Overview

The Forensic Illusion: Breaking the Evidence Myth exposes the flawed foundations of forensic science that continue to shape criminal cases and judicial outcomes. Author William Hardy takes readers deep into the courtroom's unwavering faith in forensic evidence, unraveling the myths of expert testimony, flawed accreditation, and systemic bias that distort truth in the name of justice. Through riveting case studies, Hardy dismantles the illusions surrounding bite mark analysis, DNA reliability, and digital forensics, revealing how scientific methods are manipulated to fit legal narratives. With eye-opening insights into race, economic inequality, and forensic profiling, this book challenges long-held assumptions about objectivity in forensic investigations. As artificial intelligence and machine learning reshape crime analysis, Hardy explores the future of evidence, the rise of synthetic forensic techniques, and the weaponization of biometric data in an increasingly digitized world. Bold, investigative, and thought-provoking, The Forensic Illusion urges readers to rethink forensic ""hard science"" and demand accountability in the pursuit of truth. Whether you're a legal expert, forensic analyst, or a true crime enthusiast, this book offers a critical and necessary perspective on forensic science's greatest deception.
