このコンテンツについて
Ever wonder how a confident expert can sway a jury with evidence that later falls apart? We dive into the uneasy fault line between courtroom certainty and scientific reality, exploring why some techniques—like polygraphs, bite mark analysis, and even traditional fingerprint comparisons—have led to devastating mistakes.
DNA stands out as a powerful anchor when collected and interpreted with care. We talk CODIS, next-generation sequencing for degraded samples, and where genetic genealogy and phenotyping can help or mislead. Throughout, our focus stays on error rates, independent review, clear uncertainty statements, and a cultural shift from “trust the examiner” to “trust the validated method.” We end with practical resources—the Marshall Project and the Innocence Project—for listeners who want to explore how junk science has shaped real cases and what stronger standards could fix.
If this conversation challenges how you think about evidence and justice, share it with a friend, follow the show, and leave a quick review telling us the one forensic method you now question most.
