RJA #8a: Summary

This article covered both sides of my argument and even added in a new piece of information that I can use. The "CSI Effect" is just a more specific term for the "tech effect" that makes people expect better evidence because of technological advances. Some say that the effect can not be proven to exist or not exist because they haven't been able to find a connection between the tv shows and convictions. There have been controlled studies but they have not revealed the existence of the effect or not. This article has multiple links to other articles as well that are related to my argument and some of them even have the studies conducted on juries after trials and mentions the ones during jury selection evaluations.
