THe DA's office couldn't prosecute their way out of a paper bag (or a leather glove for that matter. So, go ahead and blame the Lab, everybody else does...we're used to it. 
It's nice to see that everybody and their mother knows how to do our job better due to all of the CSI shows now, but nobody ever gets it right because all of their information comes from T-fuchen-V.
I'm glad everybody can voice their opinions in this great country, it'd be boring if you couldn't

BTW, The Blake aquittal was my fault, too...I could figure out a way to levitate myself above the dumpster to pick through the garbage to locate the P-38 9mm. |
Did I mention the crime lab? No. By "mishandling" I meant how it was transported, and supposedly mixed up with other blood evidence. I can't remember the details, but I believe star witness Mark Fuhrman had something to do with how the blood evidence was improperly handled at Simpson's house, and as we all know, Fuhrman additionally had some...ur...stereotype/racial problems that made him less than stellar. It was enough to make him retire and high tail it to Sandpoint, Idaho, that is after he was charged with perjury. And here he was, a star witness for the prosecution.
Whatever the case, L.A. still had O.J. on the hook, but lost him for many other ridiculous, sloppy and unprofessional reasons.
I'm sure L.V. remembers all this quite well, and will do everything it can not to be embarrassed in the same way L.A. was.
