Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan - S6-E1
Corrected entry: Monk is confronted with a case where Marci's dog, which died 3 days earlier, is suspected of mauling her neighbor. Marci therefore is suspected of killing her dog after the fact to save herself from prosecution. Any veterinarian could easily determine whether a dog died today or 3 days earlier by its stage of decomposition.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Randy hits Ringel with the timber, it was originally the same length as all the others. Then at the moment Randy strikes, he hits the timber with a flat palm. In real life, it would just return into its stack without touching Ringel at all.
Correction: No, just as in the game he played with the kid he was looking for one piece of timber that was loose enough to slide through the stack and hit Ringel just as it did.
Correction: While true, Marci hadn't been arrested or charged at that point. The police were still investigating the case as seen by the Captain with the file at dinner. It was only a theory at that point that she had her dog euthanised after the death.

Of course but my point is that it did not need Monk to prove her innocence as portrayed and it is highly unlikely that Monk would - according to his disliking of Marci and his genius - would not have pointed to that simple solution.
