Summary:

With few established scientific standards, no central oversight, and poor regulation of examiners, forensics in the U.S. is in a state of crisis. Investigate how modern forensics can send innocent men and women to prison - and even to death row. And examine today's shaky state of crime science as well as cutting-edge solutions that could help investigators put the real criminals behind bars.
