Fire investigation has faced a similar rethinking. Most investigators are looking for arson to begin with and the "science" is mostly lore.
Texas executed a likely innocent man in 2004 on spurious "fire evidence" and the highly questionable testimony of a cellmate.
The man lost three children, was accused of murdering them, and then was murdered in turn.
And some people still think that capital punishment is a good idea.
