subject: The emphasis on speaking with the defendant is downplayed in CSI [print this page] In the criminal justice system, the prosecution has the burden of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution is merely an attorney with the skills needed to provide the facts and the law relating to the events alleged. It is the Crime Scene Investigators (CSI), working for the local police department, that are in charge of finding the scientific data needed to prove its case. I usually do not like crime shows. They're usually badly done...have poor plots and uninteresting characters. In CSI, the emphasis on speaking with the defendant(s) is downplayed. Typically, the CSIs speak with the defendants in order to gain some knowledge on where additional evidence can be found. The defendants are almost always respected and told that they do not have to answer if they do not wish to do so, but that the evidence will do so anyway.
I'm going to say what everyone that wrote a review about this TV show has said, CSI IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!!!! There is like nothing wrong with the show at all. The characters are just awsome (especially Nick and Sara) and the cases are wicked. My favorite from 2nd season is probably 'Bully For You" because of the case with Nick and Sara and the dead body in the bag and how sick they got with it. I love how this show shows a case and then has something personal for the characters like Nick when he said something that his babysitter did to him when he was little and Sara when she met EMT Hank for the first time. All the actors on this show make their characters so believable that it doesn't feel like you're watching a TV show and that you know them personally. My whole family and i love this show so much and we watch it together. My brother and I watch about two discs a day it's so much fun!!! If you want to buy any season of CSI buy this one it's the best.
