You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch. If you want more recent writing of mine, most of that is at my BrXnd marketing x AI newsletter and Why Is This Interesting?, a daily email for the intellectually omnivorous.
Prosecutors in the United States are now spending much more time explaining to juries why certain kinds of evidence are not relevant. Prosecutors have even introduced a new kind of witness--a "negative evidence" witness--to explain that investigators often fail to find evidence at a crime scene.Apparently it cuts both ways, though, as criminals are also watching these shows and learning some tricks to cover their tracks. I love TV.
