John,

Did you know that the misapplication of forensic science has contributed to 52% of wrongful convictions in Innocence Project cases? These cases involved misleading expert testimony, forensic disciplines with weak scientific foundations, insufficient evidence testing, or inadequate forensic reports.

The development of forensic science standards is one way to combat misapplied science and prevent wrongful convictions. This process requires a lot of input and hands-on participation from researchers, scientists, legal practitioners, policymakers, and others.

The Innocence Project has created the Handbook for the Forensic Standards Development Commenting Process to assist individuals and communities in providing commentary on key standards that can help create a more fair, just, and equitable criminal legal system.


Learn more about how the misapplication of forensic science has led to so many wrongful convictions and how we can work together to stop it. [[link removed]]
