But all of that gets lumped into "forensic science", even the totally made up fake pseudo-science parts. No one is demarcating the stuff that has a scientific basis from the stuff that is totally made up bullshit, because the purpose of the entire endeavor is to convict people and no one cares if it's actually real if it serves that function. Forensic science is inseparable from the justice system. Forensic science is completely fine with fucking quacks going up and getting people convicted of murder in hundreds or thousands of trials.

DA

No, it's not. The JUSTICE SYSTEM is fine with quacks going up and getting people convicted for murder.

Forensics is just a very, very young science. It's going through the phase of weeding out things that we thought worked with better science. This is a process that every science goes through, btw. It has abandoned bullet-lead analysis that has been proven not to work. Forensic dentistry is on it's way out, as the more recent studies with better controls have called the earlier studies into question. The only cure for bad science is more science.

And science takes time.
