Wanna laugh but the thought of people losing large portions of their lives and some have died because of BS testimony prevents me from doing so. The thought process really angers me it’s like the guy in front of me walked off the cliff so I’m going to also even though we know it’s gonna hurt or kill me but that’s the way we have been doing it

  Many experts are now saying that DNA testing is not as accurate as they thought. In fact, I have read articles that have said they may have had it all wrong

DRAIN THE DAMN SWAMP ALREADY!!!! Sessions needs to be removed from power and influence and swapped with a prison in mate who is doing time based on junk science.

Judicial notice and other such stuff are funny things. I remember back when I was a lawyer, another attorney told a story about trying to challenge the new at the time laser speed guns. He demonstrated in court that the very device that the cop said had been “tested and calibrated” the morning of the stop indicated that the front wall of the courtroom was moving at like 7 mph. Judge still accepted the results of the laser. 😉
