  Apparently CSI had lawyers on both sides cursing it 20+ years ago (when I did a uni module on forensics). Juries expected concise, absolute results. Instead they get probabilities, maybes, and shades of grey.

  I dread to think what it is like now.

    20% likelihood, but the man is black. Straight to Gulag
