For the 911 "analysis" to have a chance in court would require a totally incompetent defense lawyer and/or a terminally stupid judge. I can't believe it's been approved on appeal anywhere in the country.
As you say, the medicare advantage scam is just that.
Evidently prosecutors have found ways to sneak it in rather than overtly introducing it, so as to avoid judicial scrutiny at any level. There's no shortage of not-quite-bright defense attorneys and judges, but the writer only found one instance in which it was introduced as science by an 'expert' witness.

Where was that instance? I can imagine police using it to frighten suspects into confessions outside of formal court room procedures.
Somewhere in Michigan. It did get overturned on appeal, but not before the guy spent several years in jail.
