Faulty Science

"There has been a landslide of problems exposed in the criminal justice system that stem from faulty science being used to convict the innocent. There are too many examples to dismiss them as exceptions, or as technical problems that apply only to specific methods. Instead, there are basic, fundamental problems in the way that scientific data are being gathered, used, and presented in our courts. It is a crisis. It means that you can live a righteous life, abiding by the law, and yet become a victim of a faulty prosecution. It also means that the real criminals are going free, to commit more crimes and spread the word that they can get away with it."
