Episode Notes

Less than 5% of major crimes end in a conviction. For cold cases, that number drops to 1%.      

Those numbers won’t stay low forever.  

David Mittelman’s company, Othram Inc., is revolutionizing DNA sequencing and, in the process, greatly reducing the number of “unsolvable” cases.   

 I called David to learn more about how the new technology works, what it means for the future of crime-fighting, and maybe get some fascinating stories out of the bargain too.      

This is… A Bit of Optimism.
