Good thing all his suspects love confessing so much because any decent lawyer would have his "cases" full of hearsay and circumstantial evidence thrown out in court. Not to mention his habits of falsifying evidence, trespassing and searching without a warrant.
You have very clearly not watched this television show
>>217477167Some of them don't confess, they just smirk at Columbo like "heh you got me" and Columbo takes them away, with zero actual evidence just some convoluted theory
They do, it's even alluded to in "Strange Bedfellows" when he warns the murderer not to get a fancy lawyer to save him, because the Mafia are waiting to whack him if he walks free. That was Columbo's only actual conviction. Hell of a detective, though.
>>217477186>you're obviously the murderer because you weren't wearing a flower at the concert but then some time later you were filmed wearing the flower >WELL GOSH GOLLY GEE I AM GOTCHA'D>no, I don't need to speak to a lawyer>just show me the way to my cell
Hey OP there's just one more I don't understand.You said you're not gay, but what's this picture of you sucking dicks?
>>217477167Nah, there is always a hard evidence like an unexplainable fingerprints, second bullet, another messy murder or police experiment gone wrong (dogs are trained for a kill or poisoned orange jam)There are few exceptions like in that ambassador case, as the murder had an immunity or spoiled wine bottle thingy.
>>217477297Original boomerslop.
>>217477313Columbo, you really are an odd fellow! That's not a picture, that's a framed mirror you're looking at.
>>217477297his wife basically ratted him out in this one. and she was hot af. showing those cheeks playing tennisalso>car mileage went up the exact distance to the victims house and back>the flower not on the tv broadcast>wife was sus about it>knew the victims number
>>217477333>Columbo, you really are an odd fellow! That's not a picture, that's a framed mirror you're looking at.The picture is on your phone. Are you so dumb that you took a photo of a mirror hoping it would work later.
>>217477380My shock.>1945Born in Manhattan, New York City, Falk was the son of Michael Peter Falk, owner of a clothing and dry goods store, and his wife, Madeline (née Hochhauser). Both his parents were Jewish
>>217477465Dude graduated high school the year WW2 ended.
>>217477167>trespassing and searching without a warrantTrespassing where? The crime scenes he's assigned to?
>>217477545The man just enters people's houses, workshops and gardens like he's playing an RPG or something.
what was the deal with Murder She Wrote. Just some nosy old bitch comes into a crime scene and starts asking questions and people tell her the whole story
>>217477167>jump to a random point in any episode>Columbo is talking to someone>mfw it's the murderer
>>217477701not everyone likes procedural dramas where the cops chase red herrings for 30 minutes, like literally every episode of law and order
>>217477740Law & Order: Criminal Intent is literally a remake of Columbo
>>217477766>Law & Order: Criminal Intent is literally a remake of ColumboMaybe if Columbo had autism and needed a partner to follow him around and contain his meltdowns
>>217477584You could do it too. America was a free country
>>217477815yeah that's basically the premise
>>217477701That's the point, we knew who was the murderer from the start, the mystery is in "how Columbo is going to catch them"
>>217477333If it's a framed mirror that just means you are currently sucking his dick dumbass. Because it's been agreed that the image is of OP sucking cock.
>>217477297The point of that one wasn't that the flower was enough evidence for court, its that it was enough evidence for his wife who knows him intimately to figure it out. After that they could detain him and focus the entirety of their investigation on proving the string of events that Columbo had mostly figured out at that point. The point of most episode endings isn't "We've got you now, off to jail" its "we now now know enough to detain and you and put together the rest of the stuff we need to win the trial"Back in the 70s writers trusted their viewers intelligence enough that they didn't bother explaining "no they don't just immediately stop doing any kind of policework after the credits start rolling" because they figured audiences wouldn't be retarded and would already know that
>>217477167Columbo never actually trespasses or searches without a warrant, he always has permission to be in the places he searches, and when the perp gets tired of Columbo's shit/realizes Columbo is on to them, they tell Columbo to leave and he does. He actually does get a warrant to do full proper searches by the end of the episode all the time. He also doesn't falsify evidence, because evidence are things meant to be brought to court, what he does is come up with lies to tell the perp to get them slip up and/or confess, and this is actually perfectly legal, it's why you should always just shut up and call a lawyer instead of confessing on the spot. The main issue with the way Columbo deals with his cases that could pose an actual problem in court is his tendency to just grab evidence, put in his pocket, then just show it to people. He rarely bags it or establishes chain of custody, it could be easy to get his evidence called into question and rendered inadmissable. But yes, Columbo is lucky they all confess on the spot. I fully agree that a lot of Columbo's solutions to cases wouldn't hold up in court, especially since the bad guys are always rich people who can afford good lawyers. One that comes to mind is how the fact that a guy's shoelaces are tied up in a way Columbo claims is unnusual for a left-handed person proves that he didn't put on his own gym clothes, so the perp must be the killer. The idea that maybe not everyone ties their shoes the same way isn't considered.
>>217477815>Maybe if Columbo had autism and needed a partner to follow him around and contain his meltdownsWhat if columbo had OCD>ITS A JUNGLE OUT THERE
There's a recurring aspect of Columbo in how every murderer is a first-time killer who doesn't really know what they're doing. They're all upper class twits who think they can smooth talk their way out of their own crimes because they don't know how criminal investigations actually work.
>>217477545in the wine episode with blofield he literally steals a bottle of wine worth more than he makes in a year and colludes with random waiters at a restaurant into tricking the suspect ino drinking it and complaining that it went bad

>>217477167
>>217477167columbo's bit is driving people to confess or out themselves through constant nagging. just arresting them is not enough, trials are for losers. he just wants to go home to his wife with a closed case every single time.
>>217477167The episode with Johnny Cash was the worst one out of the original run>Pedophile gets caught by his wife that he's a pedo>Kills his wife and the girl he's grooming >Shown still totally lusting after little girls>At the end of the episode Columbo says Cash would have done the right thing and confessed to which Cash agreesI swear this episode was going to be played more straightforward until Johnny Cash was cast as the villain, him being all about prison reforms and stuff. Otherwise I see no reason why this would be one of the few Killers who'd get a sort of "reform" ending
>>217479502I thought being a pedo was fine in the 70s anyway, its how half your fuckin grandparents met
>>217479578The 70s never existed it's actually just a timewarp zone for fetishists to indulge in their fantasies.All the music from the 70s? Made by those fetishists who traveled to the warpzone in 2026.its the westworld of the eras
