Pat McCrory is not a fan of TV crime procedurals.

At a debate in Atlantic Beach today, the Republican gubernatorial nominee said that his wife is "hooked" on reruns of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Law & Order."

"I have a very tough time watching those two shows because on 'CSI,' they have a crime lab which within minutes — or at the most even hours — they get the results back of DNA tests," he said. "In North Carolina, they're waiting month after month after month after month while cases are held up and our county prisons continue to be full."

He said that "Law & Order" prosecutors dress "as though they can afford to shop at Neiman Marcus," courts have no backlog and judges have new laptops and , while real-life attorneys have a hard time paying their bills and victims wait in packed hallways.

"In North Carolina, we have judges and DAs who are working out of cardboard boxes, as though it's the 1920s and 1930s," he said. 

He also claimed that plea bargains are becoming "non-existent" in North Carolina because defense attorneys are advising clients to plead not guilty because of a long wait for trials and a lack of jail space.
