The Justice Department and FBI acknowledge that nearly all examiners in the FBI Laboratory hair comparison unit gave flawed testimony in trials before 2000. The Washington Post reports that 26 of 28 examiners overstated matches in over 95 percent of 268 reviewed trials, affecting defendants across 46 states and DC, with 32 death cases involved. Four defendants were exonerated. The agencies vow to correct past errors and improve standards across forensic disciplines.
