Thanks for bringing that up. That is one of the most interesting reports, and statistics regarding false reporting, out there.

Unlike the other stats on rape and false rape accusations which amount to lower bounds, the stat that one in four dna samples tested by the fbi lab exonerates the accused is a direct estimate of prevalence.

When Janet reno died a few weeks ago, I tried to point out that she deserved a lot of credit for taking an active interest in the plight of the falsely convicted. She was clearly on team law enforcement, but not only wrote a great forward to the report you linked, she also worked with the innocence project after leaving office. How many former prosecutors have you ever heard make a stink about false convictions, let alone work patiently to stop them and exonerate them?

I think MRAS should honor her.
