"The First 48" homicide detective show - Who's a fan?

[surprise_i'm_armed]

One of the detectives that stands out to me is the Miami PD guy who
is white, has slicked back hair, and tends to wear black suits. He seems
to be a Noo-Yawker who moved south. He's an intense bulldog when he
is on a case.

One of the Miami detectives lost a girlfriend since she could not deal with
his long, erratic hours. He's the one whose mother works in a different
south Florida PD.

Sometimes during the interrogation scenes, I think the Hispanic/black perps
are somewhat thrown when interviewed by detectives from their own ethnic
groups. The detectives know their cultural background and seem to be good
at getting confessions.

One of the Hispanic detectives, I believe in Dallas, puts his hands on the shoulders
of the perps and moves in close. "Confide in me - tell me how this happened" is his
style. He interviews them in Spanish and the show provides subtitles in English. Gracias.

Some of the classics on the detectives' part while interrogating perps:
I know you're not a stone cold killer bad guy - but tell me how this happened.
It's good to get it out. Help us understand YOUR side of the story.

The perps who have not actually pulled the trigger during the murder seem quite
crestfallen when they too are arrested for murder, due to the legal philosophy that
if anyone is killed during the crime, all the conspirators will be arrested for murder.

I use to watch the show all the time but lately not so much. On top of everything else you can learn from the show it also teaches one to lawyer up quick!

Really enjoy the show, sadly it highlights so many lives and families ruined by senseless acts of violence.
