Jurisdiction


How did they decide who had jurisdiction, Quincy or Columbo (neither of which had a first name but both worked in LA at the same time)?

reply

Well seeing how Quincy was a Medical Examiner, he only had jurisdiction of the bodies that were delivered to him!

reply

No, he was always going to crime scenes, just like Columbo

reply

Coroners sometimes do go to crime scenes to prepare the body for transport.

reply

They wouldn't be in competition. If they were in same reality they would work together. They had different jobs.
