The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a report this month where, as Judge Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit (member of the council) a large part of "science" used in the courtroom to obtain criminal convictions was exposed as having nothing to do with science.
If that is true, when will we get an accounting from our government, how many wrongful convictions were obtained, how many people were executed, and how much of taxpayers' money was wasted on investigating, prosecuting, incarcerating, medically treating in prison, funding criminal defense and - yes, it costs money - executing people, all based on "voodoo science"?
It is a 174-page report, and I will need time to read it to report on it more thoroughly, which I am planning to do in the future.
Stay tuned.
