Well the season premiere is here. The episode opens with two cops on a stakeout. One of the cops takes a bathroom break, and while he is gone his partner is shot. Detective Eames and Goren pick the case up. It turns out that the cop killed was Eames’s husband’s partner and was there when he was shot in the line of duty. Goren and Eames are my favorite detective’s on ‘CI’. The detective’s start looking into a possibility that this murder is connected to Detective Dotton’s death. The next day the other witness in her husband’s death was shot too. The other cop in the stakeout said he saw who killed his partner, but Goren proved that he was wrong. They go and talk to the man convicted in her husbands murder. He proclaims his innocence, saying that the drug dealer that said he saw him was lying to protect somebody. Goren with his holmes’esque style of detective work seems to believe him. He reluctantly tells Eames that he has to look into her husbands case to try to find the truth. Using modern DNA techniques they find a piece of trace DNA that doesn’t match the man convicted or the witness. The witness had testified that the killer was smoking the cigarette that was found at the scene. The gun that killed the cop and the witness was found dumped near where the witness was shot. It turns out to be a standard issue gun for Vietnam soldiers. While interviewing the convicted man’s father they find out that he was a Vietnam veteran. After a little detecting Goren figures out that the killer is the wrongfully convicted man’s son. So all that is left now is to solve the husbands murder. The detectives start by shaking down the witnesses posse. On of his friends is now an ex-con so they lean on him with the threat of revoking his parole. He tells them that the witness had a kid following him around that was waving around a glock. They go to inform the family that they have caught the man that murdered their son. It was there that they found out that during the time of the old murder his cousin was visiting with them. The cousin is a emergency room doctor in Queens now, so they go to question him. With the right questioning he gives himself up. Hey check out my last post ‘Tear Asunder’.
