The present study examined the influence of CSI type programs on general perceptions of forensic evidence and the effects of DNA expert testimony on legal decisions between Korean prosecutors and lay persons. The results indicated that lay persons who watch CSI type programs were more likely to perceive that most forensic science evidence as reliable when compared to prosecutors, but watching CSI type programs had no significant influence on guilty verdict. Presentation of DNA evidence by the prosecution increased the probability of producing guilty verdict but cross-examination and an opposing expert testimony by defense decreased the probability of producing guilty verdict. Implications for use of forensic science evidence in trials are discussed.
