They are insane.

How many people were sent to death wrongly? The death penalty can rarely ever be given fairly or fool proof because humans are flawed.

Glad we're FINALLY realizing that bite marks aren't unique identifying traits!

So when do we realize the government should never be given the right to take a life under any circumstances?

2--Our March story looked into questions surrounding Duncan's conviction, which involved bite mark analysis by Dr. Steven Hayne and Michael West. 9 prisoners have been set free after being convicted in part on inaccurate evidence given by West and Hayne. https://veritenews.org/2025/03/11/louisiana-jimmie-duncan-bite-mark-analysis-death-row-junk-science/
