    We're off to the scene of the crime. Need a lawyer? Maybe you should find an evidence broker. He's the guy you go to see when you've been accused of a crime and you need witnesses to prove you didn't do it. At least that's how it worked in the 18th century. Novelist David Liss talks about the birth of modern jurisprudence in this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge.
