Episode 9: Forensic Science : Smoke and Mirrors meet Crime and Punishment

This week we're examining forensics, which is also our inspiration for the topic of our next season, Forensic Labs. We speak with UH Law Center Professor and author of, Cops in Lab Coats, Sandra Thompson about everything from the jury's responsibility when hearing experts on the stand to how labs work and which ones are working better than others. Our featured case is Joyce Hayman, a mother who was wrongfully convicted of giving her toddler son cocaine. Learn along with us about the inner world of forensic science.
