ABOUT THIS SESSION

 

Television has shaped how audiences expect forensics to work, but reality tells a different story. Rachel Howzell Hall leads a discussion with DP Lyle, Jennifer Chase, Robin Burcell, Sheila Lowe, and Steve Scarar about the gap between science fact and pop culture myth. This session explores where fiction often goes wrong and how writers can create believable forensic details without relying on TV shortcuts.
