FBI used flawed hair-testing method to convict thousands of people for serious crimes in the 1980s and '90s - including some on death row

The FBI and the Justice Department are re-examining thousands of convictions based on forensic evidence
In the 1980s and '90s, FBI scientists testified in criminal cases based on flawed science

The method involved comparing hairs from the defendant to ones obtained from the crime scene under microscope
Presented by many scientists as irrefutable, the method is inexact

Letters are being sent to many inmates, some on death-row, explaining their right to DNA testing to prove their innocence

I can't quite see how 22 inch blond synthetic hair like fibers can come from a fall or MacDonald dolls as Kassab and Malone insisted, or made up. Real proof please? Had the MacDonald defense team been informed about all this at the time of the trial?
