Who Dunnit to Me?: Difference between revisions

* An early [[CSI: Miami]] was about a woman who was poisoned with radioactive materials by a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] ([[Red Herring|or rather]] {{spoiler|a low level employee who she seduced to get information}}) because she happened to be the lawyer working the joint lawsuit against their illegal dumping practices.

* Used in ''[[CSI (TV)|CSI]]'', when an attorney who'd been working with Sarah informs her that she won't be able to finish the case because the bullet lodged in her cranium from a previous crime has shifted inside the skull and will soon kill her. Subverted when, against all expectation, she survives the surgery to remove the bullet, {{spoiler|which subsequently proves that she'd been shot while in the process of murdering her husband.}}

** The latter apparently [[Ripped from the Headlines]] in [[Law and Order Criminal Intent]]. Litvenenko is actually mentioned by name.

** A similar, earlier case in which a fight between two Northern European naval personnel ended with one pinning the other with a piece of equipment that discharged a radioactive field, and firing. It was reported that prosecutors were faced with the difficulty of how to press charges, because a fatal dose was delivered, but murder charges could not be pressed because it would take years for the victim to die.

=== Live-Action TV ===

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', in the pilot

* Count Sessine from ''Feersum Endjinn'' by [[Iain M Banks|Iain M. Banks]].

* The cybrid Johnny from ''[[Hyperion]]''.
