Exhibit A plot

This true crime series shows in four episodes how people have been convicted using forensic techniques that the series suggests are dubious. Produced by the same team that produced 'The Confession Tapes'. Where confessions are questioned in 'The Confession Tapes', 'Exhibit A' questions the reliability of security camera images, contact DNA, corpse dogs and blood spatter analysis.

At the beginning of the series, you hear a forensic expert make a statement that, if I remember correctly, means that forensics can't tell you everything about a case. It's not perfect. You will therefore always have to see it as an addition to the other evidence and let it form a total picture together.

Funny that the series starts with this, because I found that in a few episodes Kelly Loudenberg kind of isolates the forensic evidence from all the other evidence that was found and in many cases doesn't even mention it. The total amount of evidence against, for example, Norma Jean Clark (episode 2) and d'Andre Lane (episode 3), which the series obviously doesn't show, really leaves little room for their innocence and I think these people are completely justified in the prison.

The official Netflix description even writes that the four convicts are innocent: "This true crime series shows how innocent people have been convicted." I find this quite misleading. You say they are innocent. You present 1 piece of evidence per case and pretend they were convicted for it. You try to question or completely undermine that one piece of evidence. Well, what will the average viewer think then?

The convict from episode 1, George R. Powell, seems to be innocent by the way. Mayer Herskovic from episode 4 is now at large, so also innocent. Although he has been convicted thanks to Touch DNA, I didn't think this episode really fit in this series. Fit more at home in a series about corrupt government or something

Still an entertaining series. Only four episodes which are all quite short. Will feel very familiar to fans of Loudenberg's other Netflix series The Confession Tapes.
