Why a High-Ranking FBI Attorney Is Pushing ‘Unbelievable’ Junk Science on Guns

Forensic analysts testify at trials as “experts.” But juries don't know that their methods "seriously underestimate the false positive rate.”

Late last year, a forensic firearms analyst in Wisconsin emailed a remarkable document to more than 200 of her colleagues across the country. It was a handout from an online lecture given by Jim Agar, the assistant general counsel for the FBI Crime Lab.

For years, forensic firearms analysts have claimed the ability to examine the marks on a bullet found at a crime scene and match it to the gun that fired it—to the exclusion of all other guns. It can be powerfully persuasive to juries. But over the last decade or so, some scientists have cast doubt on the claim.

Forensic firearms analysis falls into a subcategory of forensics colloquially known as “pattern matching.” In these specialties, an analyst looks at a piece of evidence from a crime scene and compares it with a piece of evidence associated with a suspect.

The most damning criticism of the field came in a 2016 report by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, or PCAST, which found that “firearms analysis currently falls short of the criteria for foundational validity,” and that the studies the field’s practitioners often cite to support their work are poorly designed and “seriously underestimate the false positive rate.”

After decades of deferring to these forensic analysts, a handful of judges started to heed the warnings from scientists, and have put limits on what some forensic witnesses can say in court. Those decisions have sparked a defensive backlash in the forensics community, along with rebukes from law enforcement officials and prosecutors.

Agar’s document is part of that backlash. In the two-page handout, Agar instructs firearms analysts on how to circumvent judges’ restrictions on unscientific testimony. He even suggests dialogue for prosecutors and analysts to recite if challenged. Most controversially, Agar advises analysts to tell judges that any effort to restrict their testimony to claims backed by scientific research is tantamount to asking them to commit perjury.

Dr. Phil Show staffers allege toxic workplace culture: ‘Traumatising’

Around a dozen current and former Dr. Phil Show employees have made shocking allegations about what goes on behind the scenes.

Can Dr. Phil fix his own reportedly broken work family?

About a dozen current and former employees of the Dr. Phil show have shared allegations with BuzzFeed News that cast a dark shadow on the long-running advice program.

In the CBS daytime show’s 20 years on air, psychologist Phil McGraw has gained a reputation for his affable, no-nonsense advice and so-called “Phil-isms” – as one goes, “We teach people how to treat us” – that he doles out to guests and their families on the brink of crisis.

“Everyone was just pretty miserable. You would walk into the building and there was just a palpable dread and anxiety,” one ex-employee told the site. “Dr. Phil – the show about mental health where everybody who works on it has terrible mental health because our work conditions were really bad.”

The irony of the new explosive claims – that a show whose mission it is to advocate for mental health hygiene couldn’t keep its own set happy – isn’t lost on the accusers.

“I would have nightmares,” a former employee told BuzzFeed, choosing to remain anonymous for fear of backlash. “Even when I quit, I had to go to therapy for it, which is crazy because you’re working for a therapist.”

It’s also long been noted that McGraw, 71, holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, not a medical degree, and is also not licensed to practice.

Though McGraw himself was not directly implicated in any of the anecdotes heard by BuzzFeed, accusers suggested he must be privy to the alleged bad behaviour of executive producer Carla Pennington. The Emmy-winning producer is being accused of, among other things, outbursts at lower-level employees – allegedly calling them “idiots,” “stupid” and “retards”.

Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake Exposes Trump-OBSESSED Australian ‘Lunatic’ – “I Don’t Live In Australia. Are You Actually A Respectable Journalist There Or Are You Kind Of Considered A Joke?”

Kari Lake released her full interview with 60 Minutes Australia, and she ate the reporter’s lunch.

The Gateway Pundit reported on a teaser clip from this interview that Lake released.

This was another failed fake news media hit job on Kari Lake. Kari exposed another propagandist for the Trump-hating leftist hack he is.

Before the interview started, Kari Lake said, “did you hear that, Laim? We’ve got about 15 minutes,” and Liam Bartlett responded, “Okay, alright. Well, let’s get started.”

Lake always comes prepared with her own camera. She said this was the “most biased interview” of her life.

Fighter jet crashes near Air Force base in AZ

A privately contracted fighter aircraft crashes near Luke Air Force Base late Thursday morning

“At approximately 11:11 a.m. today, during a routine training mission, a contracted Mirage F1 fighter aircraft operating out of Luke Air Force Base crashed 15 miles northwest of the base in an unpopulated area,” the Air Force Base said in an afternoon press release. “The pilot was able to safely eject. The cause of the incident is under investigation.”

Following the crash, support teams from the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron fire department, 56th CES explosive ordnance disposal unit, and 56th Security Forces Squadron arrived on the scene.

Fox 10 reporter Nicole Garcia tweeted video footage showcasing the crash site. “Breaking : military aircraft crashes in Desert in Buckeye, pilot reportedly ejected before the crash and is safe. Crash debris strewn across the desert. Waiting for an update from military police/Luke Air Force Base #fox10phoenix.”

Brig. Gen. Gregory Kreuder, 56th Fighter Wing Commander said, “Our Airmen and partners are our most important resource and we are committed to conducting our mission to train the world’s greatest fighter pilots as safely as possible.”

“We are thankful for the continued outstanding support Luke receives from our community partners, especially during difficult situations like this,” Kreuder added. “Finally, I’m grateful nobody was hurt on the ground and the pilot was safely recovered with only minor injuries.”

Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC), the private company that provided the aircraft told AZ Family, “Today, an ATAC Mirage F1 fighter aircraft supporting military flight training at Luke Air Force Base was destroyed when it crashed in an uninhabited area outside the base. The pilot safely ejected and is being treated for minor injuries. ATAC is investigating the incident and will work with relevant authorities to determine the cause and take any remedial action that is necessary. We ask for your understanding as we work through all the details of this investigation. ATAC will provide more information as it becomes available.”

ATAC is a subsidiary of Textron and operates a variety of fighter aircraft, including Mk-58 Hawker Hunter, Israeli F-21 Kfir, A-4 Skyhawk, L-39 Albatros II and the French Mirage F-1. The company employs former military aviators and uses its aircraft to train with active military aviators in the Air Force, Navy, Marines and Air National Guard, honing their tactical flight skills.

AZ Family reported the FAA placed a 24-hour temporary flight restriction in a five-mile area around the crash site.
