This post was something I found on the Google CSI discussion group and the individual claimed to have 'inside sources' so here is the message as posted on Google/Usenet.

Sources say network executives are upset with petterson's late demands for more pay and more control over the writing. He is rumored to be demanding they allow him to exit his contract without penalty. It seems the network is more interested in spending $100 to save $1.
All this was based on WP's rage at the love plot with he and sarah. He was very upset, he said it was an old crutch that shows use and it so predictable. His complaints are that the show was suppose to 'break the mold' not 'grow mold.' He is expected to finish '07 but he has demanded to not be written out in the typical manner. Being killed off, retiring from the lab, those scenarios do not interest him. He has indicated he wants to end the show where they begin to investigate a serial murderer for 3-4 episodes with the ending being that HE is the serial killer. With a few well chosen final 10 minutes where he explains that the best way
to improve csi's was to make them jump hoops and rack their brains. Nothing was settled but the serial killer exist plan was the one the disliked the most which may be why he is holding onto the idea. If I tell you the source it would take someone at the network about 60 seconds to figure out who it is and fire them perhaps sue them into bankrupcy.
Take the information or not. Your choice.

Most of us here who really pay attention to the show and the news items surrounding it, have never heard anything like this kind of talk/behavior coming from Mr. Petersen even when he's admitted to having disagreement with the producers. Anyone here have any source that can make any sense of such nonsense?
I apologize for posting from other sources and for possibly posting in the wrong area.
