About this episode

The episode features an interview with Michael Whyte discussing latent-to-latent comparisons in forensic science.

In this episode, the guys start with a product-based Mandela effect question. Then they welcome back long-time friend of the show and webmaster, Michael Whyte from the New South Wales police force in Australia. Michael has a question for Glenn and Eric, regarding latent-to-latent comparisons, using latent prints as 'proxy exemplars' when the exemplars are worse than the latent prints or incomplete, and various off-shoots of these questions. The guys discuss the theoretical basis and some of the legal issues that arise in both the U.S. and Australia.
