I have a few questions in reference to the 5/8/13 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode titled "Ghosts of the Past".
One is about the autopsy on the original victim. I understand if this was meant to portray the medical examiner "pinning back" the skin to better examine the "S" incision but if this incision was bad enough to eviscerate the victim, that was not depicted. There appeared to be too many layers of muscle in this body. A normal autopsy is a Y incision beginning at the outer portions near the collarbones and then meeting to create an incision down the mid line of the body. This certainly was not depicted.
Then I question how blood spatter flew directly onto the front of the yellow tee shirt when she was struck in the head. Blood should fly out and away and I certainly cannot figure out the flight path of this blood spatter. It would have to fly out and curve around to strike the victim straight on in the front of her body. It reminds me of a remote controlled toy airplanes' flight path. Fortunately blood doesn't fly by remote control.
Then there were the luminol footwear impressions. Why didn't these impressions diminish as they created a path? If the blood was not replenished on the bottom of the shoes then the impressions would certainly not be as prevalent in the end as they were in the beginning. That's why the pattern is called a "diminishing repetitive transfer pattern".
Unfortunately the believability of these issues didn't have a ghost of a chance (pun intended).
