More lab excellence

DNA clears man despite police lab's refusal to do test

Quoted:
Pendleton demanded DNA testing after his arrest, but police lab analyst
Pamela Fish said there wasn't enough genetic material to test the
evidence. Pendleton was convicted based on the victim's identification.

The expert who conducted the new tests, Brian Wraxall of Serological
Research Institute, said Wednesday he was surprised at Fish's report
"because I found a reasonable amount of DNA."

Fish's work has been challenged in the past, most notably in the cases
of four men later cleared by DNA evidence of the 1986 rape and murder
of medical student Lori Roscetti.


Sounds like Pound was giving the orders there. "Guilty as I see them!",
and the lab goes along for the ride.
