Kinda gross, but interesting to me since I have been interested in forensics since a teenager (I was _extremely_ skeptical of the original CSI because I was used to seeing forensics being done badly, I was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn’t totally BS (however, that Miami thing was embarrassing (never watched the NY version))). This sort of thing will lead to a field day for the defense as they can now make the bug people’s testimony into nonsense (or more nonsensical than it already is to the 12 clueless people in the box).
