That states if someone is convicted of a crime due to the faulty testimony of some expert who it later turns out is discovered to ******* insane, they get to stab that expert in the face when they are released.

At the end of August, there will be a hearing in Mississippi in the murder trial of 33-year-old Kennedy Brewer.
Brewer stands accused of the1991 murder of Christine Jackson, the 3-year-old daughter of his then-girlfriend.
Brewer was initially convicted of raping and strangling Jackson to death in 1995. He was sentenced to death, and has spent the last 12 years on death row.
Brewer was convicted largely due to the testimony of Dr. Michael West. West, a dentist in Forest County, Miss., is a self-described forensic odontologist, or bite mark analyst.
....
But even in an already imprecise field, Dr. West has taken forensic odontology to bizarre, megalomaniacal depths. West claims to have invented a system he modestly calls "The West Phenomenon," in which he dons a pair of yellow goggles and, with the aid of a blue laser, says he can identify bite marks, scratches, and other marks on a corpse that no one else can see—not even other forensics experts.
Conveniently, he claims his unique method can't be photographed or reproduced, which he says makes his opinions unimpeachable by other experts.
Yeah, fantastic. Next time I think my life is going poorly I'll have to remind myself that I wasn't convicted of brutal child rape and murder by a jury who bought the testimony of a snake oil salesman.
Judges have to put a stop to this ******** and say "No, you can't have this idiot testify. Appeal all you want."
