Quotes 

• A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : [to Catherine]  How long was the baby left inside the car?

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : Based on the time of death, uh, we estimate roughly an hour. The 9-1-1 call came in 11:30 in the morning.

  A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : Okay. And what time does Paul Winston start work?

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : According to Captain Brass... . uh, 10:00 a.m.

  A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : Hour and a half. Come on. I got a 3-year-old at home and I've left him inside in a covered garage with groceries two minutes tops, but two hours in this heat?

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : I know. It's a tragedy.

  A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : You know, cases like these almost never see the inside of a courtroom, but this one will.

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : Is there any worse punishment than losing your child?

  A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : Yeah, jail time. I want him behind bars so the next time a parent steps away from their vehicle in triple degree heat, they check the backseat before they lock the door.

  C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows : Doesn't change my job.

  A.D.A. Jeffrey Sinclair : Look, I need you guys to thoroughly document this case. I don't want any more surprises in court. So, from the car to the kid, just try to cross your T's and dot your I's, okay?
