Preasure to get rulings gets bad convictions bad press and everything which goes with it.
But you can blame a lot of it on crime shows like CSI where everything has an answer.
Already Jurys are not convicting based on this TV show giving wrong impressions that evidence is everywhere and every crime lab has a million dollars in high tech equiptment.
Just like they show how easy an alarm can be circumvented or safe cracked or lock picked in the movies.
The public and DA's need to know whats on Tv is on Tv and no where else.
