Forensic Odontology: Bite Mark Sent Bundy To Electric Chair, Now Setting Others Free

Forensic Odontology is much more than just "bite mark" evidence. It is an incredible science that helps identify people and provide answers to families. That said, most people hear Forensic Odontology think "Bite Mark".  "Bite Mark" evidence has been used in many criminal cases over several decades, until science started showing it might not be as conclusive as once thought.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack talk about Ted Bundy leaving a bite mark on Lisa Levy's buttocks that later served to help convict and sentence him to death as well as other crimes solved and people sentenced to death using "bite mark" evidence that turned out to be something other than a bite mark.
