It’s stunning how easily unproven “science” permeates the criminal legal system. But until this story by Brett Murphy, I had never heard of 911 call analysis. It is particularly scary.

How Jessica Logan’s Call for Help Became Evidence Against Her

After her baby died in the night, a young mother called 911. Police thought they could read her mind just by listening. Now she’s haunted by the words she chose.

@charlesornstein I read that transcript of the call and thought, that's a trauma response. I wouldn't be thinking straight of communicating clearly if I found my baby dead. Who would?

This is terrifying. Real miscarriage of justice.

Junk science puts all kinds of people/groups at risk of everything from unnecessary medical treatment to first degree murder guilty verdicts.

A "process" debunked by the FBI's BAU should hold zero credence in a courtroom, but now a learning disabled mother sits in prison until her surviving child is 40yo.

No justice in any of this. At all.

@charlesornstein this is so very disturbing but likely very common.
