The FBI Framed Him With Science
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- When tragedy struck Madrid on March 11, 2004, the international community including the FBI rushed to help Spanish police identify the perpetrators. Some of them were too eager.
A partial fingerprint match to Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield thrust him directly into the sights of law enforcement -- and eventually into a jail cell. Despite being 5,000 miles away and not even having a valid passport at the time, the FBI started collecting all sorts of evidence to suggest Mayfield’s guilt. And the problem was having too much data to sort through.
The FBI committed a series of errors from having far too much confidence in fingerprint forensics to employing one of the most common and easily avoidable logical fallacies. They also failed to acknowledge confirmation bias throughout their investigation, and the result was a case against Mayfield that rested on carefully selecting evidence and ignoring the whole truth.
In the nearly two decades that have followed, the FBI’s misuse of forensic evidence and data in the Mayfield case has forced scientists, mathematicians, and courts to re-examine their practices and re-think the validity of what we used to think was perfectly accurate.
Sometimes we don’t have enough evidence to know what really happened -- and other times we have so much information that we actually get it wrong.

This is a perfect example of why "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" is wrong. Evidence against you will be found no matter how innocent you are. Facts and data can very easily be twisted, as it was in this case.
You are wrong. If everyone hides, we would know less about the evidence twists.
"Give me six lines written by the most honest person, and I will find something to have them hanged for"
@Westpoint wtf?
I think the point is that we are allowing more evidence to sway people than that evidence has a rationale to. So, only allow evidence that can be found in spite of a high degree of privacy because presumably that is the evidence that speaks more to proof of wrong doing. And all of that because it's better than framing innocent people. Maybe the answer is to find much better ways to ensure that investigators are actually doing a good job. But again, if that can't be done, then first stop framing innocent people. Yes?
@@menjolno Your conclusion is irrelevant because not everyone hides. That said, you can still find information if people attempt to hide it...I mean, that’s how investigations tend to work....
I was once falsely accused by the police. I envisioned my whole world and future prospects come crashing down around me as they twisted my words to fit their narrative. My incident was resolved without incrimination within a few hours and it was the most nerve-wracking experiences of my life. I can only begin to imagine how Brandon must have felt during his ordeal. He's a champion for persevering.
Yeah those who say you should never talk to the police are right
Hell I was falsely accused of smoking weed in the bathroom (can't imagine why as the only brown kid in a Mormon private school) and THAT was traumatic enough. I can't imagine what you and the first commenter went through and I hope you guys are doing better now.

I was falsely charged of a drug crime when I was 18 years old and a student with a full ride scholarship at a university 7 hours away from where the crime was committed. My class was raided,. I was hauled out in handcuffs, my parents house hours away with my younger siblings was raided, my parents had to hire me an attorney and fight the charges for two years. I was kicked out of the university, lost my scholarship, had to go to court numerous times over the years, paranoid at every second that my life would get destroyed again. The sheriffs dept finally admitted where they got their info, and the girl looked like me, from my old high school and was dating my old high school boyfriend. After thousands of dollars and two years, charges were finally dropped, but my anxiety never left. I was never able to go back to school due to the anxiety, etc. My parents never got over it, and my siblings both got rejected from the university I was kicked out of unfairly, despite having better grades than I did. That really destroyed my life, and changed the entire path of my life.

I once read a crime novel called The Red Thumb-mark, about how easy it would be to frame someone with a fingerprint and how gullible juries can be when it comes to forensics.
The book came out in 1907. Fingerprints were still cutting edge technology. Imagine what someone could do today.

The best part about this case is the FBI seizing Spanish homework.. the reputation and training they have😂 I bet that agent got sacked after they realised it was homework

Really? That agent is probably the head of FBI by now. Being determined to frame an innocent person regardless of the evidence showing their innocence is a requirement to be able to rise through the ranks.
Reputation and training? Law enforcement are as dumb as they come.

