Eddie Lee Howard was convicted and sentenced to death in 1994 for the rape and murder of 84-year-old Georgia Kemp in Columbus, MS. The only physical evidence against him came in the form of bite marks, not visible to the naked eye, found by the since discredited forensic dentist / junk scientist Michael West.

For a detailed account of the junk science of bite mark evidence, listen to the episode “Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science - Bite Mark Evidence” from our Webby Award nominated series Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science.
