Following the season 3 premiere of CSI: Vegas on CBS tonight, is there a chance that Matt Lauria could be leaving the show?

Well, we know that there were plenty of reasons why people were worried about the character’s future coming into the premiere, with them being mostly tied into what we saw with the situation with the death of Kahn Schefter at the end of last season. If he truly is a murderer, isn’t it pretty darn to imagine him being a permanent part of the team?

Then again, we’ve seen time and time again over the years the classic crime-TV trope of seeing characters arrested for various crimes that they did not commit. What makes this particular situation different and a little more tenuous is rather simple: The fact that Kahn is responsible for killing Folsom’s mother. We don’t think anyone can question the obvious motive that is present here.

What we can at least say for now is quite simple: There is no evidence that Lauria is leaving the show, and it certainly has not been reported anywhere as of this writing. Personally, we think it’s more exciting if he is not responsible for Kahn’s death and there is something more that can be unraveled here over time.

So, what actually happened here?

Well, let’s just say that while Josh’s job may still be in jeopardy, he was not the murder. This was a dark episode and a real struggle for the team to figure out more of what really happened here. He still has to figure out what his exact future is. It is one thing to understand some of his pain and yet, that does not excuse a lot of his actions.

All things considered, this could be a long arc this season — we don’t buy fully that confession on the end here, either. We don’t think Raphael is out of the woods, even if he wants to think so.
