Wow, young Martin Sheen! The son, the one with the same surname, turns out to be very similar.

I have slightly controversial feelings about this series. On the one hand, the beautiful Vera Miles, referring us to Hitchcock's "Psycho" with the phrase "I couldn't kill a fly" in a conversation with Colombo.
On the other hand, ehh, an incredibly annoying mess with endless changes in the length and color of the main character's nails. Well, I understand that DNA analysis was not used in criminology in the 70s, but she left her blood at the crime scene when she grabbed the broken glass with her bare fingers and thoughtfully then rubbed the fragments in her hand. The lab could at least confirm that it was a woman's blood, and the blood type matched that of the killer. Then, Columbo, who came to the crime scene and groped everything there. I understand that it is in his nature to be absent-minded and touch foreign objects, but still he is a professional person and would not grab everything right in the "epicenter" of the murder, if only the script did not desperately need it. And what kind of criminologists are these who are not able to distinguish a broken glass from fragments of a slide?
About the second murder in general, in the end, they are silent, even no assumptions made by Columbo, completely crumpled.

As I understood it, the victim's blood was on the glass. And the criminologists said it was a glass, because the victim had a glass and it broke. And the microscope glass is small, so it was assumed that there was only a glass.
