Forensic Science: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
LastWeekTonight
A John Oliver Last Week Tonight segment on how forensic science used in criminal trials is often unscientific. It looks at unreliable methods and lab malpractice, and ends with a joke about a TV procedural that might change public perception.
Cited as a light-hearted but informative overview whenever threads touch on junk science and unreliable forensic evidence in courts.
