LinkLinks Washington Post Editorial Board: How many people were wrongly convicted because of D.C.’s dysfunctional crime lab? By Editor On Dec 27, 2021 Last updated Dec 27, 2021 86 Share The D.C. Consolidated Forensic Laboratory opened in 2012 to much fanfare. At a cost of $220 million, the facility was set up to be independent from law enforcement and the court system. It promised to bring objective, state-of-the-art science to crime analysis. Just how miserably the lab failed to live up to those objectives was laid bare in a recent report that calls into question arrests, prosecutions and convictions that over the past decade relied on scientific analysis from the lab. 86 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
