Even More Evidence Of False Convictions

Turns out a ballistics expert that headed up the Maryland State Police firearms unit ... well ... isn't an expert at all. When he was exposed for being a fraud ... he shot himself dead.

A high-ranking police ballistics expert who testified in courts throughout Maryland and neighboring states killed himself after being confronted with evidence that he had lied about his credentials - a revelation that defense attorneys say could force new trials for some of the hundreds of people he helped convict.

Guess who gets to pay for hundreds of retrials? Hurray taxpayer!
