Viewpoints: New law will fix handling of DNA testing cases – Viewpoints – The Sacramento Bee
California’s laws mean that many people who want to use DNA to establish their innocence are denied testing for reasons that defy common sense …
With SB 980, more innocent people will be free from prison, and more guilty people will be identified, prosecuted and convicted for their crimes.

An astonishing number of officers and prosecutors who know they did a lousy job and likely put the wrong person behind bars definitely don’t want anyone to know that they did a lousy job and likely put the wrong person behind bars.
They needn’t fear any consequences for destroying, damaging or “losing” evidence so that it can’t be DNA tested, or misrepresenting the results of DNA tests so that they implicate an innocent … so that’s exactly what they do.
The FBI is supposed to ensure that public corruption doesn’t affect trial outcomes, but the FBI is dirty: tens of thousands of convictions affected by their having forsaken various forensics analysis methods are being ignored. Congressional Intelligence Oversight – that’s obliged to keep the FBI clean – is dirty, too. The mendacious mainstream media knows all of this and works it all to its advantage in controlling public opinion and elections.
My two-word proof of the content of the previous paragraph: Bob Graham, as in former Florida legislator/governor/U.S. Senator Bob Graham, who sat on the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee for ten years, whose family still owns Slate and owned the Washington Post up until last year, and whose been on the wrong side of burying forsaken forensics since the mid-1980’s.
Linroy Bottoson ~ Executed by Florida in 2002 despite dog handler John Preston being federally discredited in 1982 and locally discredited in 1987, despite the jailhouse informant recanting and despite his mental illness, replicating the 1998 Florida execution of Gerald Stano, with one exception – to my knowledge, the FBI only directly participated in Bottoson’s case.

Exactly. There are even DNA scientists who’ve been outed as having falsified results entirely, and were never prosecuted for it despite sending innocents to prison for decades.

It’s nasty business, for sure, Caleb. One of the incarcerated innocents I advocate for – Jeff Abramowski – had a DNA “expert” testify that two markers out of 15 was a “hit.” Judges at the appeal level are notorious for maintaining that accurate depiction of DNA wouldn’t have mattered to a jury, when of course it would have made all the difference in the world.

Wow.. Two hits is supposed to constitute an absolute match for conviction according to these “experts”. Hell their own DNA might even come up as a match if that’s the case.

True! But we won’t DNA to put lying “experts” away; their perjuries are so easy to disprove that even this disabled decorator can do it. The supposed unique factor in Jeff’s DNA – 17.3 at marker D18S51 – is as common as a head cold among males, per federally published male paternity tests.
