Scientists in Israel have demonstrated that DNA evidence can be fabricated. This has major implications for the criminal justice system. Apparently someone with the level of expertise of an undergraduate biology degree can pull this off. DNA evidence has been taken as unchallengeable evidence for too long. Looks like it is back to old school detective work for the police... Especially given the severe lack of certification/credentialing for those who work in forensics labs. Expect to see a rapid increase in legal challenges to DNA evidence in the future as a result of this development.
