HAMILTON, Ohio - A Butler County judge doesn't want jurors confusing television justice with their roles in her courtroom.

Common Pleas Judge Patricia Oney in this southwest Ohio city tells sitting jurors not to watch shows ranging from the "CSI" crime investigation shows, to the "Law & Order" shows to "Boston Legal."

Such shows can create unrealistic expectations for jurors such as about what can and cannot be done with evidence, said Oney.

While judges often instruct jurors to avoid media coverage of the case they're considering, she adds fictional coverage to hers.  She also includes such criminal justice coverage as the "Nancy Grace" interview program on CNN Headline News.

"So many shows now are pulled in part from cases all over the country," Oney said. "I don't want jurors watching them while they are in deliberation."

Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper said seminars in dealing with the "CSI Effect" are common in training conferences for attorneys.

Defense attorney Melynda Cook-Reich said she agrees with Oney's no-viewing list while jurors are in the middle of deciding a case.

"But I think otherwise those shows can be a benefit to make people aware of what kind of testing can be done," Cook-Reich said.
