Peter Neufeld Cases Quotations

The real issue is not whether one man was in fact guilty or innocent, it's rather that he set the example for what the other 49 governors should do on the hundreds of cases where DNA material still exists from people who have been executed.

We haven't been able to get (DNA) in most of the capital cases. In 75 percent of the cases we take on, we can't do DNA because the evidence has been lost or destroyed,

But more importantly, 90 percent of cases don't even involve biological evidence. And what that tells us is there are obviously tens of thousands of innocent people currently languishing in prisons in the United States.

The truth is if you speak to crime lab directors, they will tell you that in only a relatively small number of cases is there any DNA evidence.

(The head of the crime lab) was committing perjury in criminal cases where he would intentionally misrepresent scientific data to help prosecutors get a conviction, even when he knew that that data was false.
