Focus sharpens on crime labs' work

The following link to a story highlights incompetence, bureaucratic bungling, and just plain sleaziness and dishonesty in crime labs across the country. You might think running a crime lab correctly might be a good thing, but I guess the justice system has deteriorated so badly that nobody seems to care.

Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/23/2003 | Focus sharpens on crime labs' work - Mistakes made by a lab scientist in Bethlehem could call into question evidence in 615 criminal cases in 27 counties across Pennsylvania, state police said last week.

The case focuses attention once again on the nation's approximately 400 crime labs, which process evidence in thousands of cases each year but which remain largely unregulated.

NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
