This isn't just a matter of a few rogue employees. Seen in light of http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2015/04/fbi_s_flawed_forensics_expert_testimony_hair_analysis_bite_marks_fingerprints.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudenc... it looks like deep, systemic corruption. Notice how there's no mention of any of these labs processing blinded control samples? That's the root cause of the problem. What they're doing isn't science at all.
I'd like to see someone try the legal argument that evidence from a crime lab can't be presented to a jury unless it has reasonable quality control procedures.
