tuxedos and robberies

In this episode it was discovered that there were burglaries happening at these elegant parties but the thing they were after...was information. The tuxedos were wired so that they coulld take information from computers like bank information etc. Well the CSI's discovered it because the tuxedo was laying on this white lit up table and they computers were being hacked into by someone within the building. They realized it was the coat once the table was the only thing that was lighting up once they shut off all the power. They burglarers were escaping in fancy cars that were spiffed up with things like tire laser shooters. One of the guys got in the way during the burglary and was killed. The burglarers in the getaway car scalped him with their ignition flame. I think the whole thing with the smart water is very debateable because i dont know if is likely that they can really see that through a camera. The technology they use in the show sometimes seems fake.

Street RACING and bathroom killings!!!

In this episode, it was about those hooligans who do street racing with those little skate board things in the streets of New York City. It is illegal because it is extremely dangerous but those who compete take it very seriously and some are even sponsored. Well a guy died because his suit lit on fire due to his shoes. His shoes were wore down because you use your feet to stop you and normally they put metal in the bottom of the shoe so it lasts longer. Well this time...the guy did not last very longl. His board shoots off with a flame and as he was stopping the metal in the bottom of the shoe caused sparks and eventually lit his flammable suit on fire. He died but they CSI guys thought that it was an envious boarder because he was getting a faster time. But eventually they figured it out and it was all in the shoesss. There was also another killing where a girl died in a New York City public bathroom...she drowned. Her long lost lover was in jail and they were sending secret message between each other in the stamps. He left some of his blood in a ketchup packet to make the CSI's confused. They thought it was another guy with the exact same DNA who had killed her but really he was doing it to throw them off because there was no way he could have killed her while he was in jail. He thought it would free him from jail and he could be with hsi lover because he didnt mean for her to die. Someone from a the bathroom company had tampered with the wires and water flooded the bathroom killing her. It seems very unlikely to me that someone with the exact same DNA could have committed the crime so im surprised they toko that into consdieration at first.

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.