I think they are wanting to make videos that show how important what they talk about really is. A good understanding of math and logic can prevent devastating injustice sometimes.
I’m really loving this video series that focuses on mistakes in true crime. This is a very interesting case and the video was done masterfully. I love the editing of all of the clips and newspaper segments. Plus all of the information presented is incredibly informative.
Agreed!

It's funny how the FBI and CIA have done stuff like this for decades and gotten away with it, and people act like they aren't doing it now.

This is why justice will never be able to find the perfect truth and we use "beyond reasonable doubt" based of evidence admitted in court.
Hey Kevin , just wanted to say that I admire these kind of science videos. I get fed up many times with science channels that speak about new science and new technology so cheerfully when everything needs to be seen from many directions. The consequences in social, political, imperial etc. is too important and is too neglected.

Paper: What word is Uno in English?
FBI: Ah yes Spanish Documents that clearly incriminate our prime suspect

Ratio
I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of Mayfield's prints and Daoud's prints. How similar are they actually? - People have an impression that fingerprints are necessarily guaranteed to be unique, but that would require an infinite number of possible prints. There are _not_ an infinite number of possible prints. In fact, it's highly likely numerous people have had prints exactly like someone else that has existed at some point in time. There isn't even an infinite number possible DNA.
In practice, analyses look for specific points of similarity, so they don't check the whole fingerprint anyway. Even if fingerprints are different, there may be sufficient similarities to conclude they are the same. And, of course, it was a low quality, compressed image of a print, which was almost certainly not the whole of the finger.
I'm pretty sure the first thing in biology we learn about fingerprints is that one in like a couple million will match, and that retinas are even more unique.
err while I'd agree with your general point, finger prints being unique would not require there being an infinite number of potential fingerprints, the number of them would just have to be larger then the number of potential human minds that could exist (or well on present day other at least, if aliens existed, or if bioengineering advances far to create new sapient species or AGI was invented, or etc, there would be people that weren't human, but those cases aren't really relevant) , which while incredibly large, it's still a finite number (as among other reasons, there's only a finite number of ways that the particles in a human body can be arranged)
While I agreed about the fingerprints, because it’s just surface level identifier, you’re very wrong about dna. You don’t even want to know the amount of dna code there is in you. While 99.99% is the same as everyone else, there’s still hundred of identifiers separating you from your sibling. It’s literally impossible for it to ever match anyone. Infinite, because it can’t regress markers down the line actually.
@@carsonhunt4642 I mean you're not wrong, but they're objectively correct in what they said, although in this situation, it's kinda of the "technically correct" variety. There are absolutely a finite number of ways that our DNA can be arranged just as there is [technically] a finite number of ways the atoms in the universe can be arranged. It's just that it's such a huge number that in practice its closer to infinity than any "normal" number (obviously what I just said isn't technically true, but I'm sure you understand what I mean).
I absolutely love the ways Vsauce2 has reinvented itself. It is absolutely amazing. I've been following Vsauce, and later Vsauce2 for the past decade and I am thrilled with this new content!
9:39 them saying "this degree of coincidence is extraordinarily rare" sounds very similar to "points of similarity that seem to go beyond reasonable coincidence" in the list of similarities between "The Lion King" and "Kimba the White Lion" and we all know how that worked out for them.
The lion king has one single similarity with kimba: it stars a young lion.
People who say they’re the same or that lion king is a ripoff have literally never watched an episode of kimba
These are getting better than Netflix specials, thanks so much for uploading.
So, we know that the FBI has a crazy amount more information about everyone than ever before. That's easy to assume. But, do we know if they have somehow been required to do a better job of analysis? If not, this problem only gets worse and worse.
Required? No. The FBI was originally created to gather dirt and frame those they considered political enemies of the state. Their targets were originally socialists and communists (Charlie Chaplin and MLK) and later on became Muslims. I think calling this a data analysis or confirmation bias issue overlooks the political context the FBI exists in; Mayfield becoming a prime suspect based on his conversion to Islam is and has been standard operating procedure for countless FBI investigations and they only got caught because of how public this one was (and also because he's white.)
@@iy42 commies are the degenerates of the earth if we would just genocide them it wouldn't be a problem
Whaaaaaat....nooooo, The FBI would never make a mistake and do something like this, they totally have a PERFECT track record.
Exactly! Collecting all the data they and the NSA can get their hands on couldn't ever backfire. Both the data and the way they use the data are infallible! That's why the yearly number of deaths from terrorist attacks or mass shootings in the US hasn't been over 20 since 2012, compared to a maximum of 1 from 2003-2008.
/s. The total number of deaths between 2003 and 2008 was 1. The minimum of the past 8 years was 21 in 2013. Since 2010 it's increased in 7 of the 10 full years. So much for data collection being useful.
There was a similar case in Australia. Farrah Jamah was arrested for a case he didn't commit based on the CSI effect - the jury valued faulty DNA evidence over everything else that said he was innocent
This was all on accident.

