CSI effect
- A perceived influence on jurors, arising from crime TV shows, where they may hesitate to convict if sufficient forensic evidence is not presented, though it's often not necessary or available
- The lack of DNA evidence in the trial possibly contributed to a real CSI effect among the jury members.
- Some legal experts question whether the CSI effect has a significant impact on court cases.
- Defense lawyers must be aware of the potential CSI effect, as jurors may expect a higher level of forensic evidence than is realistically available or necessary.
