DNA profiling—commonly known as DNA fingerprinting—is often heralded asunassailable criminal evidence, a veritable “truth machine” that canoverturn convictions based on eyewitness testimony, confessions, andother forms of forensic evidence. But DNA evidence is far frominfallible.Truth Machinetraces the controversial history of DNAfingerprinting by looking at court cases in the United States andUnited Kingdom beginning in the mid-1980s, when the practice wasinvented, and continuing until the present. Ultimately,Truth Machinepresents compelling evidence of the obstacles and opportunities at the intersection of science, technology, sociology, and law.
