I’ve been waiting for this rag to come out with this type of mendacious Alt-Speak about the scientific efforts focused on forensics by the US Congress, National Academy of Sciences, and Obama’s Executive branch. This scrutiny (by established empirical scientists in many cases)  took a  deep look into why wrongful convictions and incarcerations are aided by overblown ‘forensic’ expertise’s performance in police crime labs and criminal courts .
