    Exactly!

    The belief that forensics is reliable is unfounded. I don’t know the stat but last I remember reading it, it’s pretty low that they can prove anyone did anything. More murderers haven’t been caught than have.

      this is a shit way to describe things. more criminals of all types haven’t been caught. saying therefore there’s no rational foundation for forensics is ridiculous.

      Look I’m all for calling out bad experts and pseudoscience all day. Lie Detectors? fuck 'em.

      But you’re not going to convince me forensic pathology - like finding someone’s DNA under a victim’s finger nails - is bunk.

      And you’re casting a wide fuckin’ net there.

          lol, you saying forensics is unreliable. you’re underthinking, or simply ignorant.

          overthink it, that’s a problem where you come from huh? you don’t refute shit, you just say something pithy and consider that equivalent. what a mental failure.
