Mark Dallagher was convicted of murdering an elderly woman based on an ear print mark left on the window. Cornelis Van der Lugt, a Dutch ear expert, testified that there was "a unique match" between Dallagher's ear and the impression left on the victim's window. Eight years later Dallagher's conviction was overturned, not because the prosecution all of a sudden doubted the validity of the ear impression testimony, but ultimately because DNA taken from the ear impression did not match Mr. Dallagher. Thanks to the erroneous testimony of Mr. Van der Lugt an innocent man was locked up for crime he did not committ.This article shows yet another example of an over zealous scientist testifying in court about ear mark evidence, when its validity has not been researched or peer reviewed.
| "The validity of ear identification is unknown. The research that is necessary to say anything on the validity of ear identification has not been conducted." |

It is rather interesting for me to read this post. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to them. I would like to read more soon.
Don't stop posting such stories. I like to read articles like that. Just add more pics :)
I am the kind of guy who passions to taste unprecedented things. Currently I'm making my personalized pv panels. I am managing it all alone without the assistance of my staff. I'm using the net as the only way to acheive this. I ran across a truly amazing site that explains how to contruct photovoltaic panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I'm not exactly sure about how precise the info given there iz. If some experts over here who had experience with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it will be awesome and I'd highly value it, because I really love solar panel construction.
