So did these "experts" know they didn't know WTF they were doing, or were they self-deluded?

I can't decide which is worse.

Did you ever read "Anatomy of Injustice: A Murder Case Gone Wrong"? Cops yanked some pubes out of Edward Lee Elmore, then suddenly claimed pubes were found at the crime scene...He got the death penalty. (He did go free after 30+ years and many appeals.)

When your mistakes favor the prosecution more than 95 percent of the time, there's more than incompetence at work, and you're not merely doing it wrong.

He would have been convicted anyway. They just wanted an excuse to fondle him.

Oh no... I auditioned for them, but it turns out that my cherry-picking skills aren't up to their standard (*blushes*).

Oh just calm the fuck down everybody. If 97% of climate scientists are wrong, and they are as we all know, then 95% of the testimony being tainted is like, less than nothing.

So next we're going to receive an additional mea culpa this time from prosecutors for 'mistakes' that 99% of the time favor cops in police criminal matters, right? :crickets:

so, the FBI gets a 96% match when compared to bullshit . . . but it's OK, some of the defendants have been executed already . . . so won't be suing.

"Special shout out to Florida for topping the charts with your 42 defendants and 10 on death row! Suck it, Texas."

Yeah, but Florida only killed 10% of theirs. Texas did 5 out of 5.

Given that many judges and prosecutors consider actual innocence to be besides the point, one doubts that any of these "exonerations" will come to public light.
