Full description for Truth Machine    • DNA profiling - commonly
known as DNA fingerprinting - is often heralded as unassailable
criminal evidence, a veritable "truth machine" that can overturn
convictions based on eyewitness testimony, confessions, and
other forms of forensic evidence. But DNA evidence is far from
infallible. "Truth Machine" traces the controversial history of
DNA fingerprinting by looking at court cases in the United
States and United Kingdom beginning in the mid-1980s, when the
practice was invented, and continuing until the present.
Ultimately, "Truth Machine" presents compelling evidence of the
obstacles and opportunities at the intersection of science,
technology, sociology, and law.
