OFFICIAL QUESTION:

1. Wh0 is this?

2. What is his significance to forensic science?

Our Geek of the Week answered:

This is john Lentini. He’s a cer­ti­fied fire and explo­sion inves­ti­ga­tor and an expert wit­ness on the sub­ject. He often speaks about the stan­dard of care in fire inves­ti­ga­tion and lab­o­ra­tory analy­sis of fire debris, as well as on the progress of stan­dard­iza­tion in the foren­sic sciences.

[BLOGGER’S NOTE: There was an honorable mention this week to former Forensic Science Geek of the Week winner George Schiro, MS, F-ABC who wrote: “1. This is John Lentini, author of Sci­en­tific Pro­to­cols for Fire Inves­ti­ga­tion, foren­sic sci­en­tist, cer­ti­fied fire inves­ti­ga­tor, cer­ti­fied crim­i­nal­ist with a spe­cialty in the area of fire debris analy­sis, for­mer Crim­i­nal­is­tics Sub­com­mit­tee chair­man of the ASTM Commt­tee E30 on Foren­sic Sci­ences, Fel­low of the AAFS, and gen­er­ally all around great guy. 2. John has con­tributed greatly to the sci­en­tific under­stand­ing of fire and arson inves­ti­ga­tions. He has been instru­men­tal in debunk­ing many of the myths, oral tra­di­tions, and old wives’ tales asso­ci­ated with arson inves­ti­ga­tions. John has also lent his time and tal­ents to help those who may have been wrong­fully con­victed, based, at least in part, on unsci­en­tific arson investigations.”
