Justifiable homicide

Warning: Spoilers
All dog-fighters deserve such a fate. Merciless, cruel people who kill animals for so-called fun and money. Yes, tie them down and let the dogs get proper revenge. No sympathy for her whatsoever. Proper Karma.

Inside the Dog Fighting Game
Hitchcoc20 February 2021
This is a continuation of the Warrick saga as he tries to remove himself from his rage. The police are looking the other way as the casino boss flexes his muscle. Warrick continues to try to figure out a way to get the guy responsible for the death of Candy. The second plot is about the dog fighting business where the person driving it is a big surprise. I imagine this was in the wake of the Michael Vick discovery.

The World of Dog Fighting
claudio_carvalho23 March 2023
Det. Sam Vega, Nick and Greg investigate the body of a woman in red dumped in a site where there are several dead dogs. The woman has several bite marks and other marks that indicate that she was also tied up and beaten. In the autopsy, Catherine and David Phillips note an injection mark on her back, and Dr. Robbins recognizes the victim as Elizabeth Rodriguez. His band was playing at an event where her husband Felix Rodrigues and she were awarded with the prize Humanitarians of the Year. Using the canine saliva in the Canine CODIS, they find a pit bull named Hannibal owned by Gino Aquino that was confiscated from a drug raid and held for three months at Del Santos Kennel. Catherine and Nick interview the owner of the kennel, Steve Card, his employee, Tommy Halpert, and soon they are forced to enter in the illegal world of dog fighting. Meanwhile, Warrick is interrogated by Internal affairs about the death of the dancer Candy, found murdered in his car and he tells to the detective that Lou Gedda did.

"Lying Down with Dogs" is another great episode of "CSI", with a well-resolved crime of a socialite by the team. The investigation of the murder is impressive, with the sad reality of the world of the dog fighting unknown for most of the viewers (including me). Warrick's situation, framed by a powerful mobster with the support of a mysterious member of the laboratory, is intriguing and a cliffhanger. My vote is eight.

Very Emotional Episode About One Of The Two Things 'Juries Don't Like'
ccthemovieman-124 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very powerful episode, guaranteed to raise most people's emotions. That's because, although the episode begins and ends with Warrick, the bulk of the show deals with another crime dealing with a tough topic: dog fighting.

As one of the cops says in here to a bad guy, "There are two things juries don't like: people who abuse kids and people who abuse animals."

In a nutshell, the ironic twist is that a woman who has just been named "Humanitarian of the Year" for her work with animals, turns out to be a promoter of dog fights herself and is one of the biggest abusers of the mutts. (Warning: some of the scenes in here - although faked - are not easy to watch.) This woman winds up murdered with her body found next to a road, along with many carcases of dogs. How all of this unravels is interesting and intense.

Meanwhile, the show opens with Warricks's stripper friend "Candy" found dead in the CSI's vehicle outside the strip club. This is a continuation from last week's episode in which Brown was investigating a local mobster, "Lou Gedda" and was using the stripper to get information leading to an arrest of Gedda. The problem was Brown got a little too close to his "informant," spending a night with her, which doesn't make his case look good when the girl is found dead. CSI goes to work to prove Warrick was framed, which is his contention. However, he's also told the stay out of the case, but he keeps butting in. Finally, at the last scene, Gil has to suspend him for two weeks. It's either that or be fired. We also see a mole inside CSI informing Gedda of what just happened.

Part Three of Warrick's case doesn't happen, however, until the final episode of the season. They kind of put it on hold until then as CSI covers other cases.

Overall, this week's episode was one of the best of the season, thanks to a good job of handling a controversial subject. "Nick Stokes" (George Eads) is particularly good in this one. Then again, he usually is very good - definitely the steadiest and most reliable of all the CSI workers over the years.
