Crime Science

Last week we got about halfway through the article about the history of the Polygraph, so I thought we could finish reading and discussing that this week.

On the subject of crime, we also talked about the Alex Murdaugh trial in South Carolina (which briefly caused the rest of the US to pay attention to my home state). Here’s a Reddit Ask Me Anything with a reporter who covered the trial. There’s also a podcast, if you’re interested in hearing about the case as it developed in real time.

One interesting thing that came out during the trial was how much information the murderer’s car was collecting about him and sending back to the manufacturer.
