    Lots of incriminating quotes in the article from the investigation quoting Woods. She needed to learn to shut the fuck up.

      I mean, no? She was a core reason over 1000 people were convicted, likely wrongly.

      If you fucking brutalize a 1000+ lives, you should talk openly and freely about it nonstop.

        That’s fair. As someone related to the science field, I am skeptical of police (anything, but especially their) ability to investigate things like this.

        I have had Excel delete information from datasheets and have received data where cells were changed to dates because someone opened up the file in Excel. It seems like that was a sticking point in the article.

        Unsurprisingly, she did half this shit to process samples faster which speaks to the systemic problem of underfunded and overworked scientists.
