October 6th was the 20th anniversary of the first episode of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.”

To mark the occasion, I did an interview, for the ABA Journal website, with Donald Shelton, a retired Michigan judge of 24 years, who is a leading researcher on the “CSI effect.”

Shelton’s extensive research has concluded that it is a myth that jurors come to court, expecting to see scientific evidence on account of watching CSI, and then wrongfully acquit because of the lack of such evidence.

I hope you can check it out here.
