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 “junk science” of connecting bitemarks to human teeth has resulted in dozens of wrongful convictions of innocent people in America.
