I watch a lot of true crime/forensics shows and he's frequently featured. Now I have to wonder.

So much of that forensics stuff is hokum. Or at least way less certain than it's portrayed on tv or in court. Citations needed did an episode or 2 on i

Fire investigation has faced a similar rethinking. Most investigators are looking for arson to begin with and the "science" is mostly lore.

Texas executed a likely innocent man in 2004 on spurious "fire evidence" and the highly questionable testimony of a cellmate.
The man lost three children, was accused of murdering them, and then was murdered in turn.
And some people still think that capital punishment is a good idea.

I wonder how many cases will have to be revisited because of this lying shitbag.
