Looking at a Revolution? Getting Forensics Out of Law Enforcement

Image result for real science

Many reform ideas in this series of Q&A to forensic and legal experts by the WaPo’s Radley Balko. All are logical and very practical. Prosecutors must be gagging. Here is a quote:

Chris Fabricant, the Innocence Project

Easiest reform:

Eliminate bite mark evidence.

Mid-level reform:

State forensic science commissions, staffed by career scientists, that produce rigorous basic and applied research, and, based on that research, issue mandatory guidelines for the introduction of and the testimonial limitations of all forensic evidence.

If I were dictator:

The same, only at the national level.

How do we improve forensics?
