Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news.

There's a lot to talk about today, though I will say it. It's actually a little bit lighter

than it has been for about two and a half a week. But that said, you buckle up, you hit that

like button and let's let you know you like these big daily dives into the news, and let's just So a man was sent to prison for life for the murder of his wife based on one single piece of evidence.

But it appeared to be a bite mark on her arm. But now, it turns out all of that is based on junk science.

And even though the entire scientific process behind the only piece of evidence against this guy has been debunked, he's still in jail.

Notably, this is just one piece of an ongoing crisis in the criminal justice system of people

getting convicted on disproven forensics. You know, we're talking about methods that are presented

as scientific fact, but they lack sufficient research or evidence to support them and they're

often highly subjective. Things like bite marks as well as blood spatter and 911 call

In 1985, his wife Julie was found murdered in her home by blows to the head and stab wounds on her chest while their three-year-old son Chad was left unharmed in his crib.

Notably, at the time Charles and Julie had been separated, right? She had found out that he'd been having an affair, and so he moved out. But, according to reports,

the two were still on good terms, and they saw each other often, including at Julie's house the night

before her murder. We saw very quickly in this, police making Charles their only suspect,

with him getting tried and convicted not long after. But for the nearly four decades since, Charles has insisted that he is innocent. A claim that's

also been echoed by a growing number of others, including the Innocence Project and McCrory's now

grown son, Chad. And that's largely because there's basically no physical evidence connecting Charles
