CSI is investigating the case of Paige Rycoff, who has been missing for four days since she dropped out of college and was going home, but never arrived. The investigators started by analyzing where the victim has been seen last (her room), the unusual thing was that the victim had let her suite cases but she had taken her keys with her. From analyzing the room they knew she had a roommate and that some furniture have been moved from the dorm room. While Grisom examines the walls

When the blood sample were analyzed it was discovered that the blood and semen aren't Paige’s, but they belongs to her roommate Jennifer Rigg and that there was Rohypnol in the blood, from a scientific point of view this part is not scientifically accurate because DNA can be obtained from an old blood strain but not Rohypnol because the percent of Rohypnol found at this strain will almost 0.00001% that if any was found, also only DNA is resilient to environmental effects because of its nature but not Rohypnol which can get evaporated, oxidized or even change chemical formation. As always the investigators runs to conclusion that it’s a rape case and that who raped Jennifer might be connected to their case. When the investigators questioned Jennifer they knew that she remember nothing from the incident due to the side effect of Rohypnol, again this statement is not very accurate because the idea of losing complete memory of the incidence is not very common in real life even under the effect of this drug. But thank God she was able to narrow their search as it was a floor

    Additionally, in this trial, the implications of an elected versus appointed judge can be seen. Judge Horton did the right thing by overturning the conviction of Haywood Patterson, he did so at great risk. Horton, an elected judge, basically ended his career with this move. It is this situation that leads me to believe that judges should be appointed rather than elected. Not every judge, especially when put in a situation like this, would have the integrity to ignore the political ramifications of their decision.…

    At the beginning of the book, I felt bad for Jennifer Thompson. My mind was not prepared for what I was about to read. Before this book I thought I had a pretty good understanding of how the Criminal Justice system worked. I also never put much thought in the victim 's role in the matter or what part they played in the process of the trial. Most of all, I had a belief that if you were truly innocent there is no way that you could be convicted of a crime that you did not commit.…
