On February 2, 1992, neighbors noticed smoke emanating from the Columbus, Mississippi

home of 84-year-old Georgia Kemp in called 911.

Firefighters found her body brutally stabbed death with a butcher knife.

During the autopsy, Dr. Stephen Hain observed vaginal injuries but a rape kit yielded no

seminal or blood evidence.

When the investigation struggled, a local man with a record, Eddie Lee Howard, was identified

as a potential suspect.

The body had already been thoroughly autopsy'd and buried without embalming fluid when Dr.

Hain had a sudden realization that bite marks may have been present, prompting the body

to be exhumed and set for examination by now infamous and discredited bite mark evidence

Charlotton Michael West.

In the meantime, molds were made of Eddie Lee Howard's dentures for comparison.

This notorious fraudster had developed a process that he called, quote, the West phenomenon,

which involves special glasses and ultraviolet lights that allowed him and only him to see

injuries that were totally invisible to the naked eye.

Injuries that he ruled were bite marks that he could then match to the dental molds

of the accused.

No photographic evidence of these alleged bite marks ever existed, yet his testimony was

enough to sense Eddie Lee Howard's death.

This innocent men and women are currently wrongly imprisoned based on this same junk science

while courts across our country continue to admit it as evidence to this very day.

This is wrongful conviction with Jason Flom.
