the time. He recognized photos of both kids, but he could not be sure which one answered the door that night.
But one of them did answer the door. [Sara nods] So that means they were not together at the time Stacy was killed.
EEcklie
Yeah. So much for conspiracy. We're right back where we started.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Where we are is in the crapper. Look, I have to disclose the cart. Defense is going to eat me alive.
Marlon's your guy. He's your guy, just because Hannah wasn't there doesn't mean she didn't help plan this.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Well, I sure hope it's Marlon, because he's the one we have on trial.
I stand by the case we filed.
EEcklie
I agree. The girl's just trying to protect him.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
Sara?
This was more about brains than brawn. I think Hannah did it.
DJA.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair
In my world, that's called an acquittal.
EEcklie
[Ecklie tries to call Grissom, no answer, so he leaves a message on his phone] Gil, Conrad again. Message three, call me back please. [To Sara] It feeling better?
EEcklie
Good. So, you must know where he is.
EEcklie
Really? Okay, uh... [pauses] Look, I don't wanna play any games here, this is as difficult for me as it is for you. So, let's just, uh, get this over with, shall we? Okay then, um, this is an administrative inquiry. You and your supervisor were in direct violation of lab policy.
EEcklie
[pauses for a second] Are. In direct violation of lab policy, which states that members of the same forensic team may not engage in a romantic relationship. So, when did you and Supervisor Grissom begin your relationship?
Well, we've always had a relationship.
EEcklie
[pauses, looks uncomfortable] I mean...when did you become intimate?
Two years ago. I think it was a Sunday.
EEcklie
You've been dodging me, it's time to talk. Gil, nobody wants to hear about your love life less than I do, but since you didn't handle this right, I have to take a formal statement. [Grissom (^^) stares at him] It should have been a conversation between friends. I mean, we could find someway around this. Catherine could have done Sara's evaluations. Why didn't you just tell me?
We didn't want you to know.
EEcklie
Don't most women like the world to know they are dating someone?
Where do you get your information about women, Conrad?
EEcklie
[php] Okay... so when did you two... you know...
EEcklie
You know what? You two need to get your stories straight.
EEcklie
[arriving at Warrick's crime scene] Gil, how do you wanna handle this?
I want us to do this, Conrad. I want Nick and Catherine on the car.
I feel sorry for whoever did this.
[finishes her phone call and walks over to Grissom and Ecklie] Greg's coming back from the airport, I told him to go straight to the lab. (pauses) We're gonna have to take your clothes to get processed.
I'm gonna go with Warrick.
so all you had was an eyewitness who was a half a mile away, testimony from Jeremy Ken't ex-cellmate and a single fingerprint from a rock?
EEcklie
Got it figured out? Legal just put this on my desk. [Hands Catherine an envelope.]
I've been subpoenaed by Jeremy Kent. He's requesting a pre-trial conference.
Yeah, he probably wants to talk to you about how he got life based on a rock.
EEcklie
Alright, look guys, I got a press conference in an hour and I'd rather not say something that I'll have to backtrack later on. Did Wilkes intentionally kill Olivia Hamilton?
Nick [same time as Ray]: I'd say so.
Maybe you should cancel the press conference.
Ecklie (to Morgan): If you think about it, a wedding's a pretty good place to rob, huh?
You'd be the wedding expert, I guess.
EEcklie
Your mom's a multiple offender too, you know.
But her second one stuck.
Finn (to Ecklie & D.B.): I, uh, found some other stolen things in the ambulance, and if it's okay with you two, I'd like to return one tiny piece of evidence.
It has sentimental value.
I didn't know you had sentiments.
I didn't say they were mine.
