Sherlock Holmes didn’t inspire forensic science, he was based on the more impressive Dr Joseph Bell who was a pioneer of the field of forensics (forensic pathology particularly) at a time when science was not widely used at crime scenes. He would demonstrate the need for close attention at crime scenes by picking random strangers and deducing their occupation and recent activities.
And with all this tech and science and modern advances, you have to wonder why the murder clearance rate in the US is at an all-time low, with clearance rates at 50% as of 2022.

Nothing but softballs in this one. Given how many forensic techniques there are with little data to back them up, would have liked to see something a little more substantive. By his telling, all these advancements in forensics are amazing, yet the police are solving a lower percentage of cases even with vastly fewer murders compared to more primitive times (say 30 years ago).

One more question, how do investigators decide to just go back to an old unsolved case and restart the investigation on it? Do they have free time on a random day and just say “Oh, let’s try out this new tech on this one cold murder case back in 1963”

i’m assuming because they find some sort of new evidence that relates to the case. If it opens up a new lead then it may be worth reopening.

PBS Frontline and the FBI at this point don’t agree with you on fingerprints. The FBI was ready to convict a man of a terrorist bombing because they matched his fingerprints to somebody else. How do you not know this? Beyond that all the fingerprint experts said at the end of the day it is just a guess on the part of the person doing the analyzing. This is an art not a science again how does a forensic analyst not know this?

The claim the each person’s fingerprint is unique is simply false. Or at least so misleading as to be tantamount to false. Look up the Brandon Mayfield case. Or, if you doubt the sources read the justice department’s own review of the incident: (link removed bc false spam positive)
So even in the highest profile cases with the most experienced experts it turns out sometimes fingerprints do match someone else. Saying that if you looked closely enough there would be a difference is deeply misleading (like saving claim no two snowflakes are identical by noting they all have different numbers of atoms) and testimony like that is how we got travesties like the FBI hair analysis scandal.
As this is the second supposed fact in this video that’s relatively misleading. See the Wikipedia page about chalk outlines and cited data (short version: almost always just drawn for journalists or occasionally in non-murders but never a real accepted technique).
Ok this is just a fun YouTube video that needs snappy answers but I hope in court he is more nuanced.
mijubo
December 8, 2022 at 12:12 pm
This needs more upvotes as even a lot of forensic experts turn a blind eye to it. In fact most claims on fingerprints are blatantly wrong. This does not mean it’s a good source of evidence but the science behind it is more than flaky.

On the unique fingerprint. It does happen that people are close enough to get false positives. In the Spain bombing case, there was a positive fingerprint match on someone in the states who had never been to Spain. If I recall correctly, it was determined they weren’t exactly identical, but they were so close that the automated detection had picked them up

Yeah, a lot is made of the “exoneration” of the supposedly wrongfully convicted, while no one seems to care much about finding the actual perpetrators, much less re-examining cases of acquittals in cases of guilt, such as those in which the false exonerations are based on witnesses who knew they would be victims were they to come forward refusing to cooperate, which actually means that the perpetrators of the initial crimes might be more of a danger to the public than those that one is comfortable testifying against and having convicted.

With the OJ crime scene…the techs screwed up on gathering things. The police video taped them collecting it and they didn’t follow the proper methods. The defense called them on it, and the DA couldn’t do anything about it without “questioning” past cases, and taking the risk of reopening them. For example, one of the OJ’s experts was the “DNA expert” that taught LAPD crime lab what to do, and he said it wasn’t done right. It should have been up/down 2x, not the up/down..side by side. At that time, it was still so new that they didn’t know that up/down/side by side really didn’t make a difference.
