Then, when she tells them that Kyle climbed up the wall and entered the window (and here I thought that LBCC was Long Beach City College), the detective goes right over there and puts his hands right where any fingerprints might have been.

That made me question whether the show has a sustainable budget if they couldn't afford to reshoot it with gloves.

It's also a good thing that both defendants blurted out their confessions almost right away removed the need for the tainted evidence.

I kept thinking that if this were The Closer, Brenda would have had the two suspects pass each other in the hall, then told each of them whoever squealed on the other first would get a deal.  Or put the two together in a room and waited for them to start fighting, incriminating themselves and each other (all on video, of course).

Both shows have a main character who could lean into this kind of subtle comedy, but the writers aren't doing it here. 
I hope they go there soon.
