Along Came a Spider

Factual error: During Soneji's trial in part four, the prosecuting attorney objects when the defense asks Cross a leading question. Since Cross was called by the defense as a hostile witness, it is legally permitted to ask him leading questions.

CSI: NY (2004)

To What End? - S7-E11

Factual error: During their investigation, the CSIs learn that their murder suspect is in the witness protection program, under FBI protection. WITSEC falls under the jurisdiction of the United States Marshals Service, not the FBI. And considering how many protected witnesses the Marshals Service relocates each year, it's doubtful they would be shorthanded enough to need help from another agency to locate a missing witness.
