Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System

Everyone, liberal or conservative, should be outraged when the state exploits bogus science to put innocent people in jail. Here's my review of @Chris_Fabricant's excellent—and infuriating—book "Junk Science" about forensic hocus-pocus in the courtroom.

I highly recommend this book about about a WWII B-17 gunner who won the Medal of Honor for saving his aircraft. The guy turned out to be a bit of a scoundrel, which tied US Army PR folks in knots. Can a book be gripping AND nuanced? @PappalardoJoe pulls it off.
