CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 12

D.B.:
What color is the horse? (nobody answers) Really? No, it's a famous story. A traffic accident near a ranch, right? Several cars and a horse are involved. The horse is severely injured and the officer at the scene wants to put him out of his misery with his .357. Unfortunately, the bullet ricochets off the horse's skull and hits an officer standing nearby. Kills him dead as a doornail. And when this is all reported to the chief, the only question he asks, "What color's the horse?" There were seasoned investigators all over that scene for hours, taking notes, gathering evidence, but nobody noted the color of the horse.

Nick:
If you miss one small detail, then who knows what else you've missed. 'Cause you never know what's important.

D.B.:
Cool story, huh?

Hodges:
That is a good story.
