Forensic science is in crisis and at a cross-roads. Movies and television dramas depict forensic heroes with high-tech tools and dazzling intellects who - inside an hour, notwithstanding commercials - piece together past-event puzzles from crime scenes and autopsies. Likewise, Sherlock Holmes - the iconic fictional detective, and the invention of forensic doctor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - is held up as a paragon of forensic and scientific inspiration - does not “reason forward” as most people do, but “reasons backwards.” Put more plainly, rather than learning the train of events and seeing whether the resultant clues match those events, Holmes determines what happened in the past by looking at the clues. Impressive and infallible as this technique appears to be-it must be recognized that infallibility lies only in works of fiction. Reasoning backward does not work in real life: reality is far less tidy.
In courtrooms everywhere, innocent people pay the price of life imitating art, of science following detective fiction. In particular, this book looks at the long and disastrous shadow cast by that icon of deductive reasoning, Sherlock Holmes.

When you look at the science everything from eye witness identification (about 30% inaccurate, unless the person being identified is of a different race, in which case its much worse) to bite mark evidence (about 0% accurate) there’s a serious problem with using most forms of forensic evidence (other than DNA) to convict anyone of anything. Might as well say he did it because he’s a Mercurial Pices and his horoscope wasn’t propitious that day.
The courts have addressed the minor problem that most forensic evidence is a lie by ignoring the fact that most forensic evidence is a lie, barring expert testimony to this effect, and otherwise burying its collective head in the sand. Can’t let the truth get in the way of convicting people (typically poor and/or black,) besides, “I’m sure they did something.” That’s in quotes because I’ve been told that by prosecuting attorneys when I’ve pointed all the foregoing out to them.
Thanks for the share. Hopefully people will come to recognize non-DNA based forensic evidence for what it so often is: a way for the prosecution to convict anyone they want to for those pesky crimes they lack any real evidence for.

@erouting Bravo. Love most of what you said there, except that I would be wary of blindly believing DNA evidence. While in principle it’s exceptionally accurate, in practice it’s employed by humans with agendas. Said humans have control over chain of custody, lab processing equipment and practices, DNA databases and registries, etc. The USA has a National Registry of Exonerations which lists 26 convictions overturned since 2018 which relied, at least in part, on DNA evidence, so thankfully even appeals courts can be convinced that a bit of DNA doesn’t make an open and shut case.

It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we have and most of the time it works.

Sherlock uses inductive reasoning not deductive reasoning

Yup. Yup. Yup.
It is unsettling how much of forensics is nothing more than pseudoscience and how unethical state forensic labs are.

Looks very interesting, sadly I won’t be able to watch the original Dexter blood splatter the same way again!
