Why read it?

1 author picked Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Chris Fabricant has written a compelling account of how the ā€œjunk scienceā€ of connecting bitemarks to human teeth has resulted in dozens of wrongful convictions of innocent people in America. I have known Chris for many years. He is a fierce advocate for truth and justice.

From Maurice's list on true stories with meaning and power.
