    The Illusion of Objectivity, Bias in the DNA Lab

    The Illusion of Objectivity, Bias in the DNA Lab

    In the latest 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski' episode, Tony and forensic expert Dan Krane peel back the veneer of impartiality that supposedly surrounds forensic science, especially within the DNA labs that play pivotal roles in criminal investigations. Their conversation uncovers the uncomfortable truth about potential biases influencing DNA analysis. Here's a breakdown of the discussion's key points:





    Personal Connections Rare but Bias Common: Krane dismisses the likelihood of personal connections affecting analyses but admits analysts often know too much unnecessary, case-related information.
    The Lure of "Domain Irrelevant Information": Analysts, even those in technical leadership, are privy to details irrelevant to DNA profiling, like a suspect's gang affiliation, which should theoretically be unnecessary for their work.
    Economic Motivations for Involvement: A cynical take on why this extraneous information is shared with analysts highlights a darker side of human nature; it makes the job seem more thrilling and significant than the paycheck would suggest.
    The Team Mentality Issue: More troubling is the suggestion that crime labs, prosecutors, and law enforcement see themselves as part of a team with a shared goal—securing convictions, subtly shifting the lab's purpose from objective analysis to conviction aid.
    Subconscious Biases at Play: The discussion acknowledges the human element in DNA analysis, suggesting that even subconscious biases can contaminate the process, leading analysts to make judgment calls that favor the prosecution's narrative over cold, hard evidence.

    The Language of Deception, Mark Bowden Analyzes Alex Murdaugh

    The Language of Deception, Mark Bowden Analyzes Alex Murdaugh

    In a revealing episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Mark Bowden, a renowned English author and body language expert, delves into the complex world of non-verbal cues in the context of the infamous Alex Murdaugh case. Bowden shares his expertise on interpreting the silent signals that can betray one's true intentions, providing a fascinating lens through which to view Murdaugh's behavior during his trial and the conflicting narratives surrounding the murders.





    Bowden's approach focuses on clusters of non-verbal cues rather than isolated actions, looking for consistent patterns of deception.
    Observations of Murdaugh in court reveal classic signs of deception, including indecisive movement, protective postures, and vocal stress indicators, which suggest conflicting internal narratives.
    The importance of directness in testimony is highlighted; fluid and confident movement typically indicates truthfulness, while hesitation and asymmetry suggest deceit.
    The concept of belief and self-conviction is explored, questioning how Murdaugh's own beliefs might align with his actions and the potential for an accomplice.
    Bowden addresses the potential for changing deeply held beliefs and the circumstances that might lead an individual to alter their narrative or break habitual patterns of behavior.
    Through Bowden's analysis, the episode sheds light on how body language and human behavior can offer key insights into criminal cases, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in the Alex Murdaugh case.

Best of

My how things change. The podcast is not what it used to be. Sometimes that’s ok and sometimes it’s not. I hope Tony finds a happy medium to it. Edit. And again this podcast has changed. The updates are good but I feel like I can’t keep up with them. I listen to the latest and when I get done with that one there’s another

Just dumb

Waste of podcast space! Regarding people writing prisoners; 1- all people in prison are not actually guilty-2 if we expect inmates to get out one day and blend back into society, I think writing is a great way to support a healthy society 3 people change , don’t assume everyone is Susan smith I can’t even continue with this review because the ignorance is still bantering in my ears! JUST DUMB

Just ads

This podcast has changed so much. Regurgitated information sandwiched by ads that play the same thing twice in a row. Premium membership? Why? I could just read the show notes and garner more information.
