Inspector General‘s Report Slams DOJ For Mishandling Its Investigation Of FBI Crime Lab Problems

There‘s a lot more bad news in the report, but nothing really tops the FBI contributing to the death of at least one innocent person. This isn‘t something that was uncovered after the execution. This information came to light in 1996, but no one involved made any attempt to prioritize affected convictions. Innocent people died or were locked away for years and yet, the DOJ portrays itself as the injured party.
