If Wired stopped getting these experts on, it would be a crime.
-
He looks like he would be everybody's favorite middle school teacher
-
I actually had the pleasure of working with Matt in the field, and he is a truly an expert on the subject matter and a genuine person.
-
“How many people got away with murder before forensic science improves and DNA?” 1:55 : “a better question would be how many people got wrongfully convicted before forensic science” YES
-
You can tell he testifies often by how simply he explains things. In forensics myself (drug analysis) and this was great!
-
I wish someone asked a question regarding the mental toll of encountering some really gruesome and heartbreaking crime scenes on a regular basis. I appreciate what people in forensics do, but it would be my nightmare job for that reason. Curious on how they deal with it.
-
I love these expert interviews! I never know what I’m going to learn about but I’m never disappointed 😅❤
-
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
-
Expectation: How to get away with murder? Reality: Here's how we fold a paper into an envelope.
-
As a former computer forensic specialist this was excellent! That magnifying glass analogy was a great example of “baffle them with bull 💩”
-
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"
-
You have to respect how this guy brings of the fallibility of forensic evidence and wrongful conviction of his own accord. He is careful not even to presume guilt for OJ Simpson. This is the forensic expert we want in the court room.
-
as someone who wants to specialize in forensics, this is a video i’ve been dying to see and very happy it’s finally happened.
-
Get a forensic anthropologist on here!! They handle the identification of skeletonized remains (when the body doesn't have a face to ID them by) and finger prints
-
I wanna see this guy and Victor the mortician to do one together! :D
-
I would like to see him break down movie / TV scenes on what is accurate or incorrect.
-
Seriously, these series are the reason why I'm still on the internet
-
I need to know more about the "stepfather burying the body in the backyard" case.
-
Wow. I've only ever heard about the court side of the OJ case, never knew about the difficulty in the investigation stage. It was just a perfect storm of Bad.
-
I have an uncle that had a murder charge that was only overturned because of DNA evidence. I guarantee he would have went to prison his entire life without DNA.
