This is a good opportunity to improve the overall rigor in determining what can pass as scientific evidence in trials. Companies push this garbage to make a quick buck, prosecutors credulously buy in to boost their metrics, and the justice system becomes increasingly unjust. The efficacy of this stuff hasn't even been demonstrated, let alone the understanding of uncertainties jurors must have to weight this kind of information. Putting the brakes on for now is absolutely the right move. The fates of human beings should never be decided by commercial black boxes.
