Baseball bat!

In the pilot of CSI there was a guy who was killed supposedly because he got rich from a slot machine and one of the guys was jealous. They thought that he had jumped off the roof or someone had pushed him. They used dummies and threw them off different ways and saw how they landed, then they matched their landing positions to the victim. Thats how they found out how he died. But we think that there are too many variables to judge it like that. For instance, wind is a factor, the clothes he was wearing, etc. So we think that they needed a more sicentific way of knowing or other proof to determine how he died.

covering up for your grandson....you'll get caughtttt

In this episode, there was someone killed that got by a car. It turns out that a grandson was driving his grandfather's car and did a hit and run. They took the prints off the body and related to the prints on the killer. They found out that it was indeed the grandson even though his granddad had been trying to cover up for his son so that he wouldn't go to jail. Can they really match those prints that precise? We're a little hestitant to say so. blog out.

bugs bugs bugs

In this episode there was a wife who was found wrapped up in a blanket and found dead on the scene with bugs all over the place. Well, they took samples of the the bugs and couldn't quite tell correctly how long she had been dead. So then they decided to use a pig and wrap it up in a blanket and study the bugs. We were wondering if that is actually accurate. Are they really that related to humans that you can do that?Also when you clean blood off like that is the stain thay apparent when you put the chemical on it? Blog out.

Chopping up your lover

In a boy and his dad were playing with their dog in a big open desert and the dog brought back a human bone. Then CSI came to the scene and they searched the entire field for the rest of the bones. Also, there was a bride who was having her bachelorette party and she had sex with the stripper. Her husband showed up and killed the stripper. The point that I will be challenging in this episode is that they only tested one of the girls to see if she was the one who did it. When the bride admitted to being the one who had sex with him they didnt even test her to find out. And for the woman who chopped up her loved one, me and al don't understand how you could do that to someone you love, even if they asked you to. Blog out.

Too Tough To Die

In this past episode of CSI, it was about a rape victim who was discovered on the side of the road, and a murder case between two guys in the back yard of a trailer park. They found who the rapist was by using scent pads along with dogs and matching a belt loop that had been ripped off to a pair of his pants. I don't think that using a belt loop is a very viable source for determining if someone is guilty of raping an individual. The episode didn't show that they tested him or anything to match him with what they found on the victim. All they did was match up the belt loop. What if someone else had that exact same pair of pants with a missing belt loop. And how do they know that it was just one guy who did the raping? What if there were two guys who did it? Just because there didn't find two belt loops or two hats doesn't mean that just one person did it.

brotherly love

The episode we watched yesterday was about two brothers and one killed the other brother because of money and familial problems. There was also a trucker who killed a bunch of women with his girlfriend. I think that in the brother killing, they linked him to the murder by glass that they found in the cuff of his pants to the window that he broke. They found out that it was the same glass by checking the density of the two. I thought that was very realistic and could find that it was matching glass. However I am going to challenge how they found that trucker. They used some sort of computer program and were just typing in variables which supposedly eliminated the truckers until they found the one that committed the killings. I dont think they could have actually done that to find someone who did the killing. They were typing in too precise variables.

Crate and Burial

In last week's episode, there was a girl who got buried alive in a poorly planned escape out of her marriage with her husband's gym instructor. We think it was very hollywood in the plot, but the science was very interesting. However we thought it was real cool how they used the helicopter light to decipher body movement in the gold mines. Another captivating epdisode CSI!
