“We should not be compelled to blindly accept as undisputable fact the results of anything. Most of these labs were set up to provide evidence to generate convictions.”

I’m sorry, I do not have that dark a view of the system...

You obviously didn’t read the link. Nor did you read the NYT story lined from there.

In your view, is it Ok that a man got convicted and sentenced to 335 years based on contrived testimony? What about the other prisoner who was pending the death penalty based on contrived evidence? Is it Ok that many people in the chain (including the FBI) knew the evidence was contrived and overlooked it because Zain was “Pro-Prosecution”?

I am glad that I do not have such a naiive view of the system.

Then you are unbelievably naive. Google Edwin Wilson and read the order vacating his conviction.
