FBI admits overstating hair analysis for the prosecution over decades.
Of 28 examiners with the FBI Laboratory’s microscopic hair comparison unit, 26 overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the
268 trials reviewed so far, according to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Innocence Project, which are assisting the government with the country’s
largest post-conviction
review of questioned forensic evidence.
Remember, these are the folks who want your crypto backdoors.
