It’s all too common in criminal cases to encounter junk science masquerading as forensics. The consequences can be egregious: innocent people sent to prison while perpetrators remain free.
At this Latham & Watkins Forum, Washington Post writer Radley Balko and Mississippi law professor Tucker Carrington discussed their recently published book, The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South.
Balko and Carrington were joined by Bennett Capers, law professor at Brooklyn Law School, where they discussed concerns about junk science in the criminal justice system around the country. The panel was moderated by NYU School of Law professor Erin Murphy.
