Junk forensics ruining innocent lives: Radley Balko
Advances in technology, such as DNA testing, have changed the way that crimes are solved. DNA technology can not only help prove when people are guilty of crimes, but also prove when innocent people have been wrongfully convicted.

Washington Post Journalist and winner of the 2017 Bastiat Award, Radley Balko, writes about criminal justice, the drug war, and civil liberties, and he recently wrote "The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South": a book detailing a shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives.
I chatted to Radley about this at the Freecoast Festival.
