CSI Season 1, Episode 9

最後一幕很適合被放在今晚討論死刑的脈絡。

Grissom: Nobody stopped to ask Candlewell if he was all right. They just assumed, because he was kicking the back of Nate's seat, that he was a jerk -- because he was pushing his call button that he was bothering the Flight Attendant -- because he was trying to get into the lavatory he was making a scene -- because he was going back and forth up and down the aisles, he was posing a threat.

Catherine: He was a threat.

Grissom: No. He turned into a threat. It didn't have to be that way. People make assumptions. That's the problem. You just did. And I think these passengers made the wrong assumption and now this guy's dead.

Warrick: Well, if that's your stance how could it have been prevented?

Grissom: If just one person had stopped and taken the time to look at the guy to listen to him, to figure out what was wrong with him it might not have happened. It took five people to kill him. It would have only taken one person to save his life. 

沒有人會去研究鄭捷或其他罪犯為何選擇這條路，只用最簡單的方式抹去犯罪的痕跡，等到下次發生同樣事件後，人們又陷入恐慌與報復的輪迴。
