Double Cross (2006)

Robert David Hall: Chief ME Dr. Al Robbins

Quotes 

• Al Robbins : [about the victim]  Time of death was sometime between 2:00 and 4:00. Nasty head wound. She was actively bleeding, so she had to have been alive when she was tied to the cross. Good chance she died of suffocation.

  Gil Grissom : Like Jesus.

  Al Robbins : Well, Jesus had a footrest. He was able to lift himself up and take short breaths. Her pectoral muscles probably became paralyzed and the intercostal muscles were unable to function. She was able to breathe out, but not breathe in. In time, carbon dioxide built up in her lungs and bloodstream. Edema built up in the chest cavity. Heart went into fibrillation.

  Gil Grissom : Gruesome torture in any century.
