San Diego, CA -- Some reality show stars become celebrities but, so far, that hasn't happened to the cast of "Crime & Punishment."

The NBC reality series returns for its third season on Saturday (June 12) but, so far, the success hasn't paid off for San Diego-based Deputy District Attorney Blaine Bowman.

Part of the reason is by design. Bowman is just one of several attorneys in his office whose cases are featured on the show. As a result, "No one lets it get to his or her head."

There have been some surprises. Bowman says the reality show fame has led old friends to contact him so he's been able to rekindle old friendships.

Bowman's most recent case, regarding murder charges stemming from a street racing incident, is the focus of Saturday's episode.
