Law in Focus Webinar Considers Role of Faulty Forensic Evidence in Wrongful Convictions, July 13
July 8, 2021
The University of Baltimore School of Law's next Law in Focus webinar, on July 13, will consider how "bad" forensic evidence has become a staple of prosecution cases against criminal defendants. Brandon L. Garrett, the L. Neil Williams Professor of Law at Duke University School of Law and author of the new book Autopsy of a Crime Lab, poses questions that should be asked in courtrooms every day: Where are the studies that validate the basic premises of widely accepted techniques such as fingerprinting? How can experts testify with 100 percent certainty about a fingerprint, when there is no such thing as a 100 percent match? Where is the quality control in the laboratories and at the crime scenes? Garrett, who directs the Wilson Center for Science and Justice at Duke, will be joined by Erica J. Suter, director of the Innocence Project Clinic at Ubalt for this free webinar.
