The man who was jailed for 22 years – on the fantasy evidence of a single hair:
Kirk Odom spent 31 years in prison and on parole after pseudoscientific analysis that has finally been discredited. Now the FBI admits it was wrong – in Odom’s case, and many thousands like it
Kinda like fingerprints and phrenology, hair matching was yet another fantasy spun up by the FBI to use to bolster false convictions.
