You know what worries me (well, lots of things, including accidentally driving my car into a body of water and getting bitten by a black mamba) is the fact that identifying a specific gun that shot a particular bullet AND bite mark analysis are basically bullshit. If a certain Theodore Bundy weren’t already dead, I can imagine a world where he’d at least receive a new trial because bite mark evidence is bunk. Also, Apple corrects his last name to Bundt, which I think is funny. It reminds me of that Eddie Izzard bit where he talks about names that can’t be used for other purposes (“Mr. Hitler makes exceedingly good cakes!”). FINAL NOTE OF THE DAY (I hope) is that I started watching Line of Duty on Amazon Prime, and it’s kind of good - just kind of, mind. This is pushing me inevitably towards Bosch, which I know SDB loves.

POLYGRAPHS! I know everyone here knows that they're garbage, but they still have such sway in the cultural imagination (like blood splatter).
I don't think I saw "BS pour-pattern analysis in arsons" in that Reddit, so I'm mentioning it here now. Cameron Todd Willingham haunts me still. - SDB
