The Innocence Network announced that Attorney Barry Scheck will lead an independent probe into the flawed FBI forensics in an effort to find cases
where injustices could have occurred. Scheck's group has freed over 200 who were wrongly convicted since he began the Innocence Project in the early
90's.
Legal groups to probe FBI bullet
forensics
Here is another Solomon two part article on the topic:
Convicts unaware of flawed FBI
tool
Years later, conviction in doubt
The second article documents the case of a Baltimore police officer convicted of murder, the use of the faulty forensics, and the expert witness who
falsified his credentials and subsequently committed suicide once he was outed as a fraud.
I don't know if the officer was innocent, but it is clear that some of the evidence used to convict him was fabricated to boost the prosecution's
case.
His case is pending in front of a judge in Baltimore who is deciding whether to overturn his conviction based on these new developments.
