Quotes 

• John Munch : [about Jaleel Amir]  When we collared him, he was sitting in first class, no cap, no beads, styling in totally westernized Internet casual.

  Alexandra Cabot : His wardrobe isn't helping me. If the jury thinks Jaleel is culture-programmed to kill he gets his insanity verdict.

  Donald Cragen : Well, we're out of people to say otherwise.

  Elliot Stabler : His culture didn't program him to kill. His father did. Jaleel is afraid of him. Everybody is afraid of Saleh Amir.

• Aziza Amir : [testifying in court]  Nafeesa came home to be with us. My husband asked her if she was still a virgin...

  [Aziza's face is uncovered as she testifies] 

  Aziza Amir : ... She wasn't.

  Alexandra Cabot : What did he do?

  Aziza Amir : Hit her. She fell. When Jaleel tried to help her, my husband said, "Let her lie there like she lies with her American boyfriend."

  Alexandra Cabot : What happened next?

  Aziza Amir : My husband got a knife from the kitchen. Jaleel, he begged him not to. But my husband told Jaleel to kill her... for our honor...

  [Aziza's voice shakes] 

  Aziza Amir : ... kill her... to prove his manhood. And... he... stabbed her.

  [cries] 

  Aziza Amir : And... they took her away.

  [Jaleel shakes and holds back tears]
