Exposed byFrederic Whitehurst
A laboratory later discovered to have a "pro-prosecution bias" that may have resulted in thousands of wrongful convictions.

Frederic Whitehurst was a Supervisory Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory from 1986 to 1998. Officially rated as the leading national and international expert in the science of explosives and explosives residue, he went public as a whistleblower to bring attention to a pro-prosecution bias that may have wrongfully convicted thousands.[1][2][3]
