Episode: #390 Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science - Bloodstain Pattern Evidence - UPDATE
Description: Bloodstain pattern experts falsely claim that they can identify the culprit of violent crimes by examining the shape and distribution of bloodstains from a crime scene.

Kate Judson, Executive Director of the Center for Integrity in Forensic Sciences, updates Josh Dubin's Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science.Â
