Bad hair day

[MajGenl.Meade]

Big RR is exactly correct.

To be fair Guin (and Jim) while I don't necessarily disagree with that conclusion, I never wrote that statement (I think Meade did, and he later qualified it). But I do think the convictions must be closely reviewed and most will probably be reversed.

I wasn't "truthing" that statement, but commenting on what Jim wrote.

I do think the convictions must be closely reviewed and most will probably be reversed.

I expect that the cases will be reviewed, and that ultimately a relatively small percentage of them will result in new trials. Media sensationalizing not withstanding, I'll be surprised if it turns out that this evidence will have been found to be sufficiently dispositive in many cases to justify tossing out the conviction.

I didn't think you were, but I tend to want to place credit (and blame) where they are due.
