    Allegedly fabricated bite mark analysis

    That’s a pleonasm with the world’s least necessary disclaimer in front of it.

    The only people who know anything about bite mark analysis and aren’t saying that it’s utter garbage are the “experts” getting rich peddling it and the cops and DAs who just want easy convictions and don’t care about justice or science.
