Its magic or a trick or just ironic, anyone who has seen a magic trick will get the irony.

@Richardgwm Also, the Jury is quite useless, since most of them are layman's who are not well versed in logic and rhetoric and could easily fall to fallacious arguments (eg appeal to emotion).

@seeker447 Well, crime drama is a joke even when addressing the most basic concepts. What I find interesting is that this may come as a surprise to people such as myself who have been a fans of non-fiction programs about crime investigation and prosecution like City Confidential, American Justice, The First 48 etc. I had always just assumed that ballistics and finger printing were long established sciences.
I learned something powerful about assumptions tonight.

this video should be required viewing by anyone who ever watched a TV crime drama. Extreme reality check!

@Richardgwm bad logic and ignorance should not be allowed in youtube.

Eyewitness testimony is so bad, it should never be allowed in a criminal court.
