"I've also heard of the term "CSI Syndrome"

I heard that report also.

The fact is circumstantial evidence is more compelling than direct evidence.

An accuseds finger print at the scene isn't necessarily proof of having commited the crime. There could be lots of logical reasons for a finger print somewhere. Same thing applies with other direct evidence. It is when circumstantial evidence is so compelling that those direct evidence things then come into play.

I like you think people are watching to many CSI programs.

The great majority of convictions (someone on CTV said 90%) are obtained by circumstantial evidence.

Of course Geragos needs the delays, he needs others to help him with the case. After all these months he still wasn't prepared, didn't even show up for the verdict. And he claimed he could also handle the Michael Jackson case -- no wonder Mike fired him.
