It also will do a “look forward” review that will give advice on what needs to change to improve those processes and protocols."<br /><br />The news article didn't once mention that the problems "discovered" by the Forensic Science Commission (FSC) in 2016 was already known about and reported to the FSC waaaaaayyyyy back in 2010. The Texas Ranges also knew. They created a false report to forward to the FSC.<br /><br />And because the FSC didn't do it's <b>legally required mandate</b> of investigating negligence or misconduct reported from the crime lab in 2010, the problems went uncorrected. Thanks, Lynn!<br /><br />To the QCFAJ, this webpage has numerous documents pertaining to the botched oversight. This is your root cause analysis.<br />https://www.forensicproject.org/learn-about-the-apd-dna-lab<br /><br />Hey Lynn! Take this quote into consideration, "With limited exceptions, attorneys have only one opportunity to file a writ of habeas corpus, meaning they must investigate all potential grounds, even those that are non-DNA related."<br /><br />Need and example? https://anonfile.com/N6g6O7t7b5/2017_APD_Poor_Forensic_Science_Escobar-Writ_2017_pdf<br /><br />One shot.

There was a case where he testified on the basis of the report of an autopsy conducted years before by worst pathologist ever Ralph Erdmann. Natarajan failed to note obvious flaws in Erdmann's work and opined that there was nothing unusual about it, even though he could not identify the anatomic structures shown in the few photographs available of the corpse. The body was not exhumed, so he worked from Erdmann's report which did not even demonstrate that a full autopsy had taken place, contained numerous discrepancies and suspiciously rounded-off weights for the organs. Not to mention referring to non-existent anatomical features. Seems that Lubbock County just can't ever get competent MEs. But kudos to the DA for starting an inquiry into the latest crew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-83677447767463078932019-02-12T14:11:10.739-06:002019-02-12T14:11:10.739-06:00Per a previous comment of mine, I'm still surp...Per a previous comment of mine, I'm still surprised Texas hasn't followed the Federal Bureau of Prisons in dumping old prisoners out the door and onto Medicare.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.com
