Who+Shot+Sherlock+CEW

Today in CSI class, we watched the episode ' Who Shot Sherlock?'. In this episode, there were to cases to be solved. The first involved a man who was found dead in his apartment, dressed as Sherlock Holmes. The man had been killed by a gunshot to the head which appeared to be done by suicide. As the investigation continued at his house, two men and a woman showed up dressed in similar Sherlock-type outfits. They were to meet their friend "Sherlock" for a club meeting. They met every Thursday night to discuss Sherlock Holmes books and such. These three people were pursued and investigated to find out whether or not they were responsible for killing Sherlock. The second case came from a young guy who was found dead in his jeep that had driven off the road. There were no skid marks or signs of struggling. The guy's autopsy was found inconclusive. He had very few physical wounds. In the end, it was found that the female who was with the two men at Sherlock's home was indeed his murderer. She set his body to look as if he had committed suicide but had tried to fram one of the other guy's from the Sherlock book club as the murderer. In the end, the investigators found that the young man in the Jeep had been electicuted by a down power line and the fuses in his jeep had blown. That's why the Jeep never braked. The man was electicuted through his watch and the zipper on his shorts.

In the episode there were very few uses of guns or the study of ballistics. From the beginning, the investigators had assumed that he had commited suicide and the evidence had been tampered with. Towards the very end of the episode, one of the investigators discovered a gun that had been tied to an elastic type rope from inside the chimney. They concluded that once he was shot, he let go of the gun and it was hidden. Later, the investigators found that he had been injected with morphine previous to the shooting. They then discovered throught the blood splatter and the way the gun was hidden that he had been murdered and framed to look suicidal.
