      • The title of this episode, Corpus Delicti, is a legal term meaning 'the body of the crime', and refers to the general rule that makes it difficult, and possibly unlawful, to convict a person when the crime itself is difficult to establish. Many people mistakenly believe that it refers to the body of the victim.
