The concept of a 'CSI Effect' suggests that popular TV crime dramas may influence courtroom proceedings, particularly jurors' perceptions and decisions. This effect supposedly began gaining attention with the OJ Simpson case and has continued to be a topic of discussion, especially since the year 2000.

Opinions of Nonbelievers

not enough evidence to prove existence
scapegoat for screwups

Since 2000, a CSI Effect has appeared to be influencing juries to convict or not convict individuals based on what they've seen on television.

should bring in something from Susan's experience
should probaly avoid dates until sources for it is found

background essay

mention Casey Anthony case
give examples of mess ups in OJ case
use OJ in argument paper (not mentioned in background essay
what the tv shows viewers
how it effects a courtroom
what was being doine

Opinions of Believers

double edged sword
police can mess up but they can't always get evidence
psychological effect
jurys think they are experts because they watch tv
people believe what they see on tv

Sources of CSI Effect

OJ Simpson case
tech effect instead
fictional procedures that people think exist
doesn't exist
investigative tv shows

My opinion

tv shows are the major contributor
began with OJ Simpson case and continued from there
