Since Harris County sends more people to prison and death row than any other county, I have a sick feeling that this lab will have directly put an innocent person to death before this debacle is over.Hook Em Hornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660612847019528535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-61765778316069853932009-06-24T15:35:36.265-05:002009-06-24T15:35:36.265-05:00There is a long and sad history of poor science, e...There is a long and sad history of poor science, exaggerated findings, misleading uses of scientific technology and outright fraudulent uses by CSI folks. <br /><br />The key to getting a handle on all of this is to separate the CSI analysis and reporting from the police. An important secondary element would be to reward investigators for use of evidence based "best practices" and adherence to appropriate and ethical uses of scientific investigation and technology -- regardless of who the findings support or undercut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-72767778678671784772009-06-24T11:54:40.109-05:002009-06-24T11:54:40.109-05:00The notion, in light of these kind of practices, t...The notion, in light of these kind of practices, that this evidence is somehow objectively neutral is ridiculous. That States have crafted laws that require the defendants to launch some kind of objection or require them to subpoena techs to preserve lab report objections is preposterous.<br /><br />That being said, I would think that it will be close. Scalia and seems think that the State is trying to shift the burden of proof to the defense.
