Shroud Evidence on Trial

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy Powell interviews retired judge and longtime Shroud researcher David Belz.

David shares how his experience as a trial lawyer and judge shaped his approach to the Shroud of Turin. He explains how legal principles such as circumstantial evidence, corroboration, and “clear and convincing evidence” can be applied to the debate surrounding the cloth.

The discussion explores:

Confirmation bias and skepticism
The relationship between faith and evidence
Bilirubin findings in the bloodstains
Scientific testing of the Shroud
The legal concept of cumulative evidence
How the Shroud aligns with the Gospel accounts
The emotional power of the face image
Why curiosity drives ongoing research

David also explains why science alone may never fully answer the question of authenticity. Instead, he argues that theology, science, and law each provide different paths toward truth.

This episode offers a powerful discussion about the Resurrection, Jesus Christ, and the evidence surrounding the Shroud of Turin. It also highlights themes explored in Guy Powell’s book, The Only Witness.
