CSI: Crime Scene Investigation2000

Nick Stokes:
The evidence says either one of them could have done it, but I think they were in it together.

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
Okay, I'll proceed against Marlon for the murder and bring charges against Hannah for conspiracy.

Conrad Ecklie:
Another trial? You sure you want to go through all this again?

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
Stacy's parents and the community will have my ass if I don't.

Sara Sidle:
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.

Nick Stokes:
That's right around Stacy's TOD.

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
So, did anybody talk to the delivery guy?

Sara Sidle:
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.

Nick Stokes:
But one of them did answer the door. [Sara nods] So that means they were not together at the time Stacy was killed.

Conrad Ecklie:
Yeah. So much for conspiracy. We're right back where we started.

A.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.

Nick Stokes:
Marlon's your guy. He's your guy - just because Hannah wasn't there doesn't mean she didn't help plan this.

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
Well, I sure hope it's Marlon, because he's the one we have on trial.

Nick Stokes:
I stand by the case we filed.

Conrad Ecklie:
I agree. The girl's just trying to protect him.

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
Sara?

Sara Sidle:
This was more about brains than brawn. I think Hannah did it.

Conrad Ecklie:
Two out of three.

A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair:
In my world, that's called an acquittal.
