Flutterby™! : Bitemark analysis not supported by data

More forensic science exposed as fraud: Forensic Bitemark Analysis Not Supported by Sufficient Data, NIST Draft Review Finds

The draft review finds that “forensic bitemark analysis lacks a sufficient scientific foundation because the three key premises of the field are not supported by the data. First, human anterior dental patterns have not been shown to be unique at the individual level. Second, those patterns are not accurately transferred to human skin consistently. Third, it has not been shown that defining characteristics of those patterns can be accurately analyzed to exclude or not exclude individuals as the source of a bitemark.”
