Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 296 pages.Before there was CSI, there was one man who saw bey ond the crime and into the future of forensic science, Bernard Sp ilsbury, who brought criminal investigation into the modern age. Sir Bernard Spilsbury was an early-twentieth-century British fore nsic pathologist who gained fame by testifying in classic murder cases, beginning in 1910 with the Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen trial . His expert court testimony-he identified Crippen's victim by de tailed microscopic study of a scar-convinced the lay jury of Crip pen's guilt. Considered the father of modern forensic pathology, Spilsbury became well known after he provided crucial prosecutori al evidence in the Brides in the Bath case (where a nurse nearly drowned in a laboratory experiment designed to prove his theories ), the Blazing Car and Brighton Trunk murders, and the Hay-on-Wye aresenic poisoning trial. Knighted in 1923, Spilsbury performed 20,000 postmortem examinations and became the first and only Hono rary Pathologist to the Home Office. Controversial and dramatic, Lethal Witness charts Spilsbury's rise and fall as a media star, revealing how he put spin on the facts, embellished evidence, and played games with the truth. In some notorious cases, his positi ve evidence led to the conviction and execution of men innocent o f murder-gross miscarriages of justice that now demand official p ardons. Andrew Rose examines Spilsbury's carefully nurtured image , dogmatic manner, and unbending belief in his own infallibility and exposes the fallacies of the man dubbed the most brilliant sc ientific detective of all time. True crime fans, students of fore nsics, and law enforcement professionals will enjoy this biograph y of Sir Bernard Spilsbury, the man who helped raise forensic sci ence to an art. Book jacket.

Before there was CSI, there was one man who saw beyond the crime and into the future of forensic science, Bernard Spilsbury, who brought criminal investigation into the modern age. Sir Bernard Spilsbury was an early-twentieth-century British forensic pathologist who gained fame by testifying in classic murder cases, beginning in 1910 with the Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen trial.

Knighted in 1923, Spilsbury performed 20,000 postmortem examinations and became the first and only "Honorary Pathologist to the Home Office." Controversial and dramatic, Lethal Witness charts Spilsbury's rise and fall as a media star, revealing how he put spin on the facts, embellished evidence, and played games with the truth. In some notorious cases, his "positive evidence" led to the conviction and execution of men innocent of murder-gross miscarriages of justice that now demand official pardons. Quantity Available: 1.
