Forensic Science on Trial at The National Museum of American History

Join us in person in Washington DC to view the exhibit Forensic Science on Trial at The National Museum of American History. The exhibit will take about 30 minutes to get through. Then, we can discuss it or anything true crime in the museum cafeteria.

Here is the link & the exhibit description from the museum's website:

Forensic Science on Trial | National Museum of American History

Guilty or not guilty? When science enters the courtroom, it brings with it the people and the history that have shaped it. This exhibition explores historic cases and how people influence the way forensic science is used in the pursuit of justice. The artifacts span more than 150 years of trials, represent at least twelve different techniques, and include items from three different “trials of the century.” Visitors will see arsenic tests from the 1872 trial of Lydia Sherman, who was suspected of poisoning three of her husbands and eight children in her care, the first polygraph used for lie detection, and a modern apparatus for testing bite marks on cadavers.
