Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington, authors of The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist, join Libertarianism.org to discuss forensic science and the criminal justice system.

Dark tale of ‘The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist’ brings wrongful convictions to light
For nearly two decades, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West were the go-to experts that Mississippi law enforcement and prosecutors relied on when there was a potential homicide. Haynes performed the bulk of the autopsies in the state, while West was a dentist who touted his skill in bite-mark analysis. But after years of investigations and countless testimonies from the men, their claims of expertise began to fall apart–and wrongful convictions began coming to light.
Tucker Carrington (coauthor of The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist), the founding director of the Mississippi Innocence Project and Clinic at the University of Mississippi School of Law, joins the ABA Journal’s Lee Rawles for this episode of the Modern Law Library.
