This article is about a experiment conducted to see if the effect exists with 217 mock jurors. It gives the results of this experiment and this is relevent because it supports what I believe about my research questions.

Lovgren, S. (2004, September 23). "'csi' effect" is mixed blessing for real crime labs.
National Geographic, Retrieved from http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/09/0923_040923_csi.html

This article focused on making it obvious that crime labs are being effected by this effect and have unrealistic expectations. They talk about expected results from them are to much and that its making labs be extra careful and try to come up with better procedures. This article is right out of a National Geographic magazine so it was edited to an extent.
