The blog post seems to indicate the problem is systemic in the criminal justice system's attempts to integrate Science into its rulings:
> Once convicted, however, defendants in cases of faulty science run up against an anti-scientific defect in the system.
> Legal principles dictate a certain deference to the trial court’s decision. ... the court system would be hopelessly bogged down ... if the losers were entitled to endless rehearings of the facts. With scientific and medical questions, however, it means a reversal of the logic by which science moves.
(note to self: "... there are
four primary facets or canons (i.e., rules or
principles that guide a field of study) that define
the scientific method. They are empiricism,
determinism, parsimony, and testability." https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/469...
