I have been following the recent news about Amanda Knox, the Seattle woman who was in the Italian jail system after police there determined she killed her room mate. However, due to some sloppy detective work and the ability to have forensics re-evaluate the evidence, she is now a free woman. Makes you wonder how things would have been if not for the science of forensics.
Decades ago Amanda would have been in jail for the full term. Forensics is a newer science, one which has new discoveries all the time. It has always fascinated people and has become one of the many parts of a good detective show on tv or in the movies. Forensics will be first and foremost in all crime scenes. Amanda can thank the people who do this science for her freedom today.

I agree. There was too much botched evidence right from the beginning. I think the Italian police were lax in doing their job correctly.
