700 cases have to be reviewed thanks to this lying toad who successfully pretended to be a forensic scientist for 30 years! How the hell did this ridiculous situation happen? Don't the authorities check credentials of people they hire to help convict criminals?
"A bogus forensic psychologist who supplied evidence in hundreds of court cases over almost 30 years has been convicted on 20 charges. Gene Morrison, 48, who left school with no qualifications, was described in court as a charlatan who had tricked judges, lawyers and police. About 700 cases he worked on will now have to be re-assessed, Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court was told. The court heard he was paid at least £250,000 in taxpayers' money for giving apparently expert advice. Morrison's firm, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Bureau (CFIB), was hired to give evidence in court." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6383307.stm
