One of the things that scares me about the US criminal justice system is that it relies almost entirely on magical thinking and torture to secure convictions. I don't believe anyone is guilty unless they were literally photographed holding the bloody knife while standing over the body and even then I'll need some convincing to rule out potential mitigating circumstances.
Bit cheeky to ask but does anyone have any info on how unreliable forensics is? Like an article or something? Its something on my radar I have not really had a chance to properly look at.
Theres's a :the-podcast: about it Link to ep/transcript, sorry no non-pod sources at the top of my head but they do mention some things in there you can follow up on.
Ah cheers! I will give that a look.
