How to continue insuring convictions? Junk forensics

From Wheelgun blogspot

You know what is not backed by science?

Matching a bullet to a gun. 50% or less accuracy.

Fire science.

Finger prints. What? What? But no two people have the same finger prints! TV crime shows say so!

“Jurors have watched plenty of police procedures on TV and think that projectile matching is some kind of precise science when in fact going much beyond ‘Well, the octagonal polygonal rifling tells me this .45 caliber bullet was likely fired from a Glock,” is educated guesswork.’”
