CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
While giving testimony at the retrial of Jason Garbett, who was convicted of murdering Max Larson, Grissom notices a bloody fingerprint on a key piece of evidence--a matchbook--which he doesn't recall from the initial investigation. He asks the prosecutor to call for a recess so that he can consult his notes, and discovers that the defendant's fingerprints are loop patterns, while the ones on the matchbook are arches. They don't match. The prosecutor isn't happy--Grissom has given them reasonable doubt.
Conrad Ecklie wastes no time taking Grissom to task for missing he print. Grissom can't account for it, but he's determined to get to the bottom of it. When the two walk past the lab, a Mac-10 Bobby Dawson is testing accidentally discharges. The gun, a piece of evidence in a case Sara and Greg are working on, clearly malfunctioned.
Catherine recalls the Garbett case: Max Larson owned a hardware store next to Jason Garbett's restaurant. They had disputes over the alley between their stores; Garbett sued to force Lawson to remove a dumpster he put by Garbett's restaurant, but he lost the suit. Days later, Lawson was killed and afterwards someone started a fire in the store. The store wasn't totally destroyed, though, and all the physical evidence pointed to Garbett. Grissom decides to let Catherine handle the reexamination of the case.
