Alice Martin, the US state prosecutor for the Northern District of Alabama, said the so-called 'CSI effect - a reference to the hit television show about gruesome crime scene investigations - hurt her in a recent corporate case.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, US television's top-rated drama last season, is one of about two dozen police procedural series airing on prime time in recent years, including two spinoffs - CSI: Miami and CSI: NY.

 UNCG: Professor Wins Award for Research into 'CSI Effect'
She studied whether “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” viewers, as compared to non-viewers, were more likely to acquit a criminal defendant and to do so on the basis of “CSI”-type factors, such as the DNA, fingerprint and hair analysis commonly depicted on the show.
The explosion of crime scene investigation shows on television has some in the media worrying: Are programs that depict characters solving crimes with forensic science leading real-life juries to have unreal expectations, to falsely acquit guilty defendants?
In fact, considering the small minority of “CSI” viewers who considered “CSI” factors in their verdicts, the data suggest that they are not influenced by such factors, or considered the very same factors as non-frequent viewers.

There's no proof that the effect exists on any significant scale, but the huge audiences that tune in "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and other popular crime shows have some prosecutors so worried that they have begun changing their courtroom tactics.
Prokopowicz expressed fear that the case was an example of what prosecutors nationwide call the "CSI effect" - juries that demand the same high-tech, incontrovertible proof of guilt that TV crime drama heroes produce every week.
But Torres and Diane Wylie, president of National Jury Project Midwest, a jury-selection consulting firm, both said they've seen no proof of the "CSI effect." Long before the popular crime shows, they said, defense attorneys would ask in court whether authorities had performed enough forensic tests.

 Defense, Prosecution Play to New 'CSI' Savvy
Prosecutors say jurors are telling them they expect forensic evidence in criminal cases, just like on their favorite television shows, including "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." In real life, forensic evidence is not collected at every crime scene, either because criminals clean up after themselves or because of a shortage in resources.
Kate Fisher, a spokeswoman for CBS, which airs "CSI," said producers of the show would not comment on its effect on jurors and in courtrooms "because they are not lawyers or judges.
Lee Goff of Chaminade University's forensic science program, says "CSI" and shows like it have spurred students' interest in the field.

 The Pocket Part
The "CSI effect" is a term coined by prosecutors and the mass media to describe the influence that television crime dramas like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have on jurors.
While some existing evidence, like the Maricopa study, is consistent with the CSI effect argument, it is equally plausible to argue that watching CSI has, in fact, the opposite effect on jurors--increasing their tendency to convict defendants.
The CSI effect is probably most important as an example of the way that a broad consensus about the existence of a legally relevant “fact” can emerge out of unsystematic and untested anecdotal observations, in this case by prosecutors and other court observers seeking to explain acquittals that they find puzzling.

 Newhouse A1
It's being called the CSI effect, after the highly rated television show "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." Armed with knowledge gathered from the burgeoning number of high-tech television programs, jurors are becoming self-appointed forensic experts.
Shows such as "CSI," its two spinoffs, plus the "Law and Order" franchise and others like "Cold Case" focus on splashy police investigations where crime scenes can be mapped using lasers, virtual autopsies can be performed, and hair, fingerprint and DNA evidence are not only always attainable, but also always definitive.
There is even concern in the legal community that the CSI effect may make jurors more prone to return verdicts that aren't based on details presented in court, but on what television has taught them about casework and justice.
