RALEIGH, N.C. — Analysts at North Carolina’s crime lab omitted, overstated or falsely reported blood evidence in dozens of cases, including three that ended in executions and another where two men were convicted of killing Michael Jordan’s father, according to a scathing review released Wednesday.
The report does not conclude that innocent people were convicted, but it states prosecutors and defense lawyers need to check whether tainted lab reports helped lead to confessions or pleas.
