本案讲述了密西西比州诺克斯比县两名三岁女孩考特尼·史密斯和克里斯蒂娜·杰克逊被谋杀的案件。两名女孩均被绑架、性侵犯并杀害,尸体上都发现了咬痕。基于有争议的咬痕分析法医技术,两名男子拉冯·布鲁克斯和肯尼迪·布鲁尔分别被指控犯下两起谋杀案,并被判刑。然而,后来的DNA证据证明两人无罪,真正的凶手是贾斯汀·阿尔伯特·约翰逊。本案暴露了咬痕分析技术的局限性和不可靠性,以及其可能导致冤假错案的风险。拉冯·布鲁克斯和肯尼迪·布鲁尔在监狱中度过了漫长的岁月,他们的案件也凸显了司法系统中法医证据使用不当的问题。

Shownotes Transcript

#221 - Two three-year-old girls from Noxubee County, Mississippi, are found murdered under very similar circumstances. They were both abducted from their homes, sexually assaulted, and killed. Their killers also left behind a strong piece of forensic evidence: a bitemark. But despite their similarities suggesting the same person was responsible for both crimes, two separate men were arrested largely based on the controversial subfield of forensic science known as bitemark analysis.
