Leigh Stubbs, Mississippi Woman, Serving 44-Year Sentence Despite Discredited Testimony

Leigh Stubbs, Mississippi Woman, Serving 44-Year Sentence Despite Discredited Testimony: "Prosecutors in the U.S. often decry what is sometimes called the 'CSI Effect.' Movies and TV crime dramas like the popular 'CSI' franchise on CBS can fill jurors' heads with unrealistic expectations about forensic science. But there's also a flip side to the CSI Effect: Because jurors are ready to believe the fantastical feats preformed by the wondrous forensics computers they see on screen, an unscrupulous prosecutor armed with an expert willing to offer otherwise dubious forensics on the witness stand can cause a lot of damage."
