Mistakes by emloyees at HPD lab leads to review of cases - 12/01/09 - Houston News - abc13.com: "There was a major announcement this morning from the Houston Police Department. It could lead to a review of six years worth of cases.
A stunning review by a consulting firm found that in at least 53 percent of cases that consultants looked at, the fingerprint lab at the Houston Police Department made mistakes. That discovery has led to an internal affairs investigation.
In a press conference held today, the department announced plans to review every major case from the last six years. That means every murder, every rape, every robbery, every violent attack, to make sure there aren't suspects who got away despite the evidence."

I notice they aren't concerned that there my have been someone INNOCENT who was charged and convicted due to faulty "evidence".
If I were on a jury, I could never vote to convict anyone if the evidence came from that crime lab.
