Sympathetic Criminal: Difference between revisions

** Another episode of ''[[CSI New York]]'' has {{spoiler|two young boys who were trying to get enough money to pay their mother's rent}}. They ended up being robbed by a much less sympathetic bank robber who was casing the bank they robbed and {{spoiler|1=shot one of them to steal the money. [[Laser-Guided Karma|He ends up being run over in his escape attempt]] when the CSIs catch up with him}}.

** Another episode had {{spoiler|the daughter of a bitterly estranged couple, desperate to escape the pain and torment of living in the middle of such a relantionship, rob her parents so she could run away with her boyfriend (who helped her with the robbery). She never intended for her father to die, it was ''his wife'' who killed him, and even she comes off as sympathetic as the husband was willing to destroy his company, bankrupting her, their daughter, and his best friend/business partner, just to spite the wife.}}

* ''[[Leverage]]'': In the episode ''The Bank Job'', a father and son attempt rob a bank in order to pay off some meth dealers who are holding the mother hostage. Luckily, the Leverage team was in a middle of a con on a corrupt judge who with a deposit box in the bank when this all went down.

** The cast of Leverage itself probably qualifies due to their Robin Hood philosophy of [[Just Like Robin Hood|committing crimes to help people]].
