A review by aoutrance
Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System by M. Chris Fabricant

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

Love that so many people in the justice system are resistant to understanding scientific progress and applying it to serving actual justice. The ending in which the author is hopeful that the Biden administration will better serve justice than Trump did is like a knife in the chest, given we are now less than a week into a second Trump presidency. Any movement toward progress the justice system may have made in the last 4 years is going to be totally erased.

Does not surprise me that most modern refusals to entertain junk science was applied to civil cases in which the wealthy were the plaintiffs. Each system we have in this country is built for them and will only be changed for their benefit.
