This is an amazing book that lays out how the courts and legal system has been corrupted by 'pseudo - science.' The author reviews many court cases and investigates the legal reasoning behind how illogical arguments/evidence infect the court when they are supported by supposed 'experts' and are drawn up in scientific terms. It's a great book to use as a reference or to learn how the "CSI" shows get it all wrong.
