Just keep in mind most forensic science is junk science. Polygraphs, hair analysis, bite mark analysis, blood spatter analysis, handwriting analysis, hair analysis are all pretty shitty. Hell, even DNA evidence isn’t 100% reliable.

The problem is that:
1) law enforcement has a vested interest in blaming the crime on someone, even if they didn’t get the right guy.

2) many judges and law enforcement folks don’t have enough technical know how to be able to understand the nuances of what a test can and cannot “prove.”
