You know how "DNA Evidence" is often presented in slam dunk terms and tones?

While we all know from the O.J. trial that crime labs and associated police personell can and will lie to present evidense...

WOW!  This expose blows the lid on Crime labs across the U.S.  They are not overseen, they answer to virtually no one.  There is zippo checks and balances. The machinery is often outdated or just flat inaccurate.   Gave an example of a Houston FBI chick who falsifyed results of over 400 cases.

Alludes to win at all costs prosecuters as having the opinion of "If the DNA evidense supports my prosecutorial case, i don't want to hear about it if the DNA results are false."

jn i know you have seen some court scenes.  Did you know it was this widespread.
I remeber when DNA evidense was getting big in the early 90s.  I knew a doctor and we talked about how what will now evolve is all kinds of false DNA stuff and/or planted stuff.

Scary.  I hate to say it but we should all have a great defense attys phone #
memorized.

Very good show if you can catch it.
