On the December 21st edition of Your Call we'll discuss our unquestioned faith in DNA testing.
In her new book, Inside the Cell: The Dark Side of Forensic DNA, NYU Professor Erin Murphy questions the widely held belief that forensic DNA is an infallible science. It has been a savior for the over 300 men and women who’ve been exonerated, but she argues, it also has flaws. The same broken criminal justice system that created mass incarceration now has a new and powerful weapon in its arsenal. What happens when DNA testing is used unwisely? Is there a better way? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guest:
Erin E. Murphy, author of Inside the Cell, the Dark Side of Forensic DNA and NYU School of Law professor
