Positive effects of the CSI effect While CSI-viewers tend to have higher expectations for scientific evidence in trials, they also show patterns of superior legal knowledge compared to their non-CSI-watching counterparts.
DNA evidence has revolutionized forensic science in the past few years, cracking open cold cases and bringing both convictions and exonerations. By reading the sequence of amino acids from fragments of protein, scientists can work backwards to infer the sequence of DNA that produced the protein.
The forensic entomologist can provide invaluable aid in death cases where human remains are colonized by insects and in the overall investigation. His principal role is to identify the arthropods associated with such cases and to analyze entomological data for interpreting insect evidence.
How could the CSI effect help defenders? Prosecutors say that shows help the defenders because jurors who regularly view these shows expect testable evidence to be present at all crime scenes. So far there's been a guy climbing the Empire State Building, falling from the 35th floor, and his brain popping out on to the pavement.
Then the male fashion designer who was found dead wearing a diamond-studded bra. And detectives visiting a "cuddles club". Whatever next? But hey, this is the crazy New York the world knows. However, Melina Kanakaredes, who plays Detective Stella Bonasera, simply puts the new-look show down to progress. Kanakaredes says, "It's not really an object of wanting to outdo the others in the [CSI] family, but he [Moonves] wanted to see the New York he lives in.
And he put his money where his mouth is, and he supported us and said, 'Here's a bunch of money'. So yes, we are getting into the higher end of story lines, of fashion, a wealthier New York, and yet we've just finished doing an episode in Washington Heights where they are more like working-class people. They are each other's support systems, and this has been displayed numerous times, such as in the aftermath of Mac's wife's death in season 1, and Stella's HIV scare in season 3.
She constantly worries about his physical and mental well-being. Stella acts as his right hand, the most senior member of his team aside from himself. They are so close that, in preparation for a date with a woman he met in a coffee shop, Mac allows Stella to remove his tie at the end of episode 1. Considering how uptight Mac had been during the course of the first season, this can be seen as a very trusting, if not intimate, gesture.
Stella is also good friends with Flack. She is one of the first to be visibly worried about him after the death of Jessica Angell, and stays with Mac waiting for him to wake up in Charge of This Post.
In return, Flack is there for her after Frankie attacked her and is gentle and understanding when taking her statement. In general, Stella seems to have close relationships with all the characters on the show, which often leads to her taking the protective 'mother' role in events.
