Forensic Case Review by Dean A. Wideman
Letter from DNA expert Dr. Theodore D. Kessis
Letter from DNA expert Dr. Lawrence Kobilinsky
Case Review by Hans Sherrer
"From
what I know about this case, I think there's not much question he is innocent..."
(Springfield Republican 3/3/06)
“…many
instances of DNA testing errors have led to the false conviction of innocent individuals… . It is my opinion that we
have encountered such a case here.”
Theodore Kessis, Ph.D.
Applied DNA Resources
(Letter to Rep. Story 11/1/05)
“In summary,
there are numerous deficiencies in this case relating to the criminal investigation, evidence collection, evidence handling,
evidence storage, chain of custody, serology testing, and DNA testing. The types of errors and mistakes in this case are the
result of individuals not adhering to the accepted standards and practices of criminal investigation and forensic laboratory
testing.”
Dean A. Wideman, certified forensic consultant.
(Report to Rep. Story 3/30/06)
"There is, in my opinion, ample reason for a full inquiry into this case, and I hope that the Supreme Judicial
Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will agree."
Daniel L. Hartl
Professor
of Biology, Harvard University
(Letter to Rep. Story 8/21/06)
"After
reviewing a cross-section of the factors involved in Benjamin LaGuer’s case, the most reasonable conclusion is his conviction
was not merely a tragic error by an imperfect system, but it was a grave and avoidable miscarriage of justice."
Hans Sherrer
Publisher of Justice Denied
(Report to Rep. Ellen Story (9/6/06)
