Irene, "systems" are often slow to admit error--the FBI is a case in point, but also, as I mention often on these threads, local DA offices. DAs are often elected on conviction records, and so these are pushed. In some areas, such as OKC, ambition trumps justice. I think the actual prints are just about infallible. It's these other factors that should make us all worry.

Locally, they've had to release several prisoners because the evidence was proven false or faulty. In some cases, DNA proved some of the men could not have committed the crimes of which they were accused--but did our DA offer apologies or rush to let them out of prison? No. In fact, they said on local television stations that they would try to find some other way to convict them. Anything to avoid having to be "wrong."

I agree with you.
