“Concentrate on what cannot lie: the evidence.”  With that simple statement in the pilot episode of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” lead character Gil Grissom voices perhaps the greatest myth about forensic science: its certainty.  Since 1989, bad forensic science has contributed to as many as a quarter of the 2,700-plus exonerations nationwide. Tens of thousands of cases have been found to be tainted by faulty forensic analysis or testimony.  The Houston Police Department had one such lab – consumed by years of mismanagement, neglect, and corruption – out of which grew the Houston Forensic Science Center. It has now become a model of reform. Its leader, Peter Stout – a toxicologist who is an unashamed nerd in a macabre high-tech toy store – sees forensic science as a civilizing force that offers “a just result . something that actually is fair, evenhanded, and reflects, as close as you can understand, the actual truth.”
