*Note To Self: Don't voluntarily give evidence or samples to law enforcement simply because you're innocent and "have nothing to hide." 😂

A teenage boy was wrongfully convicted of #rape and spent 4 years in prison before being exonerated. After he voluntarily agreed to a blood sample collection to enable #Police do a DNA analysis because he knew he was innocent and wasn't even at the crime scene.

Turns out the #forensics lab seriously fucked up the handling of DNA samples assigned to them and gave a false match to samples from the crime scene.

#DNA Evidence is vulnerable to human errors and biases in practically every step of its handling - From collection at the crime scene, Lab handling, interpretation by the experts or even from faulty collection equipment outside the control of law enforcement.
