The FBI was a 'hair' off truthful in 95% of cases!

I love how the bureaucrats can take a turd, shine it up really nice, and present it as a nugget of precious bio fuel or something. Anything but the smelly piece of reality it began as, and realistically, never stopped being.
Lets look at how well the FBI and DOJ can shine a turd?
Oh...my...now that is one BIG ...challenge to shine!
32 death sentences came out of trials where their testimony was used, and 14 of those aren't alive today ... I'd bet hair is pretty convincing evidence with the cultural 'knowledge' that DNA and lab work is absolute in accuracy. (Perhaps it is, too, when humans aren't involved)

Whew...Yeah, I praise the collaborative effort that took too. (shine on! shine off!) I'm tired just reading it.
I'm sure glad they've gotten dramatically better since all THAT happened and...oh...wait....

The FBI and U.S. Justice Department have acknowledged that almost all of the experts in a forensic unit dedicated to microscopic hair comparison gave flawed testimony against defendants before 2000, the Washington Post said.
The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Innocence Project found that 26 of the 28 examiners in the FBI's microscopic hair comparison unit overstated evidence in more than 95 percent of 268 trials that the groups have examined so far, the Post said.

Peter Neufeld, co-founder of the Innocence Project, said the FBI's hair analysis in that period was "a complete disaster" but praised the bureau and the Justice Department for collaborating in the review.
