Lab creates fake DNA evidence

[ghost of delete key]

A lab in Tel-Aviv has faked DNA evidence. <clicky>

 

So now all you rapists and murderers can get back to business as usual.

 

Everyone else, be sure to take your coffee cup and cigarette butts with you, unless you want to be some conspiracy's foil.

i was sorta scared actually until i read about the thing that can detect the difference between real one and fake.

 

so does this really change anything? other than the forensic ..something are going to need to buy that piece of expensive technology to proove that the DNA is not fake.

Not for long...

 

This is too bad because it seemed like DNA was the only real form of forensic science out there. I'm not sure if you folks know this but none of that CSI sh*t is based on any real science, ballistics, teeth, blood splatter etc. Yet you would probably convict someone based on one of those, any of us could be wrongly tried and convicted.

I think majority of members here know that CSI is full of sh*t. And the first clue is, forensics don't carry guns, and they don't interrogate suspects.
