A Step Too Far: The Problems with Forensic Gait Analysis | SpringerLink https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-13733-4_4
The misapplication of forensic science has been identified as one of the leading contributors to wrongful convictions in the United States. Legal scholars, academics, and executive reports have criticized the forensic sciences and offered ways to improve their procedures and to avoid giving misleading testimony
After reviewing these issues, forensic gait analysis is premature in its ability to assist the court given the lack of a scientific foundation (e.g., lack of a data base). To conclude, we recommend that the use of forensic gait analysis be limited and/or receive vigilance from the legal system.
Yeah exactly what I thought. Bullshit science
