Warren said two key pieces led to DuBoise's murder conviction: bite mark evidence on Gram's body and jail informant testimony.

Both unreliable as fuck.

Bite mark is known to be pseudo-science by real scientists, full stop, and jail house informant...well anyone who ever relies on jail-house informants' testimony to send one of their fellow citizens to jail is a miscreant. In fact, if a lawyer presents jail-house informant testimony to any jury I am a part of the best he/she/attack-helicopter can hope for is a hung jury.

I was watching an old episode of the Forensic files where some guy was convicted solely from bite marks... I winced so hard.

I saw a documentary on the guy who started it and profited from it. It was sickening. Take-away lesson- academic experts and elites are full of shit idiots.
