I am doing a report wheighing out the good and bad of forensic scientists 
testifying in court. I founf that Joyce Gilchrist (forensic scientist) had a 
big part in convicting innocent people, who were sentenced to deasth. Each 
article I read says she was "twisting the evidence". How can she do that? 
Aren't the facts the facts? I thought science wasn't subjective. Please answer 
quickly.
