Coming to Curiosity Podcast, what if I told you that much of the forensic science you see on shows like CSI isn't based on actual science. Shows like that depict forensic evidence as infallible, but it's not to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty. Is kind of a bogus phrase, and the wrongly convicted pay a horrific price. I realized, like, oh my god, this guy's in prison for the crime he did not commit. Two distentances in a life without parole. My youngest I was incarcerated two days after her first birthday. I went from being a husband and father to being incarcerated, incused of their murders. Some methods of forensic science used to build criminal cases aren't just imperfect, they're irresponsible. From bite marks and they thought at that time that bite marks were good science, and now we know that they're not. To footwear analysis, I have done casting of a shoeprint out of mud, and let me tell you it's not as detailed as it is in the TV shows. To Arson Investigations, you know that deposition I was going to give tomorrow and say, this is Arson, you can't do it. I'm Molly Herman. Join me as we put forensic science on trial to discover what happens when a match isn't a match and when there's no science in CSI. How many people have to be wrongly convicted before they realize then this stuff's all bogus, it's all made up. Listen to CSI on Trial, a Curiosity Audio Network podcast, every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, starting February twenty eighth
