The first trial to allow bite mark evidence was the 1954 case of People v. Gacy in Illinois. In this case, the prosecution introduced bite mark analysis as a form of forensic evidence linking the defendant to the crime. The acceptance of this evidence marked a significant moment in forensic science, despite ongoing debates about its reliability and accuracy in subsequent years.

Is teeth mark evidence reliable?

In 1980 the prosecution used teeth-mark evidence to convict Ted Bundy for 3 murders he committed in Florida. This jury felt with this and all the other evidence that Bundy was the killer. He was not the first to have his teeth come back and 'bite him in the butt'. At the time of Bundy's trial the teeth-mark defense had been used in court in at least a dozen trials. Although the method has it's critics, as forensics have improved and better and more exact imaging machines are used for crime detection, it is certainly gaining more respect, and when paired with other evidence it can make a much stronger case.
