Soon, all prisoners will be found innocent, and all the prisons will be emptied.

You astoundingly seem to be supporting incarceration of innocent people ! Have I got it right ?

From the article:

"Forensic scientists who have reviewed HPD's work say that testimony was grossly misleading and that 1 in 16 black men would have matched the profile."

I think this man is not only owed a pardon, and an apology, but a nice fat check for violating his rights. And the scumbag who testified per the quote above needs to be in jail for a perjury conviction.

This kind of behavior by law enforcement authorities is completely intolerable.

No, and that really wasn't my meaning. It's just that I know where we're headed now. DNA evidence, once thought to be a sure-fire nail in the coffin for perpetrators of crime, is now going to be doubted in nearly every case (and not just from THIS one; this is just another brick in the wall).
