Crime lab investigator moves to next phase
KUHF-88.7's Jack Williams reports that yesterday's revelation that the HPD crime lab faked some test results may only be a precursor of more bad news to come later this summer:
The man in charge of investigating the Houston Police Department's Crime Lab says a new phase of his probe later this summer could uncover even more trouble, beyond his early finding that lab workers faked test results.
Independent investigator Michael Bromwich has been on the job for the past eight weeks and says the next phase of his investigation will begin in early July and include more in depth reviews of cases that involved forensic testing.

One of the labworkers who was found to have fabricated test results has left the department. The other one still works in the lab under tighter supervision.
Isn't it reassuring to know that a crime-lab worker can fabricate test results that potentially are about life and death, and still remain employed by the City of Houston, no doubt accruing generous pension benefits?
The Brown/Bradford legacy continues to grow.
UPDATE (06-02-2005): The Chronicle runs additional coverage from Steve McVicker.
