Wrongful conviction research provides insights into the nature of errors related to forensic evidence.

When researchers examined factors associated with wrongful convictions, they found that in about half of these cases, improved tech or testimony and practice standards may have prevented wrongful conviction at the time of trial: https://t.co/dwVp1LnBBc https://t.co/0FOGkoptZa

@dregray247 @SimonScarrow @Bren4Bassetlaw I would recommend doing some reading around the subject especially regarding DNA. Particularly in this study of 1391 forensic cases, they found 732 to be associated with wrongful convictions. What we want and what is possible aren’t always the same… https://t.co/ivadCmwbH6

Negative corpus was made famous by Sherlock Holmes--once you eliminate the impossible, then whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be true. In the real world, this is poor critical thinking and has contributed to wrongful convictions. https://t.co/Ux4bFN7TEk https://t.co/63Dlo3WGfk

Fire scene investigation should be based on a clear understanding of the origin point of the fire. In the Joseph Awe case, an electrical origin was eliminated incorrectly, and a dubious origin site led to a wrongful conviction. https://t.co/Ux4bFN7TEk https://t.co/E2wESD3ZDp

Arthur Conan Doyle--by way of Sherlock Holmes--popularized the negative corpus, using the process of elimination to justify a conclusion, "no matter how improbable." This wholly illogical and unscientific idea has contributed to many wrongful convictions. https://t.co/Ux4bFN7TEk https://t.co/wvLhiYUEBg
