CSI: Miami Episode 9.12 Wheels Up

At trendy Roller Derby stadium, mid competition between the Miami Masochists and Loca Boca Ratons, superstar Connie Briggs is murdered in the locker room after a brawl on the rink. Connie went into the locker room with severe stomach pains after the brawl, and was discovered dead shortly thereafter. Loman examines her body and uncovers many old wounds healed over, indicating physical abuse. He later concludes that a shard of her rib that had been hanging on to her rib cage for sometime broke off from blunt force to her back and cut into a major blood vessel, causing her to bleed out. Vince Kessler, a groupie for the opposing team, is questioned and is a match for a mouth guard that Connie was wearing (molded from his mouth) filled with ipecac, a medicine used to induce vomiting. After meeting with Lucy Strickland, emergency contact, roommate and best friend of Connie's, she tells them about a fight that our victim had with another skater, Tara Werner. We find Tara at a local rehab center and discover that she's paralyzed from an injury inflicted by Connie; an accident during a competition. Vince Kessler shows up; he is her brother, and he wanted to get Connie back for what she did to his sister, so he put the ipecac in the mouth guard, but he did not kill her. Back to roommate Lucy who reveals that Connie used to date Jake McGrath, and he was abusing her but she feared he would hurt her too if she told. Horatio, Delko and Srg. Tripp arrest him and inspect his apartment for evidence. They find a heavy bag with identical indents from shoulder pads like that on Connie's back. Jake tells them Connie and Lucy used to use heavy bag, not him. Turns out Lucy was jealous that Connie got into the Derby and she wasn't good enough to make the team, and that Connie wasn't around anymore to be with her like they used to. They discover upon inspection of her stuff that there is steel in Lucy's elbow pads where plastic should be, as well as Connie's blood. Lucy was in the locker room when Connie came off the rink. She smashed her elbow pad down on to Connie's back while she was heaving and killed her.
