I'm curious why all the comments on this thread have to do with the press, and not with the lack of consequences for somebody who falsified evidence in a crime lab.

The article that was posted had a single example of a lab worker who falsified a single report. Quality control detected it. No harm was done. There's an implication that, since no in-depth investigation was done, that other reports had been falsified, and that harm had, most likely, been done.

But that's just baseless speculation on the part of the media. The evidence that I see is that quality control is in place in the lab and fraud doesn't get very far. But in the media, on the other hand, fraud wins Pulitizer Prizes and Peabody Awards.
