WTAF. I’m not sure which is worse, kid glove treatment for these suspects after finding so much evidence or LEOs using this case to complain about bail reform.

i was trying to find some more info on it, but it sounds like they’re not saying much yet

The agency has not explained the specific anomalies found in Woods’ DNA testing or offered any detail about how they occurred. But the budget request notes that the re-testing could reveal situations in which prior “testing by the former scientist was inaccurate” and that the re-testing could create “substantial evidence” to retry prior criminal cases

The CBI so far has reviewed 10% of Woods’ cases and discovered that 229 of those cases were “impacted by this employee’s actions,” according to the budget request. Officials expect to find roughly 2,300 impacted cases across all of Woods’ work. Officials expect another few hundred cases that were not immediately suspected still will need to be re-tested to ensure Woods’ work was, in fact, accurate.

Officials believe the issues are isolated to Woods’ work and not a wider systematic problem with all of CBI’s DNA testing

The “scream-liner” is back in the press. The plane seems to have had a little blackout mid-flight; maybe it was just a little power nap. :thinking:

After the flight landed, passenger Brian Jokat told CNN that he spoke to the pilot, who he said told him: “My gauges just kind of went blank on me.” … the plane “dropped something to the effect of 500 feet instantly.” … “The ceiling’s broken from people’s heads and bodies hitting it.”

In the original report from :new_zealand: Herald one passenger said

“I used to be a flight attendant and this is the first time I’ve ever . . . the whole plane just froze,” she said.

Keep your seat belt fastened at all times, folks.

EDT: Oops, missed it on the BB front page.

More than two-thirds of children under the age of 6 in Chicago may be exposed to lead-contaminated water, a new study finds.

The study published on Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics analyzed lead exposure based on 38,385 household lead tests collected by the Chicago Department of Water Management between January 2016 and September 2023. The researchers used machine learning, an artificial intelligence technique using algorithms, to estimate lead levels in tap water across Chicago based on this existing data.

They found that about 75% of residential city blocks in Chicago had lead-contaminated water. And more than two-thirds – approximately 129,000 – children under the age of 6 in Chicago live on these blocks and may be exposed to lead-contaminated water.