This is a very important topic and it’s so great to see Kevin covering it like this. The fact is that law enforcement will sometimes just go after anyone that fits their data. The movie Richard Jewell is a really good look at another real life case like this
Imagine trying to explain to your teacher that FBI took your homework
Incompetence at their finest instead of simply asking for objective capacity to discern.
I have a theory about the power lines/leukemia correlation that is far more likely than the power lines themselves. Around power lines they tend to keep any trees and brush down in the area in case they need to service the lines. One of the ways they do it is by spraying various herbicides in the area. There'll be plenty of overspray that would get into the yards around the lines and even if that didn't happen, the odds that children will play around those lines are about equal. As it happens, there are plenty of herbicides that have links to leukemia.
For over 30 years, my father was in charge of the maintenance of high voltage power lines in my part of the world. One part of his job was to make sure the growth below the lines in the right-of-way was kept below about 6-8'. They never used chemicals, because they wanted low growing plants to help stabilize the soil to help reduce landslides. They only cut down tall growing trees once they grew above the max height. This was in mountainous terrain. In flat terrain, they would just let grasses take over. It would not be in the power company's best interest to have a wide swath of bare sterile dirt under their lines.
TL:DR The power companies don't use herbicides under the power lines.
@@samarnadra It could also be related to pure chance and not casually linked to any of those factors.
This channel is unbelievable, I'm happy to have discovered now, but at the same time sad that it took so long, this is a masterpiece.

Bias kills reality
Imagine you just spent an hour trying to finish your Spanish homework, and then it gets seized by the FBI
The video repeatedly pushes the claim that the fault came from too much evidence, but that isn't true. The fault came from the misuse of available evidence, which has always been an issue regardless of the amount of evidence that is available. Putting so much responsibility on the amount of evidence only distracts from the real issue, which can be dangerous.
You’re right, but with more data comes more supporting evidence via confirmation bias. It’s a problem regardless of amount of data, but gets worse with more data
Basically, the more data you have, the easier it is to find a way to pull signal from noise.
Indeed, the actual problem is terrible law enforcement.
Yep, the data only shows up to confirm bias the agents already had… in this case if the guy wasn’t Muslim I honestly doubt things would go this far.
No, the video makes the correct claim that the more evidence you have the easier it is to misuse it. Which is true.
You know it wasn’t a mathematician that said that because we never say 100% 😂😂😂
A really unique perspective within the True Crime genre, Kevin! Really loving it!!
I LOVE the idea behind this video. It really reminds me about how sometimes the media and/or people of influence will interpret real data and numbers wrong to forward their agenda.
"Sometimes" bro i would be shocked if they didn't do it every single time

Fingerprinting isn't nearly as accurate as people act. Even with perfect prints.
DNA is indeed much better, but much more rare. Both are circumstantial, so neither are actually proof, and it’s easy to plant fingerprints, much harder to plant DNA evidence.
Yeah, this is why no single or even small plurality of evidence should be used to convict someone unless it’s extremely overwhelming

However many of them it took to plan the crime.
