Episode Summary

Josh Dalton, a hot, young reporter for the Miami Sun, witnesses the murder of his friend, a city councilman's aide, in Miami's drug district, the Golden Triangle. Josh, who was suspiciously unharmed in the attack, claims that they were only down there on a story, but Horatio believes that there's more to the situation. Later, another writer from the same paper is found shot to death inside the trunk of her car, which was reported stolen. Now, as the evidence rejects Josh's version of what happened, the CSIs find themselves entangled in the world of fast-paced journalism and learn that there is a dangerously fine line between the truth and what sells newspapers.moreless

This episode was a little boring, not as good as the previous one.

I really couldn't stand Horatio this time, I think he was really overdoing it with his posing (hands on hips) & "sunglases of justice" act he's got going on.

The case in this episode was pretty interesting, I liked how they knew who their man was but needed to find enough evidence to convict him. It was pretty obvious that the reporter was the one who murdered his collegue when he called her cell phone while H was there. That look on his face gave him away.

The first case wasx solved pretty quickly & I couldn't help laughing at the guy who did the shooting.moreless
