In a darkened room, the glow of a computer screen lights up the face of a quirkily attractive young woman. She wears a nose ring and a studded leather jacket, but we know she is a scientist because of her furrowed brow and the commanding way she pounds the keyboard as she enters queries into a secret database on the dark web. Surrounding her workstation are machines that are testing things—DNA, satellite images, fingerprints, the atmosphere over Seattle.
Say Joey D. runs up to Billy J. in Times Square during the afternoon matinee rush, screams “Die, you mutha-f----a” and shoots him in the head. Not ten feet away are a couple of nuns from Our Lady of Perpetual Truth on 44th Street, who see the whole thing from two different views.
Still, the jurors wonder why there are no “forensics.” No DNA, no satellite views or carpet fibers. Every show they watch has lots of high-tech information that proves definitively whether or not a person is guilty of murder. Some studies have shown that CSI syndrome leads to a bias in favor of the defense, and district attorneys are concerned. It has been proposed that prosecutors educate the jury in opening statements, explaining that TV is not real life.
