I have sat in many court cases when I was assigned to our court transport division. There were alot of cases where the Prosecuting Attorney had to do a lot of talking about the CSI effect and how that isn't real science on how crime labs work. It is a frustrating thing when an attorney can cast doubt on no "forensic science" linking their client even though there is tons of other evidence that supports the charge and juries buy into it because all of the early CSI shows talked that it was "real police science".
I used to watch it in the early years, but then they went to fantasy land, even too much for my suspension of disbelief when they pulled a 20 year old fingerprint off a piece of exposed metal on a chimmey.
