Abstract:
"CSI" portrays inferences from forensic evidence as highly reliable and as convincing for convictions and exclusions as forensic DNA. Are results from fingerprint analyses, bullet lead concentrations, and eyewitness identifications equally trustworthy? I'll describe the serendipitous way in which I became involved in these issues, first with bullet lead, followed by NAS committees on Forensic Science, 2001 Anthrax Letters, and Eyewitness Reliability. Along the way I'll offer some ideas on how statisticians can make an impact on raising the level of confidence in the criminal justice system.
