And Rightly So

The DNA lab that agreed to withhold evidence in the Duke University rape case is coming under investigation:

Despite this revelation, there has been no sign that the North Carolina State Bar has abandoned its passive approach regarding Nifong’s misconduct. Meehan, however, might face a different fate.

His lab is accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB). I emailed the board to ask if it planned to investigate Meehan’s accreditation status in light of Friday’s testimony. Executive Director Ralph Keaton responded,

As the accrediting body for the laboratory in question, ASCLD/LAB will conduct a review of the issue in question. ASCLD/LAB is aware of the ongoing legal process and will take that into consideration in determining the appropriate time to review the circumstances.

Suffice to say that Brian Meehan's reputation, and that of his lab, is shot. How much longer before this all lands--rightfully--back on the head of DA Mike Nifong?

What a disgrace...
