Summary

In this episode of True Crimecast, we take a deep dive into the world of forensic science. We explore the history and methods behind the most critical tools used to solve crimes, including fingerprints, DNA, and ballistics. The episode discusses how these forensic techniques have revolutionized criminal investigations, but also reveals the surprising flaws, controversies, and ethical debates that accompany each. From the "silent witness" of a fingerprint to the power of a DNA database, this episode uncovers the science behind justice—and the human fallibility that comes with it.
