David Bishop is the overbearing, abusive father of child genius Robbie Bishop, as well as a double murderer. David pushed Robbie to be success in his school, which lead to Robbie's depression and eventual wishes to die. David was particularly obsessed with making Robbie work to solve the Riemann hypothesis, a notorious unsolved math problem with a cash prize in millions.
When Robbie was taken by Child Services for his own safety, Goren and Eames got him to confess to the murders of Kim Stevens, a social worker trying to save Robbie from David, and Deputy Mayor Bill Webster, who was witness to Stevens' attack.
Bishop was charged and found guilty of two counts of murder in the second degree and was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison (20 years for each count). (CI: "Bright Boy")
