Science is transforming courtrooms by providing objective, reliable evidence that can significantly influence verdicts. Advances in forensic science, such as DNA analysis, digital forensics, and ballistics, allow for more accurate crime scene reconstructions and suspect identifications.

Additionally, the use of technology, like digital evidence analysis and data visualization, helps juries and judges better understand complex cases. Organizations like the Innocence Project leverage these advancements to overturn wrongful convictions by re-examining old evidence with new techniques.
