How accurate are shows like CSI?

A clip from PBS/DPTV show Due Process. Host Henry Baskin and guest and world-renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Werner Spitz (Chief Medical Examiner for Wayne and Macomb counties, Professor of Pathology, Wayne State University) discuss the topic, as well as his participation as an expert witness on numerous high profile cases nationwide.
Dr. Werner Spitz was involved in such cases as the Mary Jo Kopechne/Ted Kennedy case, O.J. Simpson case, and the Warren Commission. To watch the complete video online, visit http://www.dueprocess.tv/show_archive.htm (Medical and DNA Evidence, Show # 1026)

@frantahouska Your English is horrible. Anyway, the legal system is messed up and morons like Spitz who LIE on the stand for money is a perfect example of what's wrong with it. Grow up and think for yourself. Learn to question things. It won't hurt you I promise.

@MrGrevy Your vision of educated world is somehow flawed. He is professional with 60 years or experience in the field. In our juridical system everyone has to go thru due process. That means we don't lynch people on the street anymore. Go back to school.

@frantahouska What is your point? Spitzer is an idiot.

@MrGrevy I have one word for you:"science"

I love how Idiot Spitzer's take on the CSI stuff conflicts with Andrea Lyon's assertions. These people are scum for defending Casey Anthony.
