There’s a new junk science that cops and prosecutors are secretly using to convict innocent people of crimes: 911 call analysis, in which a person is suspected of being guilty of the crime they’re trying to report to the authorities.

@rebeccawatson Do they ever use this "method" to exonerate the innocent, or only to convict? If it's never used to exonerate the innocent, then I question their motives .
@ambulocetus well, if they're improving their conviction statitics, it's not just incompetence, it's also motive at the same time. And don't think exonerations add to those numbers.
People with advantages, like wealth or connections, are less likely to be victims of this, of course..
