JUSTICE: CSI Is A Lie: America’s shameful system of forensic investigation is overdue for sweeping reform. I’ve written about this problem since the very earliest days of InstaPundit, and I’ll repeat a story I blogged well over a decade ago: When I was in college, I interned for a criminal defense attorney who told me that although most people, including defense lawyers, assumed that the FBI lab was a gold standard, he always sent stuff to an independent lab for verification, and half the time it came back with a different result from the FBI lab. He said he didn’t understand why more lawyers didn’t do that, since a different result in itself might produce reasonable doubt.
