Another state police lab under scrutiny

North Carolina, step right up:

This series [by the newspaper Newsobserver], the product of months of reporting, reveals problems far beyond blood analysis. It shows an agency that teaches its agents and laboratory analysts to line up with prosecutors’ case theories. In some cases, they ignore or twist key pieces of evidence. In others, rogue agents range far beyond the rules, sometimes with devastating results.

The newspaper plans to “reveal” new stories every few days or so. This should be fun.
