A PA court upheld Patricia Rorrer's conviction over her claim of misconduct connected to the hair evidence, noting that a cigarette butt at the crime scene contained her DNA. There was just 1 problem: despite Rorrer's motion, the butt was never tested: https://t.co/WjsdsfRThB
WOW! Video of Dr. Michael West 'manufacturing' bitemark evidence is now available for public viewing.
Dan Slepian obtained a never-before-broadcast video of the discredited bite mark evidence used against Jimmie "Chris" Duncan at trial. Journalist Radley Balko tried to bring attention to the video many years ago, so shout out to him, too.
... and DA Steve Tew says he still wants to retry Duncan.....

After 18+ years in prison, serious questions remain about the evidence that convicted Amanda Lewis in her daughter’s 2007 death.

Devastated to report that my "Trial Objections Handbook" co-author Roger Park has passed away. Roger was a wonderful person and a true titan in the field of Evidence:

Needless to say, I think Walter Traupman is the most critical witness in the Patricia Rorrer case we're covering on @Undisclosedpod. From an article about Rorrer's appeal:
JUST IN: The Supreme Court confirms that birthright citizenship is a right under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Roberts writes the 6-3 decision, with only Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting.
