Blame who?

What?

Over at The Drudge Report, an article states that experts believe that the television show CSI is to blame for 'smarter' murderers (oxymoron anyone?) I personally do not agree, but let me play devil's advocate for a second (debate mode). If you are going the length to blame CSI, you need to blame the A&E shows like Cold Case Files and The First 48. Those shows are worse than CSI, for they are, what we like to call, real. This argument would provide more cannon fodder than the CSI one.

On the flip side...
"People are getting more sophisticated with making sure they're not leaving trace evidence at crime scenes," - Chuck Morrow, chief of the criminal division in the Trumbull County Prosecutor's office.

This has little do to with watching CSI (which I personally do not). It's a form of evolution. If you happen to notice that more and more idiots are getting caught in their murders, then obviously changes need to be made...and they are. Simple internet searches nowadays reveal anything; you do not have to watch CSI to find out that bleach destroys DNA.

"Most people who commit crimes are not very bright and don't take many precautions," Pozner said. "CSI and all the other crime shows will make no difference." - Larry Pozner, former president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.


Amen.

PS - I blame Leftside.
