Forensics Under Fire
Are Bad Science and Dueling Experts Corrupting Criminal Justice?
Murder, kidnapping, the evidence of crimes committed--it's front-page news and the subject of countless popular films and television shows. But as these portrayals reveal, the path from crime to conviction is never straight and smooth, and much controversy and skepticism swirls around claims of evidence and innocence. In Searching for Clues: Problems in Forensic Science, Jim Fisher takes us on a journey through cases in which the details of true crime remain obscure. While convictions may have been handed down, or the guilty set free, the facts of many case are fraught with errors, corruption, misinterpretation, and false conclusions.
