The Good, the Bad, and the Dominatrix - S7-E23
Corrected entry: Sara claims that all the prints at the saloon belong to Lady Heather. Lady Heather was wearing lace gloves. She wouldn't have left fingerprints, and it's unlikely that she came out of costume.

Living Doll - S7-E24
Corrected entry: Brass and Grissom go to see Trevor Dell, one of the Dell foster children. Foster children do not take the last name of the Foster Family unless they are adopted, and they never adopted any of the 13 Foster Children.
Correction: It's entirely possible that they shared the same last name without being related. Dell isn't that unusual.

The Good, the Bad, and the Dominatrix - S7-E23
Corrected entry: Brass is interviewing Benjamin Oakley, but he calls him Vinny when he says "your dad's not going to like that, Vinny."
Correction: He says Benny, not Vinny.

Corrected entry: While discussing with Catherine the dead Furry in the road, Grissom uses the phrase "which begs the question ..." Begging the question has a very specific meaning in logical argument: to unjustly assume the truth of that which is being proved in the argument. It does NOT mean "causes the question to be posed." Someone as exacting and well-educated as Grissom would know this and would not misuse the phrase thus.
Correction: As all language specialists will tell you, oral language evolves much faster than dictionaries do. It can sometimes be years before a new acception (or meaning) of a word or a phrase is added in language resources, even though it is widely used and understood by native speakers. The same goes for acceptions which go into disuse: they'll still be listed long after no one uses them. Nowadays, the first and most common meaning of "which begs the question" is the one for which Grissom uses it. It is not a mistake, only proof that Grissom is a man of his time.

Corrected entry: When Grissom puts Warrick in charge of the shift he asks why he didn't ask Nick since "he's more senior than me". However both Nick and Warrick were promoted to CSI-3 in the first season.
Correction: This probably implies that despite the fact that they were both promoted, Nick was hired first.

Correction: By definition, lace gloves do not offer full coverage of the hand and fingers. Heather would have left easily-identifiable partial prints all over.
