The Forensic Science Scandal?

[Barrister]

I read about the Texas case.  Some newspaper or magazine did a big article on it - which I recommend, it's a story worth reading.

I believe it was posted here.  The main lesson I learned was that the conclusions by the investigator had, in the end, not a whit of scientific evidence to back them up.

To be fair, Willingham is huge over here.  The general consensus seems to be that the state is doing everything in their power to stall, but will eventually have to review the validity of the conviction.  I remember driving to school one day last semester and hearing an NPR segment where they mentioned some anomalous behavior on the part of the administration shortly prior to his execution.
