WASHINGTON (AP) - Reformed after controversy in the mid-1990s, the FBI crime lab is dealing with new wrongdoing by employees that has opened the door for challenges of the lab's science in scores of cases involving DNA and bullet analysis, internal documents show.
One FBI lab scientist, who connected suspects to bullets through lead analysis, has been indicted after admitting she gave false testimony, and a technician has resigned while under investigation for alleged improper testing of more than 100 DNA samples, according to records and interviews.

Not at all relevant. I don't dismiss the testimony of whole categories of people based the misdeeds of a few. Go hold that up to the mirror to find your target audience. I have the intellectual rigor to distinguish betweens the actions of individuals rather than tarring all people in similar occupations with the same smears. Why would I care what one lab did unless that lab was the one who was providing evidence in a particular case? Just because some dweebs post stupid comments to Free Republic am I now supposed to think you are a dweeb too? It doesn't work that way.
