Yeah, well, it's only a "What on earth?" moment for Crier because all she typically sees is courtroom decor.
Problem is, if he really was suspected of an escape debacle, it's perfectly justified. And yes, Titus is STILL going to fry, despite how "unfair" people think he's being treated. How soon we forget what it might have been like for Melissa, being held down, beaten and shot up with morphine, all whilst being stun-gunned, then duct-taped. This is the equivalent of a garden party by comparison.
